A Quiet Tide
Unmarried, childless and sickly, Ellen Hutchins was considered an 'unsuccessful' woman, dutifully bound to her family's once grand and isolated estate, Ballylickey House in County Cork. And yet, by the time of her death in 1815, Ireland's first female botanist, self-taught and determined to make her mark, had catalogued over a thousand species of seaweed and plants from her native Bantry Bay. In Marianne Lee's remarkable debut novel, Ellen's rich but tormented inner life is reclaimed from the repression by gender, class and politics of her time, stealing glimpses of the happiness and autonomy she could never quite articulate. As she reaches for meaning and expression through her work, the eruption of a long-simmering family feud and the rise of Ellen's own darkness - her 'quiet tide' - threaten to destroy her already fragile future. A Quiet Tide is a life examined, a heart-breaking, haunting story that at last captures the essence and humanity of a long forgotten Irishwoman.

Marianne Dreams
It was while she was ill and in bed for several weeks that Marianne found the pencil. It looked quite ordinary, but it wasn't. The things she drew with it - a house, a landscape, the face watching at the window - came alive in her dreams. Sometimes what she drew was good and friendly; sometimes bad and frightening. Once, without quite meaning to, she put herself and the boy in her dreams into a very real danger, from which the only possible escape needed more courage than Marianne thought she could possibly find ... The story has been adapted for the major feature film Paperhouse starring Charlotte Burke as Anna (Marianne), Elliot Spears and Ben Cross.
Severe Christianity
Christian, how satisfied are you with the God you know? Or better, is God satisfied with the level of commitment you have with Him? Severe Christianity dips into the cauldron of what drastic Christianity is designed to be, identifying four stair steps of devotion from slight to saturated on which believers in Jesus have stationed themselves, uncovering what Scripture has divulged God's expectations to be. This book is for those who sincerely want more knowledge and personal dynamic from their relation to God. The culture's antagonism to Christian faith is analyzed and challenged. Much more than what we thought we knew of Him will be considered, and the narrow pathway to the bliss promised is explored with tight-fisted determination to glean the best of our faith in the Christ we love.
