The Oak Grove Conspiracies: (The Excalibur Parchment; The Lucifer Scross; The Prince Madoc Secret) Wales is a land of history, music, culture, legends and myths. What if some of the legends were true? What if the legends still have an impact on the 21st century world? This series probes some of the great legends through Welsh eyes and at Welsh locations. It is a world of intrigue, terrorism, mystical wonders and wildly divergent religious faiths. Excalibur looks at King Arthur’s legendary sword; Lucif Scroll considers the Spear of Destiny and its impact on history’s tyrants; Prince Madoc looks at the legend of a Welsh Prince who arrived and settled in North America 300 years before Columbus. The books are popular page-turners and have been compared to Tom Clancy and Ken Follet.

Facing great opposition George Frederick Handel clawed his way back in a true story that actually reflects modern society: fickle public tastes, vested political and religious opposition, public sex scandals, public scorn. anti-immigrant movements and, finally, redemption. Musick for the King is a true story told in an entertaining way. |
