‘STORM FROST’ is based on Anglo-Saxon poems, apparently telling the earliest love-story in English. Here is love, lust, betrayal, courage and fear. It is the story of Niartha, outcast from her people, encountering hardship, abuse and loss in her search for her exiled lover. He is Eni Wulfgrim, brother of Raedwald who will become King of the Eastern Angles at Sutton Hoo, and who is also involved in the story. We meet Eadwacer, the king’s messenger Review: A brilliantly written love-story – I couldn’t put it down. The author takes you on a journey through love, deceit, exile and discovery, whilst maintaining the historical content, which is obviously accurately researched. A tightly-woven narrative is skilfully intertwined with factual information, giving a nice balance which leaves the reader wanting more. I was disappointed when it finished! (Julia on Amazon) ‘BRIGHTFIRE’ is the sequel to ‘Storm Frost’, but this historical novel can also stand alone. Sub-titled ‘A Tale of Sutton Hoo’, it covers important events during and after the reign of Anglo-Saxon King Raedwald of Sutton Hoo, who was buried in his ship under a great mound. The story is set mostly in and around his homestead nearby, with some scenes set in Northumbria and elsewhere (see Background/Map). The period is 608-633 AD, when Christianity is struggling to take hold on the eastern side of Britain.

Renewing her acquaintance with the Anglo-Saxons (after studying Old English at University) she has reawakened her interest in Anglo-Saxon language, culture and customs leading to the writing of these historical novels based in the land of the Wuffings in the 7th century AD. Pauline gives a range of talks to clubs, societies and schools all over Suffolk and sometimes elsewhere.
