The Ancient Future: Dark Age is the first book in the time travelling fantasy Ancient Future series.

When a car accident leaves Tory stranded by an old stone circle late at night in the English countryside, she decides to spend the night at the sacred site. Through the mists of time and space, Merlin sees her, knows the legend which she will become, and sends her back to the Dark Ages. Prince Maelgwyn of Gwynedd and his knights stumble upon what they believe is a witch and threaten to kill the strange woman clad in unfamiliar leathers and fabrics. Fearing for her life, Tory challenges the Prince’s champion to unarmed combat. Thanks to a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, she easily bests him and in the process wins the Prince’s admiration and alters the course of British history.


An Echo in Time: Atlantis is the second book in the Ancient Future series.

Up the narrow stairway, inside the mountain, a door opens unto a marble plateau. Upon this stands a stone circle of nine large polished crystals. A turbulent cloud erupts overhead, its core alive with electromagnetic activity. For twenty years the kingdoms of Prydyn, Dumnonia and Dalriada have prospered in peace under the guidance of their High King, Maelgwn of Gwynedd, and his good Queen, Tory. But when the High King is stricken with madness and a mysterious plague, Britain threatens to be thrown into chaos. Tory seeks the advice of an advanced civilisation that thrived long before recorded history, where miracles were abundant. The women of the Otherworld agree to aid Tory to make her passage back through time, but once in Atlantis, she must rely on her own devices to find the cure she needs and a way to return to the Dark Ages.


Masters of Reality: The Gathering is the third and final book in the Ancient Future series.

For over 20 years, Tory Alexander ruled as Queen with her beloved, King Maelgwn of Gwynned, in 6th century Britain. Tory has fought the Saxons, travelled through time, and found a cure for her husband’s plague in Atlantis. Now, the Shining Ones and the Chosen, they who hide within the circuits of time, gather to defeat the evil ones and bring about a New Age. Tory and her clan head to the Gathering to aid in banishing the evil.
