On her 13th birthday Maia, who has been brought up by Tareth, the weaver and warrior who she has always believed is her father, falls into an adventure that will take her on a perilous journey to a kingdom poisoned by bitterness and jealousies. A kingdom that she must save. Tareth is no ordinary weaver - the silk he weaves sings of destiny and danger, of Maia's future. Because she is no ordinary girl either. She has always been the flame-headed outsider among the Cliff Dwellers, but she doesn't want to listen to the song of the silk, or to the terrifying words of the village Watcher. Guarding her secret, denying her future, Maia steps into places she has never explored where she'll encounter mercenaries, spies, friends and enemies. And where she will face her destiny as a Sun Catcher.
Exotically located in the Far East in an age when trading and communities were gaining more exposure to a wider world than ever before, this debut novel is beautifully, richly written, thoroughly researched and a pleasure to read. Film rights for the trilogy have now been optioned.

Sheila grew up by the sea, which is probably why Maia's adventures in Sun Catcher start among cliff dwellers, wholive at the edge of the ocean. She started writing Sun Catcher when studying for an MA at Bath Spa University and won the United Agents' Prize for the most promising writer on the course in her final year.
When she's not thinking about Maia's adventures, she works with dyslexic pupils in a mainstream comprehensive.
She is currently writing the second book in the trilogy, Storm Chaser.

'It grows colder in the darkness. Just as the land grows cold in the dark of wolf-walk . . .'
Maia, flame-headed daughter of the silk Weaver, has always been an outsider, and when darkness threatens her cliff-top village, she's swept up in a quest.
But who should she trust? Is Tareth her father or keeper of secrets? Is Razek the weed-boy she has known for years, or Storm Chaser? Kodo, Lizard Boy or Untouchable? Is Elin sister or sorceress?
All the while the silk sings of her destiny, and Maia learns that though the sun's fire may be dangerous . . . so is she.
