Description

<h2>Taliesin Weaver thought that he had saved himself and his friends when he defeated the witch Ceridwen. He was wrong.</h2><h3><i>He always thought of evil as embodied in external threats that he could overcome in combat. Soon he will discover that the worst evil has been inside of him all along....</i></h3><p>Tal’s girlfriend is in a coma for which he holds himself responsible. A close friend, suffering from a past-life memory trauma similar to Tal's, is getting worse, not better. Morgan Le Fay is still lurking around and has an agenda Tal can’t figure out. Supernatural interruptions in his life are becoming more frequent, not less so, despite his expectations. In fact, Tal learns that something about his unique nature amplifies otherworldly forces in ways he never imagined were possible, ways that place at risk everyone close to him.</p><p>Tal and his allies must face everything from dead armies to dragons. As soon as they overcome one menace, another one is waiting for them. More people are depending on Tal than ever; he carries burdens few adults could face, let alone a sixteen-year-old like himself. Yet somehow Tal at first manages to handle everything the universe throws at him.</p><p>What Tal can’t handle is the discovery that a best friend, almost a brother, betrayed him, damaging Tal’s life beyond repair. For the first time, Tal feels a darkness within him, a darkness which he can only barely control...assuming he wants to. He’s no longer sure. Maybe there is something to be said for revenge, and even more to be said for taking what he wants. After all, he has the power...</p><p> </p><h2><u>Can Tal stop himself before he destroys everyone he has sworn he will protect? Scroll up to buy a copy and find out!</u></h2>

Story Behind The Book

The story is aimed mainly at children but adults and cat lovers should also enjoy the tale. Bernie is a young cat and the story is about his adventures as he attempts return home to Scotland from Bergen, Norway. Bernie does exist. You might want to look at our website to see this stunning cat. Anyway,as cat breeders (it's a hobby),we sold him as a kitten to a breeder and shower in Bergen, Norway. Anyone who loves cats knows that every now and then you encounter a cat of character and charm who captures your heart. From the beginning Bernie was one of those cats. He was and still is an amazing character and has a coat with the feel of a teddybear and the most beautiful of eyes. We were upset when he left for Bergen and we even flew across to Bergen to visit him some months later. We wondered what would happen if he missed us as much as we missed him and whether he would ever want to return home to Scotland. So that idea became the basis of the story. As owners and breeders of a number of cats, (we currently own 10)I felt that I could create an authentic and exciting story for the reader. The book and the stories within it are grounded in experience or real life events again giving an authentic feel. The opening chapter at the cat show in Bergen is an example and, yes, I did drop a cat, a Persian if I remember correctly as he was about to be judged. The TV advert referred to does exist as does the setting for each of Bernie's encounters. The three clouds sequence is also based on my experience but you will have ask me about that one. The stories themselves are fun, engaging and exciting. Bernie's journey allowed me to weave together various little stories I have told to my children and grandchildren. The ending provides a cliffhanger and is as unexpected as it is dramatic. Finally, two of our cats died recently so the book is also in memory to both of them. I hope you enjoy the sample and I hope to publish soon. I'll leave you with one of the comments received by a reader. The coment is edited otherwise it spoils the ending. 'Just finished your book and I'm crying my eyes out. It's wonderful I started howlin' when Bernie...... and I'm still sobbing. Don't know what else to say'

This is a fast paced, wonderfully written adventure story of one little show cat and his travels. It has everything one could want from villains, vampires, and stormy seas to little girls and purrs galore. I just loved it, and I will would read it out loud to my grandchildren, if only I had some.I finished the book last night.
