An author debut at the age of 75

It really shouldn’t have taken this long, but to be fair, it started as a single book and turned into a historical fiction trilogy.

 

The birth, or rather conception, of The Swaddling, began when I was carrying out some research on angels.

 

They fascinated me and during the research; I realised how much more angelic activity there was during the birth of Christ.

 

This made me wonder why...

Fast-paced historical fiction

Determined archaeologist, Melody Thornton has been burdened by debilitating visions since she was a young girl.

 

Now a lecturer in a prestigious university, the visions have reached a new height and Melody knows she must find the swaddling clothes that once held the baby Jesus.

 

With the help of experts, the visions and the historical Magi, Melody sets off to Iran in search of the healing cloth. But because of the artefact’s supposed power, Melody isn’t the only one who wants it. In fact, certain powerful people will kill for it.

 

In the face of this constant threat, will Melody find the swaddling? And if she does, can she protect it?
