Is it Stormhaven's best kept secret? The Community of the Holy Fire is a convent by the sea with a leader who has plans. Abbess Hildegard wishes to turn the community into a beacon of 'Greenness' - a prophetic call to the world in the face of terrifying climate change. 'Green is not a hobby for fanatics,' she says.

Is it Stormhaven's best kept secret? The Community of the Holy Fire is a convent by the sea with a leader who has plans. Abbess Hildegard wishes to turn the community into a beacon of 'Greenness' - a prophetic call to the world in the face of terrifying climate change. 'Green is not a hobby for fanatics,' she says. 'It is the warp and weft of all that is!' But time and tide wait for no one, and on the night of the Great Bonfire, the abbess is killed in a manner no one deserves. It is another case for D.I. Shah and Abbot Peter, as they attempt to find the murderer among the saints by the sea. Who could hate her so much - and why? 'Let justice roll!' said the prophet Amos but the forces against it are strong and neither Shah nor the abbot will ever forget the Community of the Holy Fire, which some call, 'an inconvenient convent'.

The Secret Testament of Julian The Secret Testament of Julian Simon Parke Other territories... Also available as an eBook Julian of Norwich was the first woman in the world to write a book in English, and yet had largely disappeared from view until her rediscovery during the twentieth century. A fourteenth century anchoress in Norwich, she lived in a cell for forty years, surrounded by savage plague, political inequality and religious bigotry. Yet Julian gave the world one of its most famous calls to hope: 'All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.' Who was she? Why did she pray for a near-death experience and then choose containment in a cell? And how did she come to speak with such optimism? In The Secret Testament of Julian, she tells her own story, full of difficulty and joy. No plaster saint, but a flesh and blood woman who from the silence of her cell speaks with a strength that few today can equal. Let Julian tell her story. About the author Simon Parke has been a scriptwriter for Spitting Image, a Sony award-winning radio writer and a priest in the Church of England. He is now CEO of The Mind Clinic and author of the Abbot Peter murder mysteries, set in Seaford on the Sussex coast where Simon now lives with Shellie, seagulls and his running shoes.
