She's Back!
As Philobrach Hohemheim and his companions relax after their adventures recounted in An Extraordinary Tale, they receive an urgent message. The Sorceress Carmine, The Red Mage, has returned to their world. What mischief does she plan this time?
Soon, the Gnome, Bones the skeleton, Hugo the Ogre and a brave mouse called Mortimer, find themselves on a quest that takes them across both land and ocean, into the moon, and through it to another universe. They discover that their own world is in danger of fading away, unless they can find enough electrum to re-start magic!
Autorentext
I was born and brought up in Cardiff and now, retired, have returned to Wales to live in Monmouth. In between, I spent my career teaching Chemistry and a bit of Physics, and writing "educational materials", and doing other things such as fencing and choral singing, in various parts of southern England.Science Fiction has been a pleasure all my life; the variety of sub-genres and range of authors that I have read, amazingly varied. I have also been writing fiction since I was 10. Strangely, the first novel I had published by Elsewhen, happened to be more Fantasy than SF. The Evil Above the Stars trilogy contains science but it is pre-Copernican. The sequel, Cold Fire, is also Fantasy with a touch of C17th chemistry. An Extraordinary Tale was a step into more fantastical fantasy. I have completed my first SF novel, For Us, The Stars, a first-contact, futurist tale and I am hoping it will be deserving of publication. I have lots of ideas for stories and novels which just need time, effort, inspiration and skill, to develop. Since I was in my 20s, I have felt a conflict between my masculine and feminine traits. That has been resolved by adopting a non-binary/gender-fluid identity. I am relieved that I have been able to live openly and happily as such in my adopted town.Lou and I have now been married for 37 years and enjoy our shared life. We each have our own interests but enjoy doing things together which seems to be the remedy for a happy marriage and retirement. I have two step-children and four delightful grandchildren. I am grateful for having spent over seventy years on this planet and hope for quite a few more yet for Lou and I to enjoy and in which I can get more of my ideas written down (or tapped out on screen).
