Margaret Snowdon: my 10th novel -
IN THE SHADOW OF LOVE - NOW AVAILABLE ON Amazon and Kindle.com
Sir Maxwell Barrington and Sarah Asselbrough married in May 1912. It was a marriage he had not wanted, but his father had gambled the family fortune away, so if Sir Maxwell was to save Christleton Hall and the estate ? his inheritance - he had no choice but to marry for money.
Sarah was well aware of this, but lived in hope that Maxwell would one day love her as passionately as she loved him.
Born in the poorest slums of Liverpool, Ruby Mansell is viciously attacked, which alters her life forever. Befriended by Lady Sarah, she?s taken to Christleton Hall where she lives in luxury she never dreamed of. But as she grows into a strikingly, beautiful young woman, she?s torn between loyalty to Lady Sarah and her love for Sir Maxwell - a love that brings her heartache she could never have imagined.

Margaret Snowdon: Hello again, my friends -- still battling with health problems, but am confident that this 3rd lot of stents I've just had inserted will surely make a world of difference.

I WILL BE BACK.
Good health and happiness to you all.

Margaret

Margaret Snowdon: Hello, my friendw,
Sorry I haven't been able to review your work, but I'm attending rehab at the hospital 3 times a week - 3 hours each session, plus still editing books when I've time. Miss you all. xx
Blessings,
Margaret

Margaret Snowdon: I'm still wading through editing ---- Writing is hard, tedious work for few rewards, but it is compulsive. And those few rewards can be great indeed, seeing your novel on a bookstore shelf, and receiving messages from fans; and winning awards. There is sheer pleasure of starting with a blank page and experiencing the excitement of bringing a character to life. Of delving beneath the facts of what happened and when, and filling in all the missing bits of why, how and with whom. That is the joy of writing.
I cannot give up writing, not while I still have another story in my head to share. I have great respect and fondness for all my followers: fans, friends and readers alike. Your encouragement and enthusiasm was all the incentive I needed to make the decision to keep my characters alive and well. And in print.
For that, I thank each and every one of you.

Blessings,
Margaret

Margaret Snowdon: I'd like to thank all my fans and friends who have supported me throughout the year - you're all truly appreciated.

I will be taking a break from novel writing this year as I've 4 completed books to edit. However, I'll still be on line from time to time to reply to messages etc., post the odd poem and review as much as I can.

Happy New Year to you all

Blessings,
Margaret

-------------------------------------------
A work of fiction - written with Nature lovers in mind, this story is about wild-life, country-folk and their way of life - set in The Lake District of Cumbria, England, where every problem in life is eased as peace and beauty shed their blessings like sunset glow at eventide.
Jake Goodwin is a young man who has a love of solitary places, the seeing eye and a sympathetic heart for all living creatures. It's a three mile tramp over the fells from the cottage where he lives with his widowed mother, to the moss-clad barn in which he works as apprentice carpenter alongside Fletcher Hopper, over in Uldale.
Jake makes a friend of young Julia Furnell, whose parents have taken over Uldale Farm.
Over the years, their love of nature draws the two young people closer together. Will Hopper, Fletcher's rapscallion, dare-devil son, fights Jake over Julia. But will she turn to him? Or does her heart belong to Jake?
When tragedy strikes, it changes Jake's life. Will he loose his shyness and tell Julia how he feels about her? Or is he to lead a life of loneliness?

1)THE PROMISE OF HEAVEN (The Greenward Saga) ALSO AVAILBE ON KINDLE
2)WHERE THE CURLEW FLIES
3)THE EDGE OF HEAVEN (sequel, but also can stand-alone)
THE PROMISE OF HEAVEN
A passionate saga set in the first half of the nineteenth century in the glorious Lake District of Cumbria, England, in the midst of a mining and farming community. And the High Society of Piccadilly, London - "the magic mile" as it was known, stretching from Hyde Park Corner all the way along to Piccadilly Circus, revealing a glittering age in all its splendid and scandalous variety. A story of love and unsettling passions, of the people and the land, relating to two very different young women and the men in their lives.
The first, the alluring Madame Duprez - an exquisitely beautiful and wealthy, young widow with the most extravagant tastes of a Courtesan, who can seduce a man at twenty paces without even showing her flesh.
The second, the lovely 17-year-old Jessica Greenward �?? a warm-hearted girl that believes in love and magic and who assumes, with the optimism of youth, that every cloud has a silver lining. Yet, not quite an Angel, with a streak of wildness about her that is admired by more than just one man. Luke Sheridan, who constantly plagues her mind, is already married to another, but when his young wife tragically dies in childbirth, Jessica starts a turbulent friendship that turns into a wild love that has to struggle for fulfilment through a time of deep sorrow.
=========================================
WHERE THE CURLEW FLIES
Jessica Greenward is a young woman who yearned for a lifetime union with the man who has stolen her heart, the handsome Luke Sheridan, to live in a fine house in the Lakelands of Cumbria, which was her idea of Heaven.
Luke Sheridan is a prosperous business man, owner of the Low Wood Timber Company and The Sheridan Mining Company. The mines that had claimed the lives of two of Jessica�??s brothers, and of which her father, Daniel Greenward, is manager. Luke�??s strength derives from the countryside in which, for all his absorption in money making, his heart lies. Having lost his first wife in childbirth, he marries Jessica for breeding purposes only, but to his surprise finds that the more he sees of her, the more he likes her. But then, Amelia Duprez comes back into his life, whose very touch is a zest and exhilaration that stirs his blood, satisfying a yearning for fresh experiences. Luke is drawn to her like a moth to a flame. Stooping to such a course is merely a craving for lust �?? no more strange than hunger �?? a hunger that finally leads to disaster.
When the man she loves approaches her with The Promise of Heaven, Jessica gladly accepts and expects him to love her in return. But faced with demons of loss and pain, she is gradually bowed and almost broken when he abuses her in the most appalling way.
