About this title

About the Author

As a writer in the Mythic Fiction genre I have been greatly influenced by the English playwright David Rudkin (Penda’s Fen and Sir Gawain & The Green Knight) as well as by the historians Francis Tudsbery and Peter Beresford Ellis and by the mythologist Roger Sherman Loomis. Further inspiration has come from the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood of artists and poets: and the Romantic painter John William Waterhouse. The music of singer-songwriters Maggie Reilly and Kate Bush has been particularly influential and I have recently been honoured to work on a collaborative creative film and music project with Maggie: Lilith: The Last Temptation of Adam based on this, my book of the same name. My study of the psychology of myths and their enduring presence within the human psyche has been informed by a lifelong study of the work of Carl Gustav Jung and thirty years journey-work with the human soul as a psychodynamic psychotherapist. I am indebted too to my muse and femme inspiratice: l'Orchidée whose belief in me has never faltered and whose spiritual sustenance through every trial and tribulation has made my creative work possible. Yet the most enduring influence on my creativity has been that of the land itself. From my earliest, nascent and most fleeting moments of childhood consciousness: I have been aware of the latent psyche of the ancient Wirral peninsula and felt its stories reaching out to me – stories long forgotten or overwritten – but still present in its living fields, meadows, brooks, and hills. The eternal myths that have arisen out from the communion between mind and earth are as relevant now as they were for the ancient peoples of this land: and if we but only allow them, – they still speak to us...
