The Bearnshaw Series
Medieval Family Saga
Legend of the Whyte Doe
Rich in folklore, landscape, and historical detail, The Legend of the Whyte Doe begins a family saga that follows the Bearnshaws through the triumphs, tragedies, and upheavals of a brutal, changing world. A single pact made between Sibyl Bearnshaw and the newly crowned Edward IV sets in motion consequences that will echo through generations.
Triumph of the Red Dragon
Due to Sibyl Bearnshaw's determination, her son Edmund grows up under the protection of the House of York. Entrusted to the care of his uncle Richard of Gloucester, Edmund is raised at the heart of a dynasty that seems destined to rule England forever. But kingdoms are no more secure than families.
Return of the Sunne
Edmund Bearnshaw refuses to abandon the Yorkist cause, even as the world around him moves on. As his daughters begin to question the path he has chosen, the Bearnshaw family finds itself divided between devotion and survival. In a changing world, the question is no longer who has won—but what, and who, is worth holding on to.
Man’s Forgotten Friend: A History of the Ox
Oxen have worked alongside humans since the earliest days of farming, shaping landscapes, economies, and daily life in ways that are now largely forgotten. Man’s Forgotten Friend explores this lost relationship between people and working cattle, tracing their influence from the British countryside to the wider world.
Drawing on historical sources and lived understanding of working animals, the book reintroduces the ox as a partner in human history—revealing the skill, strength, and character of a creature that once powered civilisation itself.
