Anna O – the world will know her name.

Anna o hasn’t opened her eyes for four years. Not since the night she was found in a deep sleep by the bodies of her best friends, suspected of a chilling double murder.

For Doctor Benedict Prince, a forensic psychologist on London’s Harley Street, waking Anna O could be career-defining. As an expert in sleep, he knows all about the darkest chambers of the mind; the secrets that lie buried in the subconscious.

As he begins Anna O’s treatment – studying his patient’s dreams, combing her memories, visiting the site where the horrors played out – he pulls on the thread of a much deeper, darker mystery.

Awakening Anna O isn’t the end of the story, it’s just the beginning.

In their home port of Bristol, the Seymores were feared, but they had no difficulty in obtaining crews for their ships. They paid well and expected blind loyalty. Woe betide anyone who talked of what happened in foreign lands.... In a lifetime, I have had many interests. A keen gardener, dabbled in politics, dramatics, wine making, old music and dance, also religiion. Most of all, I observe the different interests of all kinds of people. Probably, this gives me the urge to write. The characters that I write about are fictional, with a hint of truth. My service in the Royal Navy has given me a wide spectrum of human nature.
