All Jean wants is a peaceful life as a monk - but everything his adoptive father Wimer built is under threat, as the much larger Holy Trinity church tries to swallow Dodnash Priory whole. Jean must find a way to fight them off amidst all the chaos of King John's reign - or break the promise he made on his father's grave. "A fascinating and compelling journey through 12th Century East Anglia, told with an acute sense of time and place." (Amazon UK review of Sheriff and Priest) The Priest's Son continues the tale of Dodnash Priory, reeling from King John's punitive taxes and an England-wide excommunication. Jean, Wimer's adopted son, wants nothing more than to become a postulant and live in peace - but he must fight off the powers that want to split up the Priory and take its lands. Finally the Pope intervenes - but at a cost... I live about 1/4 mile away from where Dodnash Priory is marked on the map. It's at the bottom of a steep valley, and is flooded with the first autumn storm, and stays that way all winter. It's the last place you'd want to build a church and a community! Sheriff and Priest tells the story of how Wimer the Chaplain founded the Priory in a much more suitable place. Working as an amateur archaeologist, I stumbled over that site, and later confirmed it with research in the Suffolk Record Office; there's no doubt that the Priory moved over to the flooded meadow somewhere in the early 13th century, and it's long intrigued me as to why. The Priest's Son is the culmination of another 3 years' research; the events are real and documented, as are the major players. Jean and Edeva are fictional, because events alone do not make a story :)

Wimer the Chaplain - Saxon in a Norman world; friend of King Henry ll, excommunicated by Thomas Becket and the Pope - how can he save his soul? The King's mistress has the key... Winner of the "Discovered Diamond" and "Book Readers' Appreciation Group Medallion" awards! "This is a thoroughly enthralling story... A fascinating look into two friends’ lives during the 12th century. It is a well-written and researched historical tale" - Goodreads review Wimer could have become a monk. Instead, his decision to become a Chaplain – to make his way in the wider world of men – has put his soul in mortal danger. In 12th Century East Anglia, poor Saxon boys stay poor. It takes an exceptional one to win Henry II's friendship, and to rise to the job of High Sheriff of all Norfolk and Suffolk. Falling foul of the stormy relationship between Henry and his Archbishop, he is excommunicated three times, twice by Thomas a'Becket, and once by the Pope. He also falls in love with the King's Ward, Ida. Before he plucks up the courage to do anything about it, the King takes her as his mistress, and Ida needs Wimer's support to survive that dangerous liaison. Although he is eventually reinstated in the Church, his problems with his religious superiors, and his love for Ida, will guarantee him a place in Hell, unless he can find land and resources to do something spectacular in the way of penance...
