Ava's Forest

About the Book

My story begins with two young boys, Joe and Dylan, who live in the same street. They share a magical wonderland with friends in the forest across the road at the end of the suburb. It has been their playground for generations. Their older brothers built a fort there and they protect it with their lives. Every day after school they venture to the fort to play, battle and hang out with friends. The fort is old and beaten but kept together with love and a few nails. It sits in a clearing just inside the forest. On one side the houses of suburbia with all the bells and whistles, lawns being mowed, cars zooming past and dads coming home from work and on the other side. A wall of giants. Trees of all shapes and sizes guarding the entrance to the untouched beauty across the street. The beloved forest with its trees lining the roadside and towering up over the housed that surround it. There in the middle of suburbia, an enchanted thick untouched forest. A thing of beauty. Taking up enough land to make eight suburban blocks. It has grown since the dawn of time like a living entity. It has magic that attracts the kids and in return the children made pledges to protect it at all costs.

Delirium

About the Book

A collection of short stories to make that of my idols Rod Serling and Ray Bradbury proud. Thirty stories of all genres including ghosts, witches, space and lots of strange phenomenon. All of these stories wrapped up in tales that can have a beginning and an end all in one night. Great bedtime reading. My stories are fun and exciting yet with a twist at every end. I have written about a man who’s haunted by a ghost on a deserted highway at night with a connection that will make you see why. A man who, every time he falls from a blow on an ancient battlefield, he awakes in a padded cell in the future, two people entwined by fate. There is a twisted tale of survival in a hole in the middle of nowhere and how the people stuck in there get themselves out. There is also a tale of an ancient relic that shows you what you should be doing. Given to the people for a cost to hold for just a minute to change their lives forever. A story about a mysterious life force no-one can look at or see into. A blur that grows by the day until a change comes that will transform everything we know. There are many stories, all different thrilling rides into the unknown to keep you thinking, what if? Genres include space, aliens, ghosts, witches, mind powers and ancient worlds among many more. I think this collection would make a great edition to library. I hope you enjoy reading this book.
