p.d.r. lindsay (no capitals please in tribute to a favourite poet, e. e. cummings) makes New Zealand home. Born in Ireland, brought up in Yorkshire, educated in England, Canada and New Zealand, writer p.d.r. lindsay is also Mrs Salmon, Ms Lindsay-Salmon and even for eight years in Japan, Professor Lindsay-Salmon. This wide experience of different cultures colours her writing and keeps her travelling.
Social issues are her main concern which is why she writes historical stories about ordinary people, the ones whose names and lives we don't know much about. Reading the diaries and letters of parsons and farmers, wives and daughters, merchants and tradesmen showed her how the basic human dilemmas do not change over the centuries. She finds that certain human trait both good and bad, can be better shown through historical stories than through contemporary ones and hopes that readers will think about those failings as they apply to today.
No one wants war, but Jacob Emerick can see it coming. The King won't bend, the Puritans keep pushing, religion and politics are a dangerous mix. Jacob intends to keep his skin whole but is going to have take some risks.
Jacob's family are Merchant shippers and it's up to Jacob, their legal man, to save them from Puritans who want their ships out of the King's hands. Of course the King wants the ships and will award anyone who gets them for him. Jacob knows that if their loan is called in they'll lose the ships and their money. He has to prevent it, keep the ships out of the way of either party, and his head out of a noose.The King's people play very rough, murder is their game.
