Emergence - Book One of the Alicorn Quest
In a bygone age, India’s forests whispered tales of unicorns.
The magic nestled within their spiralled horns was legendary, with villagers weaving tales of its mesmerizing properties. But these stories also painted targets on the creatures. Driven by greed, hunters came in droves, seeking the power in those horns. With every stolen horn, they boasted their conquests, leaving a trail of slain unicorns and bystanders in their wake. Darkness soon descended upon the forest, and the once-celebrated unicorns faded into myths.
Yet hope endured through ancient prophecies predicting the unicorns’ return. Symbols of their resurgence – a golden seven-pointed star and a bangle adorned with horse and unicorn carvings – were foretold to re-emerge. And in November 1861, these artifacts surfaced from the ocean’s depths, heralding the start of The Alicorn Quest.
This epic journey follows a young Indian adventurer’s quest to an unfamiliar Oregon, where destiny awaits in the form of a unique colt. As adversaries thwart his path, this colt, unaware of his future, grazes in Oregon’s

End Of Times
End of Times emanates from a voice from another time, in fact, the end of time. It tells an epic story over hundreds of years in classic science fiction fashion, which encompasses religious beliefs, potential dystopian futures, space, and time travel, and addresses eternal questions such as who we are, what is our purpose, what do we want, what is good and evil, is there a god and so on. It offers the reader a rollercoaster ride which expands to different time zones and multiverses, and it examines what reality actually is. Is there hope for humankind? Is there a connected plan to life, and if so, what is it? End of Times takes the reader on a compelling journey which begins with one single disembodied voice from the end of time. I listened to it, and this is its story.

Enter Others
Enter Others is a sequel to Enter Spice. The endearing characters of the novel are Toby (an Irish Wolfhound), Roxy (a Boxer), Princess (a Labrador), and Curly (a Poodle).
Their ‘coming out’, or revealing their talents, is through a television interview with an annoying interviewer who doesn’t like dogs, but the four dogs ‘get the better of him’.
They receive great praise from preventing the robbery attempts of two criminals, from rescuing trapped miners in a collapsed shaft in a coal mine, and from proving themselves to be extraordinary at a number of sports.
When Princess is injured by bullies, Toby and Roxy seek revenge, but at the last moment they decide that doing so would make them no better than the bullies themselves.
They begin to help people who are not as fortunate as others (the old, the disabled and prisoners), and learn an important lesson from Private, a homeless man who is not what he appears to be.
They are approached to be superheroes in an action movie, but the venture has a comical result, and teaches the dogs another lesson.
The conclusion to the ‘dog trilogy’ is a heart-warming ending to the growing status of dogs.

Like Donegal, she makes a very different announcement that has implications for the whole Ellis family.
This heart-warming novel underlines the significance of animals (dogs in particular), demonstrates the value of all living things, indicates ways in which we can help one another, and asserts the triumph of goodness over evil.
