Doubly Amazing

With whimsy, inventive language, and playful rhyme, Doubly Amazing celebrates the remarkable talents of quadrupeds, winged creatures, and aquatic wonders.

Just a Slight Chance
When a local pub-going male working as a war photographer in Iraq submits a handwritten freedom of information request to a Borough Council, demanding the disclosure of ancient photographs produced before the invention of the camera, it immediately raises suspicions. Concerned about the potential distortion of history throughout the British Isles, the Westminster Government orders MI6 to seek out three UK citizens who possess credible psychic ability (unbeknown to themselves), an interest in history, and a fondness for pub-going and enjoying a tipple. Two of these individuals are to be from the market town in question, while the third can be from anywhere else in the country.

As the story unfolds, these unlikely heroes find themselves entangled in a web of mystery, psychic phenomena, and historical intrigue. Will they unravel the secrets hidden within the ancient photographs and protect the integrity of British history?
