The Wine’s Anvil novels

Wine’s Anvil novels are inspired by work in our family vineyard. These character-driven tales also reflect the grapevine’s struggle and journey through time.

Ancient Greece, Rome, Iberia, Gaul. The Court of Charlemagne to the Court of Louis the XIII. All these are different settings framed by the immortal vines and explored by their mortal vignerons.
