All Hallows Eve comes to the town of Middleham in a swirl of autumnal leaves and bonfire smoke. Young Edward, the son of Duke Richard of Gloucester, wants to join in with the traditional festivities--the turnip lanterns, the Soul Caking, the storytelling in the churchyard. Richard agrees, despite the reluctance of his wife, Duchess Anne, and the frail little boy and his half-sister, Katherine, go to join the festivities. Old Gatty tells traditional, haunting tales of the Yorkshire dales--the man-eating Water Horse of the Ure, the witch of the hazelnut tree, the evil giant of Penhill with his spiked club.
A merry night is had by all, but after the fires go out, young Edward is still restless and slips away into the darkness. And what might a lone young lad meet upon the road?

SACRED KING, a historical fantasy novella about King Richard III, the battle of Bosworth, and its aftermath. In August, 1485, King Richard III rides on the hunt in Bestwood Park, near Nottingham, and sees a disturbing vision, a man being killed in ritualistic manner, his blood given to the hungry Land. Riding into Leicester with his army several days later, eager to face the invading Henry Tudor and defend his crown, he encounters yet more disturbing omens…the old woman Agnes Black upon Bow Bridge, who prophecies his head will strike the stone upon his return from the field. On the day of battle, the King is betrayed and loses his life in a heroic last charge, his blood falling on the red soil of Redemore Plain…. but that is not the end. A Lady who walks between Heaven and Hell takes Richard Plantagenet to the Middle Kingdom, like the prophet Thomas the Rhymer many centuries before. Will he join her band of unearthly knights, or will he find a way to escape from what he sees as purgatory? Includes a climax featuring the latter day discovery of the body of Richard III in a car park in Leicester, on the actual anniversary of the King's burial at Greyfriars after Bosworth—the event of his 'return to the world' heralded by brooding storm clouds. A tale of sacrifice and redemption, weaving into the story not only the history of Richard III’s final days, but various underlying legends and pieces of folklore connected with the event. SACRED KING is a fantasy, but perhaps most of all it is a story of hope. It tries to ascribe deeper meaning and a greater heroism using powerful archetypes such as The Doomed Hero, prevalent in stories millennia old. Revised Second Edition with NEW FINAL CHAPTER!

In the days coming up to Christmas, Richard, Duke of Gloucester (later to be Richard III) seeks shelter in York from a snowstorm that has blocked the roads into Middleham. As usual, he stays with the Austin Friars at the Lendal, with their massive library of precious books. Normally, he would enjoy his visit with the Friars, but this time, he is worried that he will not make it home in time for the Christmas Feast with his wife Anne, his small son Edward, and his friends, Francis and Nan Lovell. He prays for a miracle--and soon the skies begin to clear and the snow melts. Anticipating an early start the next morning before a new storm sweeps in, the Duke heads to his bed chamber to get some much-needed rest...
And then he is rudely woken by loud noise outside his window. Someone definitely does not believe in 'silent night'!

What must a Duke do to get a bit of peaceful sleep??

Based on an actual incident in late medieval York!

Compilation of short fiction featuring Richard III and his family. Originally published as three separate volumes: Tales of the White Boar, Loyaulte, and Sons of York. 10 tales of historical fiction set in the era of the Wars of the Roses, mostly featuring a younger Richard, as a child and as the Duke of Gloucester. Now listed in chronological order to capture the sweep of the period...from Richard's traumatic birth to Duchess Cecily in 1452, to the sack of Ludlow and the death at Wakefield of the Duke of York and Edmund of Rutland, to the joys of a pilgrimage to Walsingham and subsequent disaster at Olney, when Richard's brother Edward IV is captured by Warwick's men. Then there is exile, and the fancies of a lonely young man abroad, followed by the earnest young Duke taking his wife Anne to the healing springs of Malvern on a journey of remembrance, and a chance meeting with the fickle Duke of Buckingham at a wedding of royal children. The anthology finishes with a sad story of Anne and Richard in Scarborough after the death of their only son, and then with a light hearted ghost tale about the Duke of Buckingham haunting Debenhams. OVER 140 PAGES. With historical notes where applicable.
