Do take a look at my website, it's filled with all things Merrievian!
This is a tale I've wanted to write for many years, although work and life have been in the way. Finally I've completed the first trilogy, although having created my world, I can see there are many more tales to come.
We live in a world where evil stalks ready to destroy. it changes people, societies, our very culture.
It creates hate and brings death, division and dissolution. My books seek out this evil and look for the truths and the good in ordinary people who are willing to sacrifice to overcome it.
I've drawn from my own Western European legends and myths because this is my heritage and it's what I'm comfortable with, it's where my heart lies. I've tried to maintain the accuracy of a pre-gunpowder age, nominally termed 'medieval'.
I also wanted to experiment with relationships. When a group of people have lived, worked and faced death together, they become close. My group decided to become very close, a family.
As for me - married for oh, lots of years, two wonderful grown up daughters, previously worked with husband in accountancy practice. I enjoy cooking too, mum taught me well, along with gardening and photography. I'm also an avid pc rpg gamer - you'll find an easter egg or two devoted to my favourite games hidden in the books, The music too - so inspirational.
I live in a beautiful area of Lancashire, on the edge of the Ribble Valley, a few miles from the mysterious Pendle hill of the witches' fame.
Pendle Hill and the wonderful works of Tolkien have greatly inspired my writing.

You'll find my garden on Flickr too, and if you look on my Facebook page - Stephy Dewar - you'll see the greenhouse I call Rivendell.
As for life itself ... well, c'est la vie as the French say.
