The Reluctant Goddess
Ellena Ripley is a bookshop owner from a rural town in the south of England – or so she thinks. But lately, she has a growing sense that life is not as it seems. At night, she dreams of a serene man who appears to be trying to tell her something; In the day, she can’t shake a feeling of expectation. But of what?
Meanwhile Hector, servant of LIFE and the man from Ellena’s dreams, has a dilemma. How do you tell someone they are a goddess? His previous attempts have met with disaster so he must be cautious, particularly when his new trainee, Boudica, formerly Queen of the Iceni tries to help. The question is can they succeed before it is too late?
REVIEWS
“The Reluctant Goddess” is a multi-level modern fantasy fiction novel for the intelligent reader, taking us into a fascinating world where there is more to life than meets the eye.

The Reluctant Goddess is so much more than a ‘once upon a time’ story, more like once upon a universe. A story not contained within the world we know, but more in the world we suspect or hope might be. Where the meaning of life the universe and everything does not equal 42 but takes us so far beyond and within us all.
The journey that the author takes us on, is challenging, but becoming the observer travelling through time and space makes for a rich experience, with characters and settings to fascinate and delight us. The interconnectedness of LIFE makes us human and super human, stretching our minds and comforting us at the same time. There is a plan!
So fasten your seatbelt, open your heart and mind, and make the leap! Just like the reluctant goddess, you won’t regret it.
