A long weekend at the seaside should be enjoyable for the Thorntons, but murder soon changes everything.

Mr George Carmichael has invited them to his home to celebrate the birthday of his elder daughter Prudence. Alexandra and Edith can’t understand why, because even though they had attended Miss Violet’s Finishing School together, they never liked Prudence Carmichael, nor she them.

Alexandra suspected that Mr George wanted to quiz her father over the prices of his various antiques. This had happened before, but they’d never all been invited.

After travelling from Thornton Park to Queenscliff, a town on the Victorian coast, they arrive at Monterey, the Carmichael’s home. On the first evening, tensions run high between Prudence and her younger sister, Winifred, over the possession of an emerald necklace.

Alexandra also discovers that almost everyone has their hand out wanting money, as if they consider George Carmichael their personal bank manager.  

Later that evening when murder happens, Alexandra isn’t surprised. However, she is astonished at who is murdered.

THE TREASURE

Set in a fictional  medieval land

For two hundred years, villagers have fought over a legendary treasure but when

The story of a woman and a horse – both broken.

https://linktr.ee/ellenreadauthor

A re-imagining of the Ancient Irish legend of Brigid, the Triple Goddess.

An enchantment protects her and imprisons her. Bree accepts her life. Áine, her aunt, has told her they must endure their quiet existence in their cave home to protect the ancient fire of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the race from whom she and Áine are descended. Bree enjoys reading of the exploits of the ancient people but their tales of heroism seem far removed from her life.

Then Bree’s world is torn apart. Lu, a god of the Tuatha Dé Danann, with his hound, Kuon, breach their cave’s enchantments and tells them they must go with him. The Outer Veil has been breached and Mór, an evil goddess, and her fiends, are determined to breach the Inner Veil.

Eighteen year old Bree finds herself thrust into the role of leader of her people. She has days to learn the ways of the Tuatha Dé Danann and become the Triple Goddess, so she can face Mór in battle.

To prove to her people of gods and goddesses, immortals, fairies, giants and centaurs, that she is worthy of ruling them, Bree must stand on the Stone of Fál – it will cry out if she is worthy of being the triple goddess. 

The day of battle arrives – Samhain. Bree and her army face the horde of the dead. Bree, using her powers, makes fire burn in her palms.

Yet she must face Mór once again in the ultimate struggle for her life.
