Modern Knights Don't Wear Armour
Old-fashioned, gallant George Callenby-Knight has no defence against young, gorgeous Jennie Stevens, when she decides to seduce him. But how clever is it to get involved with a girl half your age, from the opposite end of the social spectrum, who is also your boss’s mistress? Modern Knights Don’t Wear Armour is set in Birmingham in 1972-73. It is a part humorous, part serious look at issues of class and family, free love and its consequences and what the pill did to marriage. All as experienced by George, a prematurely middle-aged, mother-dominated refugee from life and Jennie, a girl in need of a knight in shining armour, who drags him into the contemporary world.

 Hi, welcome to my website. I am a Swedish-born, Leicestershire-based writer with a love of the Lake District and the Cumbrian mountains. My novel Shield-Maiden is about Viking-settlers in Cumbria during the 10th Century when the people of the Dane Law made their last stand against the expanding Saxons and Mercians. It has a strong story-line, plenty of action and it is unusual in that it features a young woman as the main character. Before I got hooked on Vikings I wrote a 1970's story set in Birmingham. This one is for you, baby-boomers or anyone else interested in the 70's.
