  Cobwebs of Pearl

  (The Occasion Mists – Hint 4)

  Imprisoned; no one can feel your pains but you!

  Heart, an ancient city that holds the occupants of descendents of Earth and Alien beasts, is on a constant vigil, always watching for signs of an alien invasion. Brought together as a group, and whose ‘soul’ purpose is to protect the Earth itself, the dwellers of Heart are only slightly suspicious about an inward bound comet heading towards the Earth from a dark region of the Kuiper Belt.

  As a precaution, one of the dwellers of Heart is dispatched to Earth to check up on the arrival of the comet. However, because they expect no trouble, the Heart Dweller is expected to use their time on Earth as a holiday; a chance to familiarise themselves with current affairs, styles, and language, should they need to work covertly on the Earth in the near future.

  No sooner has the Heart Dweller arrived on Earth when any idea of a holiday is forgotten. A huge spider stalks the cities of Earth, living on fresh human prey, whilst seeking out pieces of rock that have fallen from outer space.

  Wherever the spider goes, then so does its humanoid captive, a powerful visitor from Heart whose own mighty powers have been quelled by the new powers and intelligence of the mutated spider.

  The spider keeps the captive alive only because, with the right kind of union, the spider could benefit from the powers of the visitor from Heart and, combined with the powers from the strange comet fragments, the spider could rise to be the most intelligent and powerful evil to have walked the Earth.

  Two forms of intelligence are in a battle to the bitter end; an end which might leave one of them still alive, or maybe none.

  Unicorn Sacrifices

  (The Occasion Mists – Hint 5)

  Three lives sacrificed so that an old world can have a second chance.

  The unicorns had the best of reasons for not taking refuge in the Ark. The sacrifice would have been unbearable, even more so than the sacrifices to come. They had a destiny with a fate not of their choosing but held on to a promise of hope for survival. In a race to keep above the rising waters a temporary sanctuary is found but, unknown to the unicorns, this place of safety is a pathway to a new land that will have them confront their greatest fear; the loss of a loved one.

  With a destiny to be fulfilled, a young unicorn must make a journey to a place called Essilon but there is the ever-present evil of the humans who are seeking out all beasts and destroying them. Essilon is to be the final stand of the beasts against the rampaging humans.

  The unicorn finds that the struggle to reach the place is a battle in itself, but he is not alone in believing his destiny lies in reaching Essilon before the final battle commences. Why, he has no idea - his companions seem to know more about him than he does himself. If the young Unicorn can reach Essilon, will he, as he hopes, be reunited with his parents, or will he never learn their fate? And if he does survive, what then? That will not be the end, but merely the beginning...

  This story is a more adult version of ‘Unicorn - Journey Beyond Forever,’ and has scenes which are more directly linked to other books in the series. This version also has extended scenes and complete new scenes that are not included within ‘Unicorn - Journey Beyond Forever.’

  This book is a chance to revisit ‘Unicorn’ but it has much more to show you than the original story. For example, you will see the thought process's from the point of view of others in various scenes. It is intended to be read after 'Cobwebs of Pearl.'

  Discover something more of the secret past of Chart and Brand. Find out what really happened during Laranki and Soreecilor's journey toward the Ark when they encountered the dragons. Find out the truth about an incident that is only hinted at by Shane in the story 'Unicorn' and wonder what was the purpose of the alien in being there… and more…

  The Little’s Voyage

  (The Occasion Mists – Hint 6)

  In Space, no one can hear you chuckle!

  From Spider Heaven to the Elfain Village is only a small journey when compared to the voyage that four familiar friends will embark upon as they go to seek out the source of the evil that was Chagga Toombe.

  A strange alien race, called the Transloovians, work and toil within the honeycomb chambers of a dead moon, seeking out a precious material whilst trying not to fall prey to either the Grimshankles or to alien attack ships.

  The Strange Invaders have another plan in which they hope to attack the Earth and wipe out mankind, leaving the planet empty and ready for them to colonize and this time it looks as though they will succeed. That is, unless a boy named Danny, a Seagull called Bongo Wiggins, a spider who was just settling into the after-life, and a bee who thinks he’s John Wayne, can all come up with a plan to defeat the aliens before they launch their attack on the Earth.

  Leaving Earth on a very special type of spacecraft, the four friends will embark upon a journey from which only three will return. The stakes are high and Danny begins to see just how deadly the enemy of Earth really is. For the first time he is going to feel the loss of a close one, for the first time he is going to realise that he is going to have to grow up and leave his innocent childhood behind.

  Within the Heart of Time – Part 1 - Unknowing

  (The Occasion Mists – Hint 7)

  Sometimes fun and love are all you need; sometimes it’s lies!

  On a mission to save the Earth, Flack has no idea of who he is, what he is, or how he got here and yet, somehow, he must put together the pieces of a puzzle he does not know exists and, if he fails, then so too does the Earth!

  Awaking, as if for the first time, Flack discovers that he has more powers at his disposal than the rest of humanity and, for a while, it is ‘fun’ to play with these powers but it does not take long for the real reason of his being there being revealed to him.

  Assisted by strange visions of a unicorn with cryptic messages, Flack soon realizes just how deadly his situation is.

  He has an unknown mission with an unknown outcome and his own fate, and the fate of humanity, rests solely on him working out the puzzles and dealing with a deadly enemy.

  The time for fun and games has to stop; the time for action has arrived.

  Arthurian Time Crisis – Part 1 - Magician

  (The Occasion Mists – Hint 8)

  Time For Love And A Love For Time

  Flack and Ashley are trapped in the time of King Arthur and Merlin, where they have both inherited disabilities that will affect their chances of survival and which also renders then being unable to communicate with each other.

  And so, not able to join forces, each has to find their own allies as they prepare to face the alien invaders who are controlling armies and destroying all those who are found to be able to use magic in these medieval times.

  The Occasion Mists

  (The Occasion Mists – Final Hint, Part 1)

  Set in the afterlife, this is the story of a soul; a soul on a journey to find the true meaning of life. Ormi-Sarm is that soul and the afterlife holds many surprises. Won’t Ormi-Sarm be a little bit annoyed to discover that he is .....?

  Enduring punishments for crimes committed as a mortal, Ormi-Sarm can do nothing except experience those retributions; and God can do nothing but hope that he will, eventually, see the true meaning of life.

  Delivered primarily with speeches, and interlaced with poetry, short-stories, and occasional humour, ‘The Occasion Mists’ might take you on an expedition of yourself. Ideas are put forward in this book which the reader may agree with or reject but, in the end, it will always be the reade
r who makes his own decisions; after all, it is their own life.

  Do you want to know what ‘astrology’ really is? Or do you want to know the reason why people ‘Spontaneously Human Combust?’ If you do, then this book could answer many questions and provide you with many more; even help you find new ideas.

  The pages are meant to be scribbled upon and to make notes; haven’t you always wanted a book that you could scribble in? Look closely at the text; there are many puzzles in this book, and it will take a keen eye and mind to find them all. The first reading will not be easy, but there are secrets to be found and subsequent reading will surrender more. Any doubts about this book… then place it back upon the shelf where it can await another.
