Coming soon: The Things We Were Warned About

A trilogy of interconnected tales, drawn from half-remembered folklore, village cautions and the quiet rules passed down at hearth and bedside. Each story follows ordinary people, who chose to listen (or not), when faced with old warnings about love, loss and what's waits beyond the safe edge of the world. 

Moving from candle-lit kitchens, to liminal crossroads at dawn, the trilogy explores why such rules endure, what they cost and how tenderness exists even in the presence of fear. These stories are about restraint as an act of love, courage as a form of listening and the fragile, luminous hope that survives when warnings are not discarded, but are understood and broken regardless. 

With grateful thanks to my literary circle, "TCM", who provide inspiration, intrigue, investigative insight and unasked for critique!

I booked passage on the  SS Auroral Grace , a grand but slightly old-fashioned ocean liner with sweeping staircases, a string quartet and a chapel tucked away awkwardly between the smoking room and the library.  I travelled  second class  on purpose. ...
