Alsaldic Lands Trilogy
Part of the Spinner’s Cycle
Two thousand years after the events of The Spinner’s Game, Kerrid is the Head of the Kerdolan and granary traders. Though established in this role, there are still Asars who oppose her, led by Urinod who believes the moment of Kerrid’s death will return the Asars to their rightful otherworld realm. Stuck between these are the next generation, Brictans born of Asar-human parentage, and those who seek to make a life within the increasingly important Alsaldic Lands. This trilogy maps the development, flowering and collapse of the Alsaldic Empire as it moves from its birth within an early agricultural society, through the copper and bronze-using warrior cults, to topple at the first whisper of iron.

Alsalda Bear
Book Two
Of Black Birds That Ride Over Water
A Neolithic/Bronze Age Odyssey
Born into the granary family, Detah believes she has no choice but to be a granary-worker; the keeper herself if her sister should die without daughters. But Detah prefers to be a trader and traveller like her father whose stories she devours. Her opportunity arrives on the heels of four horsemen from Dal Uest where a judgement has been made and their clan must leave. That arrival and the changes wrought throw the granary system into turmoil. Now is Detah’s chance – but first she must stand against her family.

Author’s Note
This is a work of imagination, inspired by mythology, anthropology and archaeology; it does not purport to be an accurate or speculative account of the Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures of Western Europe.

Failing to find a place on the space programme – to boldy go – I turned my vision inwards to a study of psychology and exploration of spirituality. This encouraged an outward journey to explore this world, its peoples, its beliefs, but mostly its pasts. From this exploration, I returned with the core of my writing.

Now I invite you to explore other ways, other times, and other worlds with me.

For the more mundane minded: As a shy child with a speech problem, the written word came as a release, enabling me to express myself without being asked, ‘Eh? What did you say? Say again?’ I wrote my first ‘proper’ story when I was nine. A gothic offering to scare my friends. Since then, there’s been scarcely a day when I haven’t been busy writing. Novels. The short story form doesn’t appeal to me, although over recent months I have posted micro-fiction on my website.

In my early teens, I visited Grimes Graves, the Neolithic flint mines in Breckland, Norfolk. The following summer, I visited Stonehenge in Wiltshire. And thus began a lifelong interest in the archaeology of prehistory. The study of myths and legends seemed a natural progression, and thus on to linguistics (despite my inability to pronounce the words).

Resident in Norfolk where my roots dig deep, my regular rambles into the surrounding countryside provides balance to the cerebral… and ample subjects for my camera. A few of my photos I post at crispinakemp.com along with micro-fiction, poetry, and updates on the novel writing.
