Interpreting Dreams

“It is untypical that I am able to reveal myself to you. From the previous types of dreams I’ve stated, this isn’t any of them. This is something else entirely. I’m not sure what to call it exactly, but anyway, I’m here to help. Here to help you get to the bottom of your dreams.”

Dreams, nightmares, memories... they all hold hidden meanings that we do not fully understand because we never bother to interpret. This is a story about loss... a story about holding on to the past. It is about the importance of letting go and moving forward, and it is a wild and mysterious journey through a man’s subconscious. A man who is lost in life and can only find his way back through reliving his dreams, nightmares, and memories. Stuck in a dream state, trapped in his subconscious, Noah Taylor has only one way out... Interpreting Dreams.

Into the Eververse: 1-13

The world that you live in works in mysterious ways, but what if you were told that your world was just one of many? In an alternate dimension, a young girl with extraordinary abilities is destined for greatness. Alice Evelynn is on a journey of a lifetime to stop the apocalypse from destroying the world as we know it. On the way, she will meet friends, allies and, of course, dastardly enemies. The only problem that Alice has is that she has no idea whatsoever that any of this is going to happen. So, like her, you shall be given a warning before you read this book.

The things that happen in Alice’s life are not for the light-hearted. It is blood, guts and gore galore full of murders. Beheadings, rotting corpses and some of the most colourful language that you may ever read. So, as you read the book in your hands, don’t say that we didn’t warn you.

Introspection

Grief, loneliness and sadness have never been easy for me to express and unfortunately, I’ve had many reasons to in recent years. However, through writing poetry, I discovered a method to explore my emotions by depicting small worlds and smaller characters that capture how I feel. By placing myself in these fictional spaces I was able to look further inward and pay the cost of coming to terms with my identity.

Through introspection you may learn a lot about yourself, but there also is a danger of looking too deep and losing yourself along the way. This is the journey I started on a long time ago and I have yet to see how it ends.

What was once, shall rise again to claim back its throne, setting a new challenge for the inhabitants of the West, but for itself as well.

iParadox

Imagine building a device that could send a fully functioning facsimile of your own self into the past. You would put right some of the things you got wrong, wouldn’t you! Nothing could go wrong, could it? You couldn’t make things worse, could you? You could just use it for sightseeing maybe. See first-hand history being made. You would be a bystander having no effect on history so no danger there then. Oh but wait, do all plans turn out right? What if it all goes wrong? What do you do? Go back again to put it right? This could get complicated and very messy. What if the device becomes smart, very smart and decides that it wants to go its own way? It would have no use for you anymore, would it? This could become sinister. It could pose real danger to your health and welfare. It could even start a war…

Isaac Montgomery for the Love of Beth – The Trilogy

The story is about a man’s search for love, barren of emotions from almost a parentless childhood to never feeling wanted from such an early age, to his life becoming a successful stock broker with international acclaim, to finding out his heritage to the Van Horn dynasty, a house of money, to realising love in his life to becoming a slave to money and a company that would not set him free. A trilogy of many parts murder, deceit, deception, romance, and family betrayal, revenge, hope and despair. Read as this book twists and winds to a dramatic conclusion. A man’s journey to find happiness plagued by misfortune and a temptation that stalks him to despair and intrigue over the decades to an eventual climax, a cliff hanger literally. Help from a guardian angel as life gives a helping hand. Will his curse be over once and for all, or begin again for Isaac Montgomery?

Isabella

Isabella is a novel of its time when life was hard and intimidating, often short and frequently brutal in the cause of making many rich men even richer on both sides of the Atlantic. Even so, there were more people willing to stand up to legislate for the cause in America just as happened in Great Britain 50 years earlier to help the oppressed escape to live a better life.

It is a story of love during the Civil War when unlikely people made individual efforts to play a part in overcoming slavery. The story alternates between gunrunning on the Eastern Seaboard, a rescued slave’s efforts to repay society in Boston and Canada and a wealthy young lady’s adventure up the Mississippi taking a young girl to Canada for safety and her involvement with the underground railway.

Isaiah’s Mountain

May 1901. Jo stands alone, ready to meet her fate, as British soldiers come thundering up the dusty track of her farm. She has not raised a white flag, it is pointless; the British are burning homesteads to the ground. Choked by the acrid smell of farmlands and livestock, blazing in the valley, Jo struggles to find her voice and the words she needs to save her home.

A strange twist of events transports Jo back to a time when, as a young teacher in the tiny Karoo town of Kweek Valley, she was drawn into the troubled world of a boy named Lukas Bester. A time past when nothing was as simple as it seemed and the truth lay silent and festering beneath the surface of the pious community. A time when she was Joanna Shepherd, an entirely different person…

If she is to survive, Jo has to find the words which uncover the truth as she navigates her way through grief, betrayal and the violence of war.

Island Hearts

Claire Wynter returns to the U.S. from a successful search for her missing grandmother in Jamaica, where Karl Grayson from the island’s well-to-do class, descendants of English settlers, had taken an interest in her while helping her in the search. Claire brings back with her the memory of their nascent romance and her promise to return to Karl soon. But she also brings back the words from Karl’s mother who expressed the fear that her grandchildren would be dark. Claire is deeply hurt by the racial slur and decides to give Karl Grayson and his family a wide berth. Setting aside her promise to return to him soon, she resumes her satisfying life as communications director at a university and immerses herself in her work. But when her close friend develops what seems to be a promising relationship, Claire has second thoughts and is stirred to revive her near-romance with Karl. She makes a call to the island, connects with him, and life for her takes a dramatic turn. Island Hearts is a piece of Christian fiction that exposes racial bias and pride of place, and reveals the virtues of faith and devotion.

It Is What It Is

It is never that simple, life is full of complications, and society cannot dictate the rules we live by. Sometimes it is required of Frank to step up, and step outside these rules that society has created and that measures into his own hands. He is not a vigilante, that would be such a disregard to what he truly is and has become. No, Frank is a whole different animal altogether, and he shares this life, unexpectedly with people that cross his path. Why they are allowed to live is beyond Frank. Maybe amidst all the carnage the simplicity of humanity can still touch even him.

It Was Almost Perfect

Dublin, a cosmopolitan city full of beautiful streets with secrets hidden around every corner. This book follows the lives of four women who, despite different backgrounds and social circles, are connected by the same desire for love and fulfilment. This dynamic cast of characters embarks on a journey of self-discovery triggered by chance encounters which will change their lives forever. These random encounters add additional layers to the magical realism in this story of discovery, lust, love, pain, and forgiveness that helps not just the characters in the book, but the reader too, see the “happily ever after” from a different perspective.

It's About the Living

Every reader becomes a part of this story. Charles Benford is a very ordinary man who finds himself called upon to make the kind of choices he is not equipped to make, choices that nobody should ever have to make.

Read it and perhaps think how you would have done things better or just differently given the time scales involved. Or become one of any number of the people who occupy the centre stage of the book for a chapter or two. Perhaps it is a memorable character; someone easy to recognise as part of ourselves or someone we know. Experience their fears and emotions as they flit across the pages, enduring pain, grief and, for some, death. For others, there is a huge feeling of guilt, mixed oddly with love and happiness.

This book will leave you intrigued and will make you want answers. But most of all, it will make you think.
