That year, Michelle was only ten years old, and she was so embarrassed when I sent copies of her work to the family in lieu of Christmas cards.A Christmas Catastrophe was recently resurrected while going through old cabinets and closets, and upon reading it, it again held my attention until the very end and brought a great smile to my face and warmth to my heart.I decided that the world could use a smile and some warmth, and as a gift to Michelle, to have it published for years to come and maybe even someday be read when she has children of her own!I love you, pretty girl!—Mom

For almost seventeen years their lives have been identical but for one thing. Alaric's mother died following a train derailment two years ago - the same derailment that Naia’s mother survived. Now Naia and Alaric meet for the first time, with disastrous consequences for one of them. Consequences that will change a great many lives without anyone even suspecting it. Suddenly, nothing can be predicted or counted on - for anyone, anywhere.A CRACK IN THE LINE is the first of a much-praised three-novel sequence called The Aldous Lexicon. Volume two is SMALL ETERNITIES, volume three THE UNDERWOOD SEE. While the trilogy was written with teenagers in mind, in 2020 the author created an alternative version, in a single volume, for adults. This is called MOORHENS, and it is also available as a Kindle ebook. In MOORHENS all the character names and place names are different - as is the house name. It is no longer Withern Rise but, as the title suggests, Moorhens – and the two young leads are a more mature 20-21. There is some additional material in Moorhens, a great deal of revised writing, and a heightening of the profiles of the two main female characters.Set in England - primarily in 2005 but ranging back and forth over many years - the Aldous Lexicon trilogy was originally published in the US by Greenwillow and HarperTeen as The Withern Rise Trilogy. A Crack in the Line was shortlisted for: The Michael L.
