Set in the mythical village of Watersmeet, in post-Medieval Britain, two dramatic stories unfold. Allhan travels through a vast forest, and returns to the civilised world he once knew. Changed and disorientated by his experiences, he struggles to regain his memory. He meets Elgiva, a young woman desperate to escape her life as a farmer's daughter. Can they forge a new life together? Interwoven is the story of twin brothers Alaric and Alsoph Cooper, growing up in the village of Watersmeet. As young men, their polarised natures come to exert an extraordinary influence on the local community. As events come to a passionate and violent climax, consequences of past actions suddenly take root in the present and there are devastating choices to be made. Connected yet separate, the characters in Where Waters Meet journey through time and landscape, to create a mystery that will enchant and haunt.A novel that blends reality with myth, folk tale with history introducing the reader to a new "re-enchantment " genre.

Franks, John: - "John Franks was born in Nottingham in 1960, and had the kind of childhood most boys only dream of - climbing rocks, building campfires, making cannons fuelled by gunpowder from fireworks, falling off bikes, and generally doing stupid and dangerous things that now seem to have been lost from childhood forever. During his four years at Art College studying sculpture, John not only had a great time being an adult without the responsibilities, but it was also the time he shed atheism, and met and married his wife Elaine. Employment came as a shock, and six years working in a rural community for the mentally handicapped was tough. After that John 'fell' into bookselling and stayed in it for seventeen years, working up from part-time 'un-packer' to senior company level positions. After leaving bookselling in 2007, John joined a charity that helps people escape the blight of debt, running their operations team. John turned to writing seriously in his twenties. In his own words, his early attempts 'should all be burnt', but in the late eighties, he started a short story that proved to be the genesis of Where Waters Meet. After twenty plus years, and a number of re-writes, it has become his first published novel. John and Elaine live on a smallholding in Wales with their teenage son, horses, dogs, a cat and numerous chickens. As well as writing he plays drums and is teaching himself woodland management and hedge-laying."
