If that fails, I leave it altogether and go on with other projects such as animation and multimedia, or just do some outdoor activity.(less)

I am mainly working on the sequel to "Wings in the Wind..." called "Seasons of the Sun." This takes the story beyond the boundaries of the Land of Mawha, into the realms of the Wild Eagles.

I have left the second part of the "Poor Preachers" on the back burner for the moment. The Lollards are travelling further afield with their message. However, I feel the need for more research (maybe even on site -- on the other side of the globe!) to make the story more authentic to the culture and side issues of the period.

I have also been planning a new series called "The Adventures of the Lollard Knights". This concerns the aristocratic support for the Lollard movement, their activities and struggles.(less)
