Gower Ghosts Published!

I am very happy to announce that my new guidebook Gower Ghosts is published today. 

There is more to explore on the Gower Peninsula than its outstanding natural beauty.

This is my second in my series of Gower guide books, the first being my most popular book to date - The Verry Volk - the Faery Folklore of the Gower Peninsula.

There will be a third, as yet untitled, book in these series of Gower guidebooks - look out for that sometime in 2023 (fingers crossed)...

On I plough...

Sometimes navigating a pen across a piece of paper feels like dragging an anchor through a rainforest. But, with just 94 days left to put this beast to bed, on I plough...
