The Silver Sheep
book 1:
Would you choose to keep your family safe
or change the world?
In a society led to believe that it is dangerous for bare feet to touch the ground, Cleo is used to living disconnected. Disconnected from the Earth, her alcoholic mother and absent father, and from her crazy, incoherent grandfather. So, when Cleo discovers that she is pregnant at sixteen, it makes sense that she goes searching for a connection.
Ignoring her mother’s warnings, Cleo hunts down her estranged grandmother and uncovers the truth behind her family’s disunity and dysfunction. When she finds herself caught in a web of secrets and lies, Cleo must decide whether to keep her family’s secrets and keep them safe, or whether to betray them, expose the lies, and potentially change the world.
The Silver Shepherd
book 2:
Sheep attack shepherds when wolves tell lies
Cleo is a young Australian mother who lives an alternative lifestyle in one of the last remaining hippie communities. She is used to suffering for her choices; Walking around shoeless in a society that considers it dangerous and deplorable is either really brave, or really stupid... but that is the least of her concerns.
Cleo has inherited a secret from her family’s twisted past. A secret that some very powerful people are making sure stays kept, by any means necessary.
A secret that could change the world.
Before Cleo became a mother, she was a fighter and a rebel. But now she stays silent, reluctant to put her child at risk and carrying a heavy burden. However, when a suspicious tragedy strikes her family, Cleo realises that even if she keeps their secret, she is never going to be safe, and her child will never grow up free. No one will.
Something needs to be done, and it needs to be done by her.
The Silver Maid
A novella
You can take the girl out of the town,
but can you put her back again?
Wanting to break free from the small-town small-mindedness of her past, Fern, chooses to take a job as a live-in nanny, housekeeper, and tutor, in the city mansion of the wealthy Silverson family.
When Fern finds out that her mother, Maria, has had a stroke, Fern travels back to her childhood hometown of Orbeda - a 5 hour drive from the mansion, with a population of 2,500 people that she left behind for a reason.
As soon as Fern arrives in Orbeda, she needs to defend herself against her own family, who does not take her, or her job, seriously at all. With old family tensions flaring and her self-worth floundering, in a town where everyone knows everyone, Fern has no choice but to face her past. Then, when Maria's health takes a turn for the worse, Fern finds herself doing the very thing she was trying to avoid, and what she ran away from in the first place.
