Cold Earth |
Six assorted people arrive in Greenland to excavate an ancient Norse settlement while already anxious about a spreading global pandemic (NB 1st published 2009 ). When graves are discovered unsettling mental images form and tensions begin to rise. When their internet and satellite phone fail panic spreads as they realise they are alone and isolated. Full of suspense, anthropology, archaeology, mysticism, haunting or hallucination, now freezing and starving - can they survive?

Ghost Wall |
A family dominated by a father fanatical in his pursuit of authenticity and a dilettante professor of Archaeology and his students spend a summer in Northumberland trying to experience the life of Iron Age Britons. Tensions building within and between both groups come to a head when the father and professor form an uneasy alliance to embrace imagined Iron Age rituals. Told by the family's daughter, this is a brief and gripping story which builds to a dramatic conclusion. Stays in the mind.
