Time Does Not Stop: An Adventurous Novel

Obnoxious Alex Mule was raised in lavish Royal Ludlet, known for its fame and fortune. Free-spirited Indiana was raised in desolate Lower Ludlet, known for its poverty and hardships. Neither have met one another until one fateful day on their joint seventeenth birthday, when they find themselves caught up in a top-secret prophecy dating back from before they were born.

They are given one mission: find a way out of their enchanted bonds by solving a mystical riddle while trying not to get killed by terrifying beasts and dangerous plants that have remained hidden from civilisation in Ludlet Forest. They have one week to crack the brainteaser or their lives as they know it will be changed forever.

A coming-of-age tale sees Alex and Indiana form the unlikeliest of connections as they try desperately to get away from each other and back to the happy simple lives they are used to.

While Madilla is learning the truth of her family’s faith, her abusive uncle is losing himself to the evils of the soldiers.

About the Author

In a past life, not so long ago, I spent my days laying pavers, building retaining walls and designing gardens. For large parts of each day, there was just me and Jono, looking for any conversation to kill the time as we traipsed back and forward doing the repetitive grunt work. Jono’s glorious brainchild was a book he intended to write entitled 101 Uses for Pavelok; the magical gap filling sand. From that first idea, we began solving many of life’s most pressing issues with appropriately themed books.

Several years passed, and through each twist and turn, it became increasingly obvious to me that I needed to start writing. In learning the art, I have written a number of short stories about whatever inspired me at the time, one such inspiration being The Empty Nested Dragon. The story draws on bits and pieces of a thousand conversations with Jono, and like most stories I write, I have no idea what it all means until I reach the final paragraph. That has been the most rewarding part of what I take from writing. Discovering that even the most nonsensical conversations can amount to something meaningful… to me, anyway.

The Threads of Retribution

After almost four decades, Amelia Grover receives the answer to a question she asked during her childhood; she does not remember it. It is a fulfilment of a promise made by Agrippina. Amelia must cross a series of thresholds. Dimensions bring predestination that Amelia must assume, forcing her to lose something precious.

Through Agrippina’s letter and Amelia’s tapestry, her memory tells this saga; about a house built on a white rock; first counting the sadness and happiness of the five generations that came to live in the house. Hidden are the reasons; a Mother and son must be born. They will be the descendants of a family chosen by destiny. Alondra and Kaspar Sabacio will arrive in this world with a predetermined and precise aim; to remove from the planet, its most severe scourge, religion.

That will not happen before the pieces of a message, lost during the long history of humanity, can go back to the human eyes, and thus be able to redeem the world.

Kaspar Sabacio will live a single life to the end. Throughout his journey, Kaspar wishes to be more human. Within him rages a constant battle between his human form, real essence, and purpose, especially his mother’s design. He questions his humanity and wishes to experiment with all human emotions.

This book brings reincarnations from the present, taking them to an unsuspected future. They are past living, and with them, they bring their guilt, liberation, becoming and the actions of all. The time of this story is indefinite.
