À propos de cet e-book

Cherry and her family barely survived their first confrontation with Macadamian Pliers. Now, alongside crazy brother Frank and friend-with-a-reputation Jack, they must figure out how the clean up the mess that evil man left behind. Cherry's determined to help her friend Grace clear her new home of its haunting, was certain that with her ghost dogs at her side it would be easy, but a month has passed and the troubles continue. Perhaps she should admit the truth: she simply isn't skilled or strong enough, and the defeat of their enemy was a fluke.

Macadamian is far from done, however. What the Raines have experienced was merely the first act. He's been busy for a long time, and there are more spirits in Emmet's Peak than any of them suspect... but they're about to find out.

Part horror, part thriller, the action escalates in the next chapter of Macadamian Pliers terrible plan both in the past and the present. Timelines collide as in 1984 Mac meets the man who will forever change the course of his life, and in the now Cherry discovers there are far more powers awaiting if she can learn to let go.

À propos de l'auteur

Prologue : My parents met. (Prologues are never much use.)


Chapter One: I am born. The world blinks.


Chapter Two: I toddle. I am introduced to the works of Richard Scarry. The illustrations burn themselves into my tiny mind. This is followed by an intense interest in Winnie the Pooh and the Radio Times.


Chapter Three: Beanos and Dandys and tape recorders enter my life. I read the comic strips aloud, record these performances. Leads to writing my own stories, which are mostly about spaceships or murderous snakes.


Chapter Four: Santa brings a Commodore 64. Writing is forgotten.


Chapter Five: Teenage nerdism strikes. Dragonlance Chronicles are read. An attempt is made to copy them. Results are dreadful.


Chapter Six: Off to university to study ancient history and archaeology. Hat and whip not received. Compaints about this are ignored. University mostly a waste of time, apart from hours spent writing apocalyptic horror-comedy on 386 PC. It’s great.


Chapter Seven: Apocalyptic horror-comedy sent out to literary agents. None are interested. Novel not great. Mostly a waste of time.


Chapter Eight: A long period filled with much writing and many submissions and plenty of rejection letters. Decide I can’t stand prologues as they’re never much use.


Chapter Nine: Short stories accepted by Polluto, Voluted Tales and Kzine. Prompts a vigorous interest in Kindle Direct Publishing. First release is Macadamian Pliers, YA horror with an emphasis on creepy, spooky and other ooky things.
