The Cheviot Hills of Northumberland have a wild and mesmerising beauty. People have made this landscape their home for two thousand years. Now only a few hill farms cling to the slopes, but once it was a thriving Iron Age community.
There is something haunting about the landscape, something that suggests the past is only a whisper away. If ever a place feels like it is alive, this is it.
It was an easy decision to choose the Cheviots as the main setting for my novel, The Story of Light, which explores the themes of reincarnation and destiny.
Bridget spent her early years in the Cheviots, as an Iron Age
priestess. When fate forced her to leave, she made a promise that she would one day return.
Two thousand years later, she fulfils her vow. Now a scientist and confirmed unbeliever in anything mystical or spiritual, she finds the land is speaking to her in ways she struggles to accept,
awakening long buried memories of the past and unveiling the path chosen for her future.
I think the environment dictates the story as much as the characters do. I use strong settings throughout the story, which has a definite influence on its outcome.
