The Wedding Shroud – A Tale of Ancient Rome : Elisabeth Storrs
The Wedding Shroud – A Tale of Ancient Rome
‘a sensitivity to the realities of life in a very different time and world’ Ursula Le Guin
In 406 BC, to seal a tenuous truce, the young Roman Caecilia is wedded to Vel Mastarna, an Etruscan nobleman from the city of Veii. The fledgling Republic lies only twelve miles across the Tiber from its neighbour, but the cities are from opposing worlds so different are their customs and beliefs.
Leaving behind a righteous society, Caecilia is determined to remain true to Roman virtues while living among the sinful Etruscans. Instead she finds herself tempted by a mystical, hedonistic culture which offers pleasure and independence to women as well as a chance to persuade the Gods to delay her destiny. Yet Mastarna and his people also hold dark secrets and, as war looms, Caecilia discovers that Fate is not so easy to control and that she must finally choose where her allegiance lies.
Exploring themes of sexuality, destiny versus self-determination and tolerance versus prejudice, The Wedding Shroud is a novel that vividly captures a historical time and place while accenting the lives of women of the ancient world.

Life and Death – Making Sense of It : Francis O’Neill
Life and Death – Making Sense of It
A thought-provoking spiritual perspective on our lives.
Sometime, some day, maybe not all that far away, you are going to leave your physical body and move on… This will be the biggest event of your life, and if you haven’t yet considered it, or made preparation for it, then you really ought to read this book…
Written by a reformed sceptic, Life and Death – Making Sense of It, will take you on an adventure to exploring just what it is you have let yourself in for – by coming to the Earth. It offers insight and clarity on our situation. It proposes answers to leading questions about life and death – and these answers are a long way from what we are being taught by conventional means.
The book challenges our increasingly secular take on life, and its denial of the afterlife. It draws on a range of sources, including the paranormal, NDE, past lives, and mediumship. It explores and offers an explanation for the rise of human consciousness. It provides insight, including esoteric perspectives, into the soul, reincarnation, karma and the ‘Other Side.’
In his twenties, the author, Francis O’Neill, was an atheist and existentialist in his beliefs. Only later did he realise he had got it wrong. This was after experiencing one particular paranormal event – he’s had a few – and later coming across a book by C.G. Jung. From that point on he began to explore life from a different perspective. It has become his lifelong study and research, taking him into archaeology, astrology, psychology and esoteric knowledge, to gain a clearer understanding of the human situation.
This book is the outcome and reflection on his personal journey.
The book is available in paperback and ebook versions – Kindle, EPUB and PDF. Get the Introduction and related articles for free – visit the book’s website.

Court On Mount High
There is growing frustration, discontent, and fear among the animal kingdom. Entire species have become extinct and hundreds more are endangered. There seems to be no end to their suffering.
The environment, too, is being plagued by deforestation and contaminants; both the water and air are highly polluted. The few humans who are rich and powerful wield seemingly unstoppable power while the majority of humanity are helpless, manipulated, and abused.
Finally, one soul summons the moral strength to question the status quo, and the unthinkable happens! Court on Mount High is an invigorating novelette that will inflame and mobilize a passion for the animal kingdom and the environment, which we mutually inhabit.
The characters, acting upon a driving need for change, evoke a universal hope for the future.
