Jan Fortune is the founding editor of Cinnamon Press and runs the blog, Becoming A Different Story, to provide online courses and a community space for writers exploring creativity and the writing life. In addition to working as an editor and publisher she leads writing workshops and resdentials and has published several novels, poetry collections and a major book on writing and the writing life. She lives in a small hamlet in an ancient forest.
In this prequel to The Standing Ground, we travel back two generations to the origins of the oppressive E-Government state that infiltrates every aspect of people's lives in the decade following Brexit and a global pandemic. But, as the darkness overtakes Britain and other areas of Europe, the light of resistance wakes in a community that spans the Celtic outposts of Brittany and North Wales. And in a strange child, Myrddin Emrys, also known as Merlin.Weaving together Arthurian legend and exploratory fiction of the near future, The Roots of the Ground explores the human cost of a monoculture that tramples freedom and privacy and asserts with Carl Jung that:'As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.'
