About the Book
'I was looking at myself in 1755, over two hundred and fifty years before. There had to be some reason for me to be there and i knew that I would get some out of answer. The scene began to change before my eyes. She was still there but i became aware of sounds, the same as those I had heard in my dreams, screams, the voices and then falling buildings' .

A historical story set in Portugal that has it's origins in a letter dated 4th May 1699. Based very loosely on actual historical events associated with the 1755 earthquake, It tell of a tragedy that still haunts the descendants, in particular a young English girl Bex (Rebecca).

This story is her story of how she confronts and lives with the impact of 1755.

Photography now competes with writing fiction. My first 'Memories Fade the Spirit Lingers' is a historical romance and ghost story with a difference as it covers nearly four centuries. The second 'Trust Betrayed' is very different and deals with what happens when trust between a photographer and model breaks down. My latest challenge is in writing the Memoirs of Kayleigh Sanderson which is still being written although the first books in the series are available here at Blurb. This is the life of a poor child who despite tragedies has a dream and the will to succeed. My photographic work includes traditional landscape including books of my journeys to Portugal and Kenya. In addition I work with a few professional models on projects covering ranging for casual fashion to fine art nude.
