Described as "a publishing sensation" by The Bookseller magazine, this series of five novels, written and published over the five years 2001-2005, were initially published by the author's own small publishing house, Greencroft Books, but they became best-sellers immediately, and they were then snapped up by Corgi for publication to a world-wide market.

Three of the titles have now been published in Corgi editions.

The stories are all about one woman -- the feisty and very imperfect Mistress Martha Morgan of Plas Ingli -- and the story of her very eventful life is told in her own words and through a diary format. Each of the novels covers a different phase of her life, starting in 1796 when she is a pregnant and suicidal eighteen-year-old following a shotgun wedding, and ending when she goes to her grave in a manner of her own choosing in 1855.

The stories are set in West Wales, and a central theme is the intense relationship between the heroine and her beloved Carningli -- the Angel Mountain of the title. But the stories are essentially human dramas on a sweeping scale, involving Martha's men and her children, and more than 200 memorable characters, and with story-lines that move on with great momentum. Some readers (both male and female) have remarked that the scope of the Saga is Shakespearean, in that "all human life is there."

Read the stories, and draw your own conclusions. Start with On Angel Mountain, and we guarantee that you'll be hooked............ you won't need any encouragement to pick up House of Angels and Dark Angel. But beware -- once you have picked them up, you probably won't be able to put them down!
