Summer's Spoken Winter's Words, is a Retrospective and Reflective Collection of Poetic Songs and Ideas, as if to suggest, that one Season knew what the other would do, upon looking back, in Recognising the most Recent and Past Events that have Shaped and Influenced my Artistic Expressions thus far. As much as they represent my Thoughts and Feelings to Date, in allowing me to Formulate and to Refine my Contemplations over a Defining Period of Time, as if somehow Summer were perhaps the Pre-determined Forecaster towards what I come to face, in the Future of an Eventful Winter.

But whose will it be? While carousing at a gambling den in the lower city, Val’s cousin kills one of the king’s favorites in a barroom brawl.

Here Val learns a secret that could change Etrara forever and turn this carefree poet into the savior of a frostbitten land.

In 1836, Anna Jameson sailed from London, England, to join her husband in Upper Canada, where he was serving as attorney general. Shaking off the mud of Muddy York with mild disdain, young Mrs. Jameson swiftly sallied forth to discover the New World for herself. The best known of all nineteenth century Canadian travel books, Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada is Jameson’s wonderfully entertaining account of her adventures, ranging from gleeful observations about the pretensions of high society in the colonies to a “wild expedition” she took by canoe into Indian country. Jameson’s keen eye, intrepid spirit, irreverent sense of humour and staunch feminist perspective make this journal an invaluable record of life in pre-Confederation Canada.

A chance encounter while shopping in a northern Spanish fishing port draws delectable, half-French, half-Polish Tamara von Rosenberg into friendship with Martin Haynes, a freelance writer and translator living in a nearby village. Their relationship, kindled through mutual intellectual interests, soon blossoms into caring, passionate affection. Tamara's idyllic holiday in Cantabria is brought to a premature and unhappy end when news reaches her that her widower father is dying following an inexplicable road accident on a remote Polish country lane. Tamara and Martin try in vain to solve the mystery of Ruben's death. Meanwhile, Tamara's perseverance with her late father's ambition to transform a derelict 19th century mansion into a nursing home is met with spiteful opposition. Certain individuals will resort to radical means to wrest the property from her hands. Poland plunges into a bleak and bitter winter of political turmoil and economic chaos amid growing opposition to the government's positive stance of future European Union membership. Nationalistic sympathies run high, and there is a renaissance of historic feuds. Tamara and Martin soon discover that staying alive in remote Rybkowo is a formidable challenge.
