A Dark Wind
By Celia M Gunn

Drawn by the faint, meandering sound of a Native North American flute from deep in misty English woodland, Kathy, a young bank-clerk in a northern provincial town, discovers Joe, a middle-aged Navajo Indian with a life-hardened experience of failed marriages and addictions. Their unlikely meeting, challenging both age and culture, kindles an edgy yet mutual passion, entwined with the acting-out of a contemporary Arthurian drama set against a wild Northumbrian landscape of myth and legend, leading to fateful consequences for both their lives.
