Greetings all,
Want to read a historical esoteric murder mystery trilogy where the heathens and pagans are actually the ‘good guys’? If so, check this out. My lady’s first book has gone into global distribution and will be available at bookstores in about 6 – 8 weeks. Meanwhile click this link: http://www.lulu.com/tkshay then at the storefront page, click on the smaller image icon in the bottom left hand corner and you are navigated to a web page where you can read a twenty-page preview and/or make an online purchase for a hardcopy or download.
T.K Shay and Creirwy Designs & Productions announce the release of “Echoes of Dyma dal Iesin: Book I of the Rugby Player’s Tale” (ISBN 1-4116-6400-0; Page length 349; 6x9 perfect bound), is available immediately and published in conjunction with Lulu (www.lulu.com), the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books.
Synopsis: Having lost a wager on a rugby match, Gareth Lynn is obliged to tell his English friend, Matt Allcott, a tale in the tradition of an ancient Bard. Using the Welsh legend of Ceridwen, Gwion Bach, the Cauldron of Inspiration and the birth of the great Bard Taliesin, as a framework, the wily Gareth unfolds an epic saga set in late 6th century CE Europe.
The mysterious and grisly murder of a heretical Arian Christian clergyman fuels suspicion and mistrust amongst the disparate groups inhabiting the environs of the beleaguered City of Rome. As more deaths follow, a seething undercurrent of political and religious machinations spreads across the former western Roman Provinces, ensnaring pious Catholics, outraged Arians, incensed Langobards, determined Goths, ambitious Franks, arrogant Byzantines, desperate Brittani, bemused Avars, inscrutable Hebrews, stoic Angles and irascible Saxons. A small but diverse group bound together by an arcane concordance is determined to put an end to the strife. Their endeavours lead to them towards the events surrounding the birth of the great Bard Taliesin, and also to glimpse the actual nature of what confronts them.
As the first major instalment of the tale draws to a close, Matt and his wife Sarah, are left with a distinct impression that there is far more to their affable friend than meets the eye.
Thanks for looking, :thumbup:
Frith,
Athelstan
