"If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?" (Emily Dickinson)
My first three medieval mysteries, the Mariana novels THE WITCH OF BALINTORE, THIRTEEN-CARD SPREAD and WRONG WAY ROUND THE CHURCH are all now also available in Kindle Editions (as is a special edition of THE JESUS BHAKTI POEMS along with FIN DE MILLENNIUM)
