WINGS OVER DELFT

Book 1: the
Louise
trilogy

Delft, Holland, 1654. Louise Eeden reluctantly agrees to have her portrait painted. Things are moving too fast in her life. Everyone
believes
she is engaged to Reynier DeVries; she is chaperoned and protected – a commodity to be exchanged in a marriage that will merge two pottery businesses. In the studio with Master Haitink and his apprentice, Pieter, Louise unexpectedly finds the freedom to be herself. Friendship grows into love, but unknown to Louise, her every move is being reported, and behind the scenes a web of treachery is gradually unravelling. Then fate, in the form of a
careless
watchman at the gunpowder store, steps in …

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

Book 2: the
Louise
trilogy

France, 1792. As revolution sweeps through his country, Gaston Morteau, a lieutenant in the Hussars, rescues the painting of Louise from a canal in Holland. Louise becomes a very real presence in his life, sharing his experiences: the trauma of war, and his meeting with Napoleon. When Gaston is forced to give up the portrait to the devious Count du Bois, Louise becomes embroiled in a tale of political intrigue and Gothic horror.
