I see Lolfa will be publishing a novel of Radnorshire interest this summer based on the life of Gwenllian the daughter of Owain Glyndwr. Gwenllian and her family lived at Cenarth in the parish of St Harmon.
The selling pitch on the Lolfa site mentions that the book may be of interest to those who speculate about Owain's burial site. This is usually thought to be in Herefordshire near the home of his daughter Alys Scudamore. When you think about it St Harmon would have been a better bet, especially if, as some believe, Gwenllian's husband Philip ap Rhys was such a diehard that he continued to fight on, even after the surrender of Owain's son Maredudd in 1421.

Link is broken for me - looks like it has a session ID attached to it - try this: http://www.gwales.com/bibliographic/?isbn=9781847713315&lang=EN
Cheers
Just found that you can now buy the novel from Y Lolfa's website (www.ylolfa.com), and am sure it's available on the Gwales site (www.gwales.com) also.
