In 2019, the Britfield adventure began in England with its first book, “Britfield & the Lost Crown.” “Britfield & The Rise of the Lion,” the second installment of a planned seven-book young adult series, was released in the summer of 2021. The series follows the harrowing escapes, of which there are many, of Tom and Sarah, two teenage orphans on the run. Exactly who they are running from is what they are trying to figure out.

The first book places the reader inside Weatherly Orphanage, located in Yorkshire, the county in Northern England from where Tom and his best friend Sarah escape to London. From trains to hot air balloons, the two hold on to minute clues, garner helpful new friends, and avoid the police, orphanage employees, and hitmen as they try to make it to the big city to live in freedom.
