A cat, the snow, and a kind heart.

   Sometimes it takes a cat or another animal to melt a frozen heart, sometimes it's the cold snowy weather that brings out the hidden kindness in people, and sometimes a sprinkling of kindness can melt a path through a frozen landscape.
    But the thing is....that it doesn't stop there.
To find out more, read Where The Fox Goes, a tale of kindness at a time of hardship, of people sharing and of people standing up for their rights in a time of recession and oppression. This is Christian family fiction with a difference, non judgmental, compassionate and inclusive.

Christian fiction

It seems a long time ago, but it isn't so long. It was the late eighteenth, early nineteenth century and things were not well for many poor people.  The enclosures act had  forced many of them off the land, and into the cities or made them emigrate to America. They no longer had the right to gather firewood from the common and  even cooking their own food became a problem. Those places which had been theirs and their forefathers to roam and  live on, were no longer theirs.
In a few places, there were Christians who cared, who didn't want to see their fellow villagers ousted and reduced to poverty and then treated like criminals through no fault of their own... villagers often had to work as roundsmen to qualify for poor relief and the system was abused by the farmers and overseers.
One village where there were Christians who were prepared to help and who were in a position to do so, is the place I describe in Where The Fox Goes.
The first part of the story is set in the end of the last century, less than twenty years ago, when people discover that the same land is threatened by developers.  They love the wastelands, the woods and the allotments, but they are in the middle of a recession, jobs have gone and homes are on the line. What can they do?

Where Love is.

Hi, my name is June and I have written a book called Where The Fox Goes.  It's Christian  fiction, but it isn't a genre book.  My characters aren't all in happy marriages, for one couple it's a happy second relationship. This is about people where they are, not how things necessarily are, in an ideal world. It's a story about animals in a landscape and people in the same area, it goes backwards and forwards in time.
This landscape has been protected during the enclosures, and now it's under threat from developers. Whereas my first book is in print and has been bought by bookshops, this one is being sent out cheaply as as an audio book and pdf ebook. It has the hymn "Who would true valour see" in it.  The people need to protect their wastelands, the area of beauty and woodland they love to visit,  and maybe if they talk to each other and care, they can achieve more than they had hoped for.  It was written about an earlier time of recession, but it is a book for today.
If  you have a wood or a forest you care about, Sunday 20th March is world forest day. In Britain there will be demonstrations throughout the country organised by Save Our Forests campaign and people will be visiting their local forests and woods to make their position clear.  We are not out of the woods yet, the threat to our woodlands and forests is still there.  Frank Dobson M.P. in a letter to me, strongly urged attending a local event and making your voice heard.
