RamshackleWhen Kallie Clay appears on the doorstep of the crumbling Ramshackle Manor in Yorkshire, she has no idea of the wild, sweet magic she is about to unlock. The seven precocious orphans welcome their new governess and she witnesses their burgeoning peculiar powers that are echoed in her own. Their guardian, the charming Professor Alisdair Avery, has his own sort of magic, and together they help the children come into their own while protecting the secret that is the magical refuge of Ramshackle. They will need all of their wits and power and most of all - love - to fight the very real threat of malignant forces that seek out an ancient power they want to harness to their dark purposes to control the world.
All signs point to Ramshackle. Grounded in historical events of post-war England like Operation Pied Piper and incorporating the true-life details of Victory gardens and rationing, the facts lend credence to the fantasy, making the imaginary world concrete and letting the reader truly believe in magic. Taking inspiration from the Möbius strip , the story ends where it begins. |
Return to RamshackleFollowing the characters from the first novel, this book hurtles back through the centuries. We visit 1965, 1947, 1900, 1825, 1633, and end up around 40AD to meet Druids and get to the root of the magicks that have permeated the lives of the inhabitants of Ramshackle.
The main character comes of age and faces her romantic feelings for the first time. For all the time spent in the archaic past, the story is progressive and inclusive. |
Coming Soon...
With a crack of lightning, everything... everyone... in Victoria Cresswell-Thornton's life is disappearing. Once again, the answers can only be found in the distant past and she will need every ally her grandmother ever made to keep the ultimate dark fate from blotting out the light. As the Roman legions mass to decimate the Druids, as the ancient tree gods run rampant through the Continent, as a quest for aide takes her companions to ancient Tibet, these threads hold power to strangle the future if they are overtaken.
