A cursed child, a dangerous path, and a price to pay ...
Six-fingered Mary Sparrow dreams of escape from the brothel that is the only world she knows. But when a mysterious old man drives her friend to madness, she begins to fear for her life.
Toby Chyrche also hopes for a better future, away from the confines of the tailor's shop where it seems his fate is set in stone. So when a chance meeting with an old man at the brothel offers him a different path, he is only too eager to accept. Then the discovery of an old book of magic throws a new and shocking light onto the past - his mother had a brother, and that brother was a witch.
As the old man's shadow lengthens, Mary is drawn into the growing web of darkness. Unable to escape its reach alone, she turns to Toby for help. But Toby has daemons of his own to face. Will possession of the book be enough to protect them from the old man's power? And what price will they have to pay for victory?
For the Sorcerer's Whore, nothing is as it seems ...

ENGLAND, 1944.
A chance meeting changes two people's lives for ever.
Young American pilot Tom Blake isn't looking for love, but seeing Anna Pilgrim in a tearoom on a cold winter afternoon changes everything. So begins a passionate affair.
Their happiness does not last. Shot down over Europe, wounded, in hiding, Tom has no way of telling Anna he is alive. And Anna, left waiting in England, has no way of finding out. How can she know that Tom is struggling to return to her? Or that the thought of her is all that keeps him going on the long journey home?
Interwoven with the danger of Tom's fight to survive is the story of Anna's own struggle to face the uncertainty of waiting. Set vividly against the hardship of the Second World War, Another Time and Place is at once a compelling love story, an enthralling adventure and a moving depiction of the resilience of the human spirit.

A spellbinding tale of love, friendship and betrayal set against the turbulence of 17thCentury England.
England 1604. A new king has ascended the throne and the future of the realm is uncertain. As the different factions vie for supremacy, two friends are swept into the conflict.
Ben Kemp has recently returned from seven years of exile in the East. Now, seeking only to be left in peace to worship how he wishes, he joins a small community of puritans who have so far escaped persecution. But in a world where non-conformity is a crime, the king has stepped up the hunt for dissenters, and the net draws ever closer.
Then his old friend, biblical scholar Richard Clarke, is offered a place on the king's new translation of the bible. For Richard it seems like a gift from God, a way back in from the cold where his friendship with Ben has kept him for many years. With his loyalties questioned, he had given up hope of advancement long ago. But Richard soon discovers there is a price to pay for his new-found favour, and that price is betrayal. Caught between love for his friend and faith in his church, Richard is faced with a devastating choice.
