World of Taroo: The Sabors

A rescue mission, an assassination attempt and the discovery of new incredible powers that lay within the magical stones.

The knight is about to step out when a horrible scream suddenly fills the cave room and the soldiers look around. The scream continues and it sounds like someone is in pain. The knight orders them to stand in line and be ready for combat. They don’t have to wait for long until they see something coming. A light is getting closer and so is the scream. The scream is so chilling that for the first time even the knight feels his hairs stand up on the neck. A woman, wearing almost nothing, with white shiny hair is walking towards them. The knight shouts to her to stop. Instead, she brings up her arms and the soldiers immediately bring up their shields. A strong wind suddenly flows within the room and seconds later a beam of ice streams out from her hands.

This is a story brought together by the complex mind of the writer who dreams and tries to offer others a glimpse of the world within him.

The Sapwood Tales

Join Lucy, Doe, and Colin on a wild adventure in the mysterious world of the Sapwoods, where we meet strange tribes-folk and cast special spells, explore old mines, and invent clever devices, and fight for our lives using only our wits and a rather large knobbly parsnip - and it all begins when we discover a rare amber gem with a magical Sprite trapped inside. We travel to a far-away town to seek help from a Great Magician, but when we get there, something happens, and everything changes!

Will Lucy swap the gem for a pair of funny gloves and a new pencil case? Will Doe hop about like a rabbit? And will Colin splat-a-duck with his new Three-Bolt-Catapult?

All these questions - and more! - will be answered in The Sapwood Tales – The Adventures of Lucy, Doe, and Colin, a story stuffed with dim-witted humour and a lot of giggling.

The Aulverse

One Hell of a Paradise…

Ahh, the Aulverse, a world of wonder and anarchy, of entitlement and squalor; two sides to a very specific coin – the coin of this hellish paradise. Heads, and you might find yourself amongst the royals of the Kingdom of Bovidae; with their fancy horns and proper mannerisms, all groomed beyond perfection with silver spoons crammed so far inside their mouths it’s a wonder they can even breathe. Tails though, and you might find yourself in the slums of the Aphid Tunnels, surrounded by equally as oppressed insectoids, all born into slavery with no hope for freedom. Some have been known to find graces in their ill fate, just as others have gambled away their luck, life in the Aulverse however, just as any life, is what you make of it, so why not turn your back on the chain gang and the ivory towers? Why not venture out into No Man’s Land and peruse the diabolical Grisly Woods – really get that blood pumping? Who knows? You might even get to the bottom of the mysteries of this place, figure out why it is that one even finds themselves here, or how exactly, one might escape.

Silver Planet

Death is no longer a mystery.
The magic of eternity has been found.

I often hear people wondering if life carries on after death. It always makes me smile. That’s exactly what happens.

And I used to think no one would discover the truth while they were alive. I was wrong. A sixteen-year-old boy just did. His name is Jonathan Powers and this is his story.

Jonathan’s from a planet called Centurian, but that’s not where his story begins. It begins on Earth with the tragic death of a boy from London, Jonathan Prior.

Jonathan Prior’s soul travelled from Earth to Centurian and became part of Jonathan Powers. That much is as it should be. Humans join the consciousness of other humans on a distant planet when they die.

It’s what happened next that I don’t understand. Jonathan Powers entered the world of the dead, alive.

I’m still searching for answers to how he did it and I’m supposed to know about these things. My name is Rose. I’m a little robin. You might have met me outside your house or in a local park.

Don’t worry if you haven’t, you’ll meet me inside this book. I’m helping Jonathan find a way home. It’s one thing to go where only the dead have been, quite another to find a way back.
