Overview

Cocooned in the indulgences of the Yamato Court, Empress Himiko is suddenly thrown into the war environment, where she has to mature fast to lead an army into battle to honour the name of her deceased husband, her country and her unborn child. The prophecy of the sword she has inherited from her mother foretells a gruesome event to its guardian; but after the storm, a life of achievements and glory. But how can she surmount her predicament when she goes into labour in the middle of a battlefield?

About the Author

I’m a Historical Fiction Author. My family hails from the Land of the Rising Sun, though, I am based in the UK, where I have lived for the past twenty years. I am an Economics graduate and have worked for over twenty years in finance and IT. I have lived in four countries – UK, Switzerland, Japan & Brazil. Am I blessed? Yes, I believe I am. Acquiring the knowledge of different cultures and customs made me a better person. I believe that ignorance is the root of bigotry and tradition is the living treasure of peoples’ history and heritage. Every country has a history that is compelling, every culture carries a unique heritage and they deserve to be respected. History is my passion. My bookshelves (and kindle) are stuffed with historical books and historical fiction novels. I love travelling too. I travel around the world (workload permitting) and my destinations are usually chosen after I finish reading an absorbing historical (fiction or non fiction) book.  I started writing when I was a child and continued through adulthood. After many trials and errors, I believe I made my narratives good enough to share them with other people. Yet reading and writing helped me to deal with problems at difficult times. One can call it escapism, but reading or writing words can never become a harmful addiction.  I wrote “The Goddesses of Japan” in memory of my late father. When I was seven years old, he used to read the stories of the Creation and Ancient Japan to me at bed times and I got hooked to them. I hope my readers enjoy reading my books, as much as I enjoy writing them.
