Henge Saga "The Immortal Queen"
The Stonehenge Story: published 2024
Intro....
Astrologs, Aeon trees, god-marks and Chronologs will become familiar as you read the Henge Saga. Stonehenge itself was a great example of both an Astrolog (tracking the movements of the moon and stars across the night-time skies) and a Chronolog (the sunshine equivalent). Aeon trees? They don't take much guessing: both old and venerated. "The Immortal Queen" explores the lives of those who built the Sanctus (AKA Stonehenge).

I'm pleased to announce the publication of "The Immortal Queen", the first volume to be written in the Henge Saga. If the gods stay with me then other volumes will follow. At the moment, 'The Immortal Queen' is the main subject of this website. It stands as a novel in its own right, though foolishly, I labelled it Part 2 in the printing process. Please see the next page for more detail.

The author
A septuagenarian with a passion for pre-history.
This series of novels was prompted by touring Neolithic sites and by a fascination with exhibits in Salisbury Museum. There are so many stories to be written about the times when history was passed down orally and when mastery of flint & stone was the key to life; Henge Saga touches on a few.

Date Stamp
The Neolithic period covers a significant timespan. Geographically there are known stone age archaeological sites throughout current-day Europe and considerably beyond.
Henge Saga deals mainly with Britain and Brittany focussing on Wessex, its iconic Henges, and the people who built or used them around 4,500BC.
Social Media
Until recently I have always been quite a private person, a consequence of which is that I have very little presence on Social Media. Slowly, very slowly I'm learning about website building and the process of book promotion. As yet there is no 'subscribe to emails' section or space to leave comments/reviews. However, I'd love to hear from you and can be contacted via louiscjhirst @ gmail.com
