THE DAUGHTER HAS RISEN…

The four islands of the Shalmeir are falling into chaos. The world is under threat from a fallen deity intent on revenge and destruction. Only one can end these dark and difficult times – or so Salzahr’s Prophecy states, but prophecies without proof are no more than myth, and the so-called ‘Daughter of the Shalmeir’ is nowhere to be found.

When a lonely princess befriends a prisoner dwelling in the dungeons of her castle home, his remarkable story has the potential to reverse the Shalmeir’s fortunes irrevocably.

However, it is one thing to seek the truth and another to know it. Having acquired this revelatory knowledge, can she find the strength to accept and rise to all it implies?

Taxi to Broadway

“Hey, did anyone tell you look like James Dean!”

It happened once in a while. I had just lit a cigarette… (can’t resist the slice of ham). Drawing into myself; playing the dead actor behind the wheel, cigarette dangling loosely from my pouting lips; angry at life… scowling at the world!

Christy Jones was no James Dean, but he could proudly tell people in his taxi that he was an actor nonetheless. And driving wasn’t the only time he could play a character.

The author of this memoir found a passion for acting and made it to Stella Adler’s Academy for Theater in the early ’60s. But to make a decent living he drove a taxi across New York for six years. Christy never had an accident, though he had plenty of narrow escapes during his six years of driving. He preferred driving at night, so he could make the rounds of agents and producers during the day. But the streets can be treacherous... and dangerous. A cab only lasts a couple of years on New York City streets. After a long time spent dropping people off at their destinations, he finally arrived at his own: Broadway.

Taxi to Broadway is a story of fleeting conversations and adventurous nocturnal driving, but in the end, it is what all great stories should be – a tale about following your passions.

The basis for the stories is as a bedtime read, although it shouldn’t be restricted to only bedtime reading as they can be read at any time.

The stories are sequential, so they should be read from the beginning to the end as several characters are introduced during the various adventures. The central themes are rooted in what is around us and what may have occurred or happened in the past or present, including physical items that may have existed before. The idea is to ask questions and interact with the storytelling. The stories have the ‘cuddle factor’ so that adults reading to their children can enjoy the story as much as the children who are listening to it.
