About the author

I've written a new series! It's a distant sequel to The Annals of Lystra (begun in Chataine's Guardian) and The Latter Annals (begun in Nicole of Prie Mer). This is where it begins:

Thirty-five years after the assassination of Henry, Surchatain of Lystra, the province is no more and its capital Westford a shadow of its medieval greatness. With the fever now ravaging the palace, the army, and the town, a new Surchatain has ascended the throne of Westford, requiring a loyalty oath for all his subjects and soldiers.

Efran, Captain of the Red Regiment of the Army of Westford, is Polonti—a member of the brown-skinned, black-haired race generally regarded with contempt by Southerners on the Continent, including many in Westford. Knowing of the loyalty oath required on pain of death, Efran lays plans to leave once he has recovered from the fever himself.

But Efran is hindered by entanglements with the Surchatain’s two daughters—one who despises him and one who adores him.

He is appointed guardian of one Chataine. When the palace begins crumbling on its foundations, Efran takes his charge and a street urchin to an abandoned fortress south of Westford in the midst of wolf territory. While he gathers more homeless children at the fortress, the other Chataine prepares to lead an army against him for the legendary treasure hidden in the desolate Abbey of St. Benedict on the Sea.

The Stories of the Abbey of St. Benedict on the Sea comprise 36 novellas, each around 50,000 words, that make for one continuous story from the beginning to a definite end. ​To introduce this series, I'm offering free pdf and epub downloads of all the stories. Each pdf includes links, pronunciations, maps, and an illustration with notes.  (The epubs  contain all of the above except maps.)

Read the Streiker books years ago when I was a teenager and loved them!

[Elizabeth Gibbs · Rating 5 out of 5]

I could hardly put this book down. It's the second in the Streiker series. When Fletcher suddenly goes missing Adair follows his directions to take over his most important work, but she's not quite sure how to handle it once she finds out what it is. Robin Hardy is an incredible writer. The adventures never cease!(I read this book many years ago, and loved it just as much, if not more, the second time around.)

This is like the fifteenth time I've read Streiker The Killdeer, and yes...I love it still. This is the second in the Streiker trilogy, full of action, romance and suspense. Books 1 and 2 are my favorite, but 3 is kind of weird. It takes a strange twist so I usually forgo re-reading that one.

A sequel to Striker's Bride, and just as good.

[Angela Sellers · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was good, but there were so many twists and turns.

[Marcia Hill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this continued love story.

[Melissa (Semi Hiatus Until After the Holidays) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Don't let the odd title put you off, this is a wonderful story. Second in the trilogy that starts with Streiker's Bride.

[Shannon · Rating 3 out of 5]
