One of my early novels is in a free giveaway! It's about a time travelling history teacher, which I was when I wrote it. Well, not the time travelling bit. Must admit, I still love this one, and it will always have a special place in my heart. If you haven't read it - here you go!

First in the Tapestry Tales series. FACT MEETS FICTION with castles, a noble knight, battles, a misguided monk and a grasping uncle. There’s Clémence, educated to an unusual degree for one such as she, and wanting more from the life into which she’s born.
