Loizos (Paperback)


At once tender and savage, LOIZOS is the story of a youthful, blind beggar abducted to Crete together with Prince Theseus and twelve other young Athenians, male and female, to be sacrificed to the feared Bull Fod in Knossos. They survive not only this ordeal but the harrowing journey back to Athens, encountering physical danger, rivalry, friendship, love and above all a biding team spirit under the leadership of the charismatic Theseus. Enmeshed in the tale of Loizos, the legend of Theseus and Ariadne is re-told, in which there are no monsters, only human monsters.

By the same author, FAITH, HOPE AND CHRISTOPHER, THE SECRET LIFE is a gripping fictional account of skullduggery in high places built around FAITH, the first wife of SIR CHRISTOPHER WREN about whom almost nothing is truly known, set against a background of Civil War, Plague, the Great Fire of London and the building of St. Paul's Cathedral. ISBN 978-1-4343-4174-7.

THE LAD FROM SANDAL is a twentieth century saga of involvement in wars, violence and personal conflict. Life is a deadly game of snakes and ladders for Joe, the lad from Sandal on the outskirts of Wakefield, in love with the unattainable Eva and 'all but wed' to a beautiful redhead, Clare. He is independent, adventurous and makes enemies. When tragedy strikes he is helped back to health by loyal friends and family. However, the story doesn't end there... ISBN 978-1-4567-7072-3.
