Christmas at Lydiard Park: A war-time ghost story of hope and love
|
|
From Fragment to Novel...
On this day 552 years ago, my ancestress, Elysabeth St.John Scrope, was in Sanctuary within Westminster Abbey with the deposed queen, Elizabeth Woodville. My Elysabeth had been ordered there by King Henry VI to attend Elizabeth "late calling hir Quiene" to witness the birth of her child.

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.”

“Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.”

“I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather, C. S. Lewis.”

You may like to read GUILTY WIVES, which is a unique story that takes a group of fun-loving wives from the ultimate in luxury to a nightmare existence behind bars after they are accused of murder. James Patterson comes up with the worst kind of betrayal.You may also like to check out my new crime thriller STITCH UP! - KILLER OR VICTIM? which has received glowing endorsements and reviews. The Sun newspaper's Stuart Pink says it has "a riveting plot and electrifying double twist" while author Francis Wait says it is a MUST for everyone who likes Peter James and Jeffrey Archer thrillers. Best wishes, Tony Flood, author of celebrity book My Life With The Stars - Sizzling Secrets Spilled!, fantasy adventure Secret Potion and spicy crime thriller Triple Tease.
