PREAMBLE

These stories were, mainly, released in 2002 in the title When I See the Wild God.

We cause disquiet. We make questions but it’s not our way to give answers. The wildness and the frightening places. The cave entrance under the ice at the base of that crevasse. Blue handprints on the rock face imprinted with an ochre of confusion. By people we cannot name and from a time we cannot confirm. We are Once Upon a Timepeople. People of the reindeer. Volcano people. I know that air has feelings and that messages can be sent through the earth; that I can touch someone, and their lives will be forever changed but that I am not responsible. I know the shape of that cloud is a conversation. That a forked stick can find water. That the ring around the moon warns of rain. That what I can tell you can go straight to your gut or your throat, and yes that’s metaphor but it’s also not me doing it. It’s you feeling it because even though we are seemingly separate I can look at you and you might squirm because I know you are lying and are so lonely. Anything you do will have consequences. Everything has consequences.

Mirrors are all around us.

Legends of the Sidhe

Crow Magic: Novella

2nd in the Legends of the Sídhe, Traveler Series, The Quickening draws on ancestral magic, ancient lore and pulls it into today.

Among us walk a race older than time, around us are doorways to other realities and people who are not recognised for who and what they truly are. Among them dwell Hunter and Brighid, Black Annis, Willie the fiddle player and Raven, the most anti-social of them all, and the many others who keep magic alive in the world and who touch, in passing, those who seem lost merely because they have been blinded by disregard. Kathryn and Merrin seem as different as light and dark, but a common thread weaves them into a trap to disrupt the evil of one man, determined to remove the magic from the world, a man whose own motives are hidden even from himself.

The shape of a woman moves from the darkness of the stone’s shadow, a cloak of moths surrounding her insubstantiality. She takes her time. She takes Hunter’s head between both hands, her fingers melting deeply into the thick fur ruff. 

The Quickening is a tale of human cruelty and its redemption. Of enchantment and contemporary folklore, based on ancient legend. If you are lost, and need finding, perhaps the folk will come if you whisper your longing to the night.

The Quickening: No one knows what’s really going on. Except, perhaps, a conspiracy of ravens.

3rd in the Legends of the Sídhe, Traveler series, The Shining Isle holds a secret worth protecting, no matter the cost.

The island of Inishrún, small and forbidding, holds a deeply protected secret. It is home to the Sidhe, a magical race as old as the earth. This is their stronghold in a world that has forgotten them.

Holly Tremenhere, sad and disillusioned with her life, travels across the wild sea to the island on the second-to-last ferry before winter closes the crossing. She is there to unravel the mystery of who she truly is and the only living person who can tell her is her beautiful, estranged aunt, Mim.

What Holly does not know is that she is about to be thrust into the heart of a mystery, a time out of legend and an inheritance that will forever change her; one that culminates in a magical but deadly redemption.

The Shining Isle: The Quicken Tree

MERCY RILEY is thrust into life in the cramped, cold little room down back of Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrows Mother and Baby Home. In the rarely-visited coastal village of Weary Bay. A place of shame, Mercy is born and raised a secret. Never permitted to know her mother, her name concocted for expedience by strangers. While social acceptability is not her destiny neither is obscurity and around the age of thirteen she escapes. Lost and vulnerable she is discovered and aided by Black Annis, not even slightly mortal. Taken in by the Travelers she is sequestered, for her protection and education, with Maisie Raith the Weary Bay’s generations-long practitioner of witchcraft, where she learns some semblance of what it means to live beyond a walled, barred institution. She learns to heal and foretell a person’s death through tarot cards, but she is also taught—maybe randomly, maybe by design—to kill with precision.

At the very close of winter, the city of New Rathmore is rendered powerless beneath the frozen discord of a late season arctic ice vortex. The metaphor of From Winter, Spring is Born, is sung in folktales the world over; is anthropomorphized, of necessity, for children and should change as a youngster becomes adult but… What of truth? What is the game and how serious are the players? And where are the rules?

Almost everyone underestimates Mercy Riley. Most do not realize she is not—and never will be—like them.
