  • Ep. 5: Turning Traitor
    Apr 10 2018

    The story opens in an unnamed place, in the far distant past where mammoths and sabre toothed tigers roam and humans have to hunt and forage for their food. The narrator is a twelve-year-old child, a sure, confident voice who tells of her family group's travel through this hostile land. And, then, the scene shifts and we find ourselves securely in the present day and we learn that our protagonist Skye is in sixth form and has survived cancer.

    Set in Norfolk, this crime of betrayal takes us to an archaeological site on the beach where Skye's Geography class has come to observe an important new finding. Weaving together two distinct time-lines in the same location, this is a hugely ambitious work by a writer of unbridled imagination and talent.
