We are now into the year 2020, and with the fresh optimism of a new year, so I am going to start making regular blog posts once again. The excitement of publishing my first book, Royal Witches, and the amount of my time that has taken up is now dying down, and it is time […]

For English people, as monuments go, Stonehenge is one of the most famous. Some people don’t necessarily get the big deal about it – I mean, it is just a bunch of rocks after all – but for others this ancient monument evokes great passion. Not only is it still a place of worship, but […]
