Book 1 - The Hearts of Ellan Vannin Trilogy - The Songbird of Rushen Abbey

 

Behind The Scenes:

* The heroine, Estelle was given her mother's middle name. Her mother's full name was EMMANUELLE ESTELLE, "Star of Jesus" because she was born on Christmas Eve.

* See link for info on Rushen Abbey, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rushen_Abbey . Rushen Abbey was built circa 1134 to house the Cistercian order of monks. The Chronicles of the Kings of Mann and the Isles, and other important documents detailing medieval Manx history were written by the monks but destroyed when invaders pillaged in 1316. The abbey was an efficient, self-sustaining unit and architecturally impressive.
