She always enjoyed telling tales, but when, at the age of twelve, she saw the BBC's dramatisation of Charles Kingsley's Hereward the Wake, with Alfred Lynch in the title role, her world was never quite the same again. She was set on the course to writing historical fiction, starting with her own version of Hereward's story, The Saxon Tapestry.Sile immersed herself for many years in Saxon history and lore. Leaving school at fifteen to work in a toy factory in Kent, she continued to collect material and write alongside her various jobs. The Saxon Tapestry was published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1991, to glowing reviews, and went into an American edition the following year.A new edition of The Saxon Tapestry, in two parts, is being published on Smashwords this summer: Book 1: The Changeling, and Book 2: The Loom of Battle.Sile lives in Ramsgate, Kent, with her cats Vanilla and Romney and many other feline waifs and strays whom she looks after on behalf of the cat rescue charity Cats in Crisis Thanet, of which she is a founding member.She is currently putting the finishing touches on her next novel, Danse in Indigo.visualizza meno
