The Druid\u2019s Portal series is a genre blend of action, adventure, romance, time travel and magical historical fantasy. Set in Roman Britain in the Hadrian\u2019s Wall region.<\/p>\n

On the First Journey, travel back in time with modern day archaeologist Janet and meet Roman soldier Trajan. Described as the book the writers of Indiana Jones wanted to write, and a runner up in the Raven awards for dark fantasy.<\/p>\n

The Second Journey is now on Amazon. Join Ethan, son of Janet and Trajan as he follows his heart into danger and an alternate history that will lead him from Hadrian\u2019s Wall to the dark past of Stonehenge.<\/p>\n

A portal closed for 2,000 years.<\/p>\n

An ancient religion twisted by modern greed.<\/p>\n

A love that crosses the centuries.<\/p>\n

An ancient druid pendant shows archaeologist Janet visions of Roman soldier Trajan. The visions are of danger, death, and love \u2013 are they a promise or a curse?<\/p>\n

Her fianc\u00e9 Daman hurts and abandons her before the wedding, her beloved museum is ransacked, and a robed man vanishes before her eyes. Haunted by visions of a time she knows long gone, Janet teeters on the edge of a breakdown.<\/p>\n

In the shadow of Hadrian\u2019s Wall and 2,000 years back in time, Janet\u2019s past and present collide. Daman has vowed to drive the invaders from the shores of Britain, and march his barbarian hordes to Rome. Trajan swears vengeance against the man who threatens both his loves – Janet and the Empire.<\/p>\n

Time is running out – for everyone.<\/p>\n
