The Angel Mountain Saga has now accumulated sales of over 70,000. This is Part 6...…Get your copy now, and enter the enchanting world of Martha Morgan, a VERY imperfect heroine.Th... show more ▼is is a sequel to the first five novels of the Angel Mountain Saga, set at about the same time as the Jane Austen novels. Those who are familiar with the series will find some characters and settings that they know and love; but this story ranges far more widely, leaving West Wales behind and taking in episodes set in the industrial districts of Merthyr Tydfil, and in Paris. It is a story of an elderly lady who calls herself Susanna Ravenhill and who lives far more dangerously than is recommended for someone of her age.

Old and new characters come to life in his thought provoking and clever sequel to the brilliant Angel Mountain stories.”The author enjoyed writing this one -- he calls it a "fairy story" and in the course of the narrative, for a nice change, nobody actually gets killed....... But serious issues are covered too — the social deprivation of working class areas during the period of rampant Victorian industrialisation, the need for the protection of special places, the meaning of loyalty, and the psychological impact associated with a loss of identity.A strange memoir called “The Ghost of Inglestone” is found among the rejected Gothic novels of the defunct London publishers Pickersniff and Jebson. The author is unknown in the records of Victorian literature. Who was she, and what was she doing in London in 1857? Read the tale and find out….
