Is Half-Sister the reincarnation of the Buddha’s dog – or not? The answer is revealed in The Stone of Truth, the final episode of the Enlightened Spaniel Trilogy. Our two intrepid spaniels, guided by their unwavering belief in the Buddha’s teachings, undertake to discover the truth. The conclusion of their quest hinges on the discovery of an ancient stone and the transcription of its mysterious markings. Assisted by a host of sentient beings both human and otherwise our spaniels traverse the countryside in a journey filled with ancient wisdom, humour, and compassion for all living beings.
I’m a bestselling author of books with a leaning towards spirituality and nature, I get it from my grandmother. There is never a book without a dog, or a cat, wandering somewhere between the pages.
I’ve been a piano player, and a meditation teacher. I like to think that within my books are little snippets of wisdom, little gems picked up along life’s journey.
In 2019 The Enlightened Spaniel – A Dog’s Quest to be a Buddhist was published. It has become an international bestseller and has to date been translated in five languages.
In 2020 the second book of The Enlightened Spaniel Trilogy – The Cat with One Life Left was published. The final book, The Stone of Truth followed in 2021.
My latest book A Gift for a Curious Mind will be published in the near future.
I continue to live in North East England and take my inspiration from the stunning landscapes and wildlife that bless the area. There is always a story hidden in the present moment – if you pay attention.
The Stone of Truth is a gentle,heartfelt finale to a truly unique trilogy.Following the two spaniels on their spiritual journey felt both uplifting and calming,like stepping into a fable filled with warmth, humor,and quiet wisdom.The blend of Buddhist philosophy,animal companionship,and adventure creates a story that feels light yet meaningful.It’s the kind of book that leaves you smiling,thinking, and feeling a little more compassionate toward the world.A lovely,soulful read for anyone who enjoys stories with heart.
