The year 2025 saw the release of Treasure, the 13th book in The Circle of Ceridwen Saga series.

The beautiful little medieval town of Visby is lit up for Jul, with Advent stars and candelabras in all the windows as we near the shortest day of the year.

This was a year of confusion, limitation, disappointment, and at times real fear.

Every year a large – 40,000 participants – and beautifully orchestrated Medieval Week – Medeltidsveckan – is held here on Gotland.

I admit I went to Dublin to see three exquisite pieces of Irish workmanship, the Book of Kells at Trinity Library, the Tara Brooch, and the Ardagh chalice.

Soon there will be seven novels in The Circle of Ceridwen Saga.

Many of you have seen the recent conclusions of DNA testing affirming that a 9th c burial at Birka, Sweden with weaponry was indeed that of a woman.

By the end of July, Tindr, Book Five of The Circle of Ceridwen Saga, will be released on Audible.

There is something solid, reassuring, and pleasurable in the simplest things we were once surrounded by.

Have you ever tasted skyr?
