Deeds of Darkness;
Deeds of Light

Even though it is World book Day, there seems to be little made of it in America—at least in my neck of the woods. But for several years now I’ll admit to reading with considerable envy my British writer friends’ announcements of event they were participating in for the day.

Well, it happened this year—I managed to be in England...

This month I’m especially telling readers about my Holy Week/Easter novel A Darkly Hidden Truth, book 2 in the Monastery Murders: 

Lent and Easter in a monastery—a sacred, set-aside time—until a valuable icon goes missing. And Felicity’s difficult  mother turns up unexpectedly. And a good friend turns up murdered... A clerical mystery in the classic English detective style.

It is part of Celebrate His Love, a group promotion, along with more than 25 great Christian reads. You can download...

What a special day this is—St. Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday. At first glance they might seem at opposite ends of the spectrum, but at heart, both are expressions of love—human and divine.

Society leaders, university dons, famous preachers, celebrated sportsmen, powerful politicians, highwaymen and rogues… Stories told often in their own words as they direct—and are...

October 25 is the day the church remembers the brothers Crispin and Crispinian, cobblers who were martyred under Diocletian. The day has become more famous, however, as the day of the Battle of Agincourt because of the stirring speech Shakespeare has the young Henry V make to his troops on the even of battle.

In my book A Newly Crimsoned Reliquary, book 4 The Monastery Murders, Felicity, in Oxford, goes to a coffee house where a local actor is reciting the speech.

From the far side of the octagonal room an actor strode forward clad in a red and blue Plantagenet surcoat. “I thank you, brave fellows all.” He bowed and swept the room with his arm. “We join in revels as others could have done on this very spot to celebrate the victory of brave Harry, for this very building in which you are enjoying your libations, was more than a century old when Harry so inspired his...
