Tales of a Traveler

Losing the twenty-first century was bad enough, but Martha Bigalow's situation is about to become a whole lot worse. Only days after her marriage to Vadim-a handsome outlaw stalked by grim shadows of the past-she is captured by his nemesis, the evil Earl of Edgeway. While awaiting her fate in a dank dungeon beneath Edgeway's castle, Anselm-Vadim's twisted foster brother-offers her a way out, an alternative to a tortuous and painful death. Forced into a life of deceit, Martha discovers friendship where she least expects to find it, even within the stronghold of the enemy, and by the time war descends on Edgeway, the boundary between black and white-friend and foe-is less distinct. As the castle braces itself for a bitter siege, Martha's loyalty is divided, her love for Vadim tested to its limit... and may even prove to be yet another casualty of war.

Wolfsbane

Giving birth is never easy. In a medieval world, it's another circle of hell! Martha and Vadim are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first baby. But their little bundle of joy has sailed past his 'due by' date and shows no sign of wanting to make an appearance. Late pregnancy isn't any fun, and Martha's just about reached the end of her tether. Lack of sleep gives her plenty of time to worry about the many risks associated with medieval childbirth. On top of that, Vadim's overprotectiveness has hit a new all-time high. His constant fretting and clucking is beginning to drive her slightly nuts. How long will she be able to keep hold of her temper? Impending fatherhood is nothing like Vadim imagined it would be. When Martha bluntly refuses to go into her confinement, instead of attending to his duties as Earl of Edgeway, he's forced to shadow his wife around the castle while she goes about the business of 'keeping active'. The problem is, here in Erde Martha is as vulnerable as any other pregnant woman. All of her other-worldly wisdom will not save her from what lies ahead. How can Vadim make her understand his fears? Anselm watches from the outside as Vadim and Martha confront the greatest challenge of their married life. When everything starts falling apart, will he have the courage to step out of the shadows and take control, and do what needs to be done? (A Novella of approximately 110 pages)
