Cloudberry have published three of my Cornish historical novels. These three are now re-titled as:
In the Shadow of a Curse
Chains, crippling work and torture make life a living hell for slaves on the Vanson’s Alabama cotton plantation.
When his woman is brutally raped by the master, an enslaved shaman strikes back in the only way he knows … by calling on centuries of African tribal sorcery to curse the Vanson men to disaster in love, and the family to extinction.
Kit Vanson – sickened by the evil abuse meted out by his father and his brothers – flees back to his roots on his late grandfather’s sleepy Cornish farm, aiming to find peace of mind.
But he carries with him a burden of crushing guilt. And when he tries to atone for the family sins by coming to the rescue in a merciless vendetta against beautiful neighbour, Wenna Lanyon, he discovers that the Vanson curse has followed him across the ocean.
In the Shadow of Disgrace
In the year 1789, Jeffrey St Vincent returns to his native Cornwall after being discharged from the Royal Navy in disgrace. While he is contemplating his options, his path crosses with Nell Tregrain, a young woman sailing from London to Penperran with her sick father. She is distrustful of men, but needs the help of someone who can handle her father’s boat.
Jeffrey’s life becomes increasingly intertwined with Nell’s until they find themselves caught up in grave danger. Can Jeffrey rescue the situation and wipe out the shadow of disgrace that hangs over him? Or will he and Nell fall foul of the harsh hand of eighteenth century law?
In the Shadow of Deception.
Pasco Carne, a Cornish village policeman, is good at his job, but unsuccessful in finding long-lasting love. When the woman he wants to marry is killed, he spends more time with her cousin, Morwen Rowse. Inevitably, they begin to fall in love.
However, there is a secret surrounding Morwen’s past and she has no idea what it is. Against a background of Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee celebrations, Morwen and Pasco get caught up in a web of lies and deceit spun by those who want to keep that secret to themselves.
Can Pasco and Morwen get to the truth of the matter? Or will the shadow of deception cause a permanent rift between them?
