The Grail Twins – A Cathar Legacy

More than a story – a mystery school initiation

A tale of dragons, an ancient bloodline, and the hidden wisdom of Sophia.

When Oxford doctor Annie Morgan turns to hypnotherapy to quiet her night terrors, she unlocks memories she cannot explain – glimpses of a Cathar girl fleeing Montségur, sacred relics entrusted to her care, and a treasure buried high above the monastery at Montserrat. As her visions lead her through Atlantis, Egypt, Druid Wales, Avalon, and Rosslyn Chapel, Annie pieces together the story of Anna and Dewi – twins born of Magdalene and Yeshua, protectors of Sophia’s flame, trained by Merlin and Taliesin, and guarded by dragons. In their Atlantean lifetime, their destiny is to restore balance after the Fall, healing the rift between light and shadow – a harmony that will one day awaken the true Grail. Now, as Annie walks the ancient stones and meets the man her soul has known for millennia, she learns what it truly means to be the Grail’s keeper in a world that has forgotten.

A story of love, remembrance, and the return of Sophia’s wisdom, The Grail Twins invites readers on a journey through history, myth, and the light within.

I am a children’s author, age group 8-12. I am delighted to be returning to the Oxford Indie Book Fair and look forward to meeting you.

For the past five years I have had the pleasure to write stories about an astonishing place. This place, at the very edge of the world, is the mysterious, undiscovered Island of Animaux. Full of the strangest creatures having crazy, mad, funny adventures.

I would love to introduce you to the principal characters: Aubrey the Turkey; Clifford Platypus; and Walli Hog. They’re firm friends, although Clifford and Walli always need to keep an eye on the infamous Aubrey, as he plans his next dastardly adventure.

The series contains six books, each with five separate tales:
• The Island of Animaux
• Monsieur Le Chef
• A Surprise Party
• Coffee and Ice Cream
• The Other Side
• Who’s There?

I think you will really enjoy the stories. And don’t be afraid to laugh, particularly at Aubrey’s expense. But please, please, please – remember to keep the latest location of the island top secret!

The Berthe the Witch series of books consists of 14 books in French and 2 translated into Spanish for children learning those languages. The stories are about a green witch called Berthe and her cat, who loves ice cream. The language is simple and is based on the themes covered in school: description, weather, clothes, family, a visit to a restaurant, shop or Paris etc.. As the author I have had fifty years of teaching languages to children to know what to include and try to make them fun.

Each book contains a story, a word search, a game to make and a list of vocabulary. Each French book has a QR code on the back which links to the story being read. There are also two quizzes on my website for each book.

The books are used in schools across the country and abroad and featured in an article in the Scholastic Junior Education Plus magazine under the title Ten of the Best MFL Resources. They were the only storybooks mentioned.

Most importantly, children say that they enjoy the stories because they can understand them and they make them laugh.

The Little Review is the pocket magazine for anyone interested in poetry. It is sold in more UK bookshops than any other magazine dedicated to poetry.

In each issue you will find pithy reviews, erudite essays, stylish comic-strips, impertinent interviews, a fiendish literary crossword and a handful of new poems.

Poetry magazines can be very dull. The Little Review is not a poetry magazine. We are a magazine – one that just happens to be entirely about poetry.

I’m the author of the Blood and Shadows trilogy and an upcoming RomCom. I may or may not bring prerelease copies of the RomCom that is scheduled to release in December. I also run an indie author only bookstore called ISBNuk, Indie Supporters Book Nook, which contains everything you need as an indie author.
