Story Behind The Book

Whilst sitting in my garden amongst the Shasta daisies one balmy summer evening, I idly watched a spider spinning a web. I was intrigued by the intricate structure, and ease of his accomplishment. As I watched, a storyline formed in my mind. Replenishing my glass of red wine I grabbed a note book and began making notes. My mind was racing, my fingers were loaded with words and I couldn’t get them down quick enough. Eventually I decided to record the notes on my trusty tape recorder. By the time I was half way through the bottle of red wine Shasta was born. I then realised there was a sequel lurking within me. Another character introduced himself as Erasmus a time travelling lover with attitude. My fingers helped him achieve his time travelling and within a year the trilogy was complete.

Reviews

Comment by George Polley, author of ‘The Old Man & The Monkey’ and ‘Grandfather and the Raven’:The Eye of Erasmus" is a tale gently and beautifully told. Like the Harry Potter novels, it is a book that readers of all ages will enjoy. It is definitely a book that I will read again and again (I have just ordered a copy). Comment by Christina Hall Volkoff, author of ‘Travels Through Love And Time’: It flows like a fairy tale; it operates on multiple levels of reality and unreality; it is a delightful fantasy that transports you into this world as if you had inhabited it already all your life. Comment from Stacey Danson, author of ‘Empty Chairs’: From the mother sitting bathing her feet in the cool water thinking of the sister so wrongfully hung, we have a sense that the as yet unborn seventh child is indeed special. A marvellous book that will grab and hold its readers. Comment from Andrew C. Wilson, author of ‘The Domino Effect’: You have a knack for keeping the reader wanting more. Comment from Liz Hoban, author of ‘The Cheech Room’: This is a compelling read that your readers will devour. My only complaint is I want more.
