Our Future Selves
Imagine waking up inside someone else’s body, and in a different century. What would you do? How would the new world around you react to you? This is what happens all the time to Zak Emblin, an editor from 21st century Birmingham, UK, and Sarah Templeman, a prison service doctor from twenty second century New Palm Springs, USA, who are ‘reincarnaters’, connected across time by a shared soul.
Imagine you are a bright, young scientist, Carmen Fry, who stumbles across the truth behind reincarnation. All you need is a subject to prove your theory to the world, but you can’t find one. Until one day, when you are chatting online, you find Zak, and are immediately attracted to him.
This is the story of three people, caught in a love triangle, sharing a secret that no-one else will believe, that when we die we form a connection with a future self, who shares our reincarnated soul. A connection so strong that sometimes we can become that future person and they can become us. We can swap bodies across time.

odd ys e
Pronounced ‘ann iss e’, odd ys e tells of a journey through space and time of an ‘alien’ people that found their way to this world just over six thousand years ago; they called themselves ‘gann’. Being all killed in an unforeseen circumstance, they now survive in the afterlife where they have been interacting on a subconscious level with the humans of Earth in an attempt to find their way back to reality. This true story is told by kynn, a gann soul who found his way back to reality and now walks the Earth as a man named Brian. The words of ‘odd ys e’ have been written with purpose—a message left for kynn by kynn in the event he may read it somewhere in the future if reborn back into reality, hopefully speeding up an awareness of who, what and why he is. But when all is written and done, the only consideration one should put to memory is:
“Death is simply a doorway to the next life. All one has to know is what path one must travel, to retain consciousness of self.”

Masters of Life and Universe
Open provocative concepts, new challenges and new chances to swiftly exit the stone age of … today’s technology, the economy – by the way, global (cosmic) politics too – mind, and belief; do not take into consideration today’s already-old technologies and thoughts over 100 years old.
Super-fast cloning, self-replicating accelerator technology for urban, cosmological, and medical purposes; as salvage or hecatomb for an entire civilization, earth, and space.
Instant explosion speed of two-way (for macro and micro versions) development of cell, robotic mega towns for shaping our whole life, whole environment, whole planet, and whole universe; in harmony with natural cosmic technology – like a cell or big bang path of development – with needs of citizens, potentially providing support by mobile applications tools.
The book is a vision for a new definition of nature or for redefining of nature.
Really the mass self-replicating production on an unimaginable scale - not line but geometric progress productions (billion times billion more efficient) can give chance to cope or overhaul nature, take over initiative to make things matching or outperform nature structures and by the way... features like exceed limits of speed(of light) and...life.

Lorela: Dog Warriors
Lorela is a red planet…a dead planet! For several hundred years, the human colony of Lorela was thought to have been wiped out but they survived deep underground, out of sight of those who would use them. The lucky ones made it to the mines, locked in away from the harmful radiation. The unfortunate ones wept, surviving as best they could. Over time, the humans that were left breathing in polluted fetid air began to mutate. As the generations passed, all they knew were howls in the dark and the taste of flesh, bitten from that of those who howled with them.
Memphis Grimm was the first to step out to view a tortured landscape; his pack hounded by those who would consume them. Pack Grimm raced across the barren landscape, in search of sanctuary, freedom from the pack lands and a place they could call their own. None could have known how far this journey would take them, not even those who watched from a distance—far across the galaxy, amused at what crawled out from the darkness.£3.50 -
Jimbo's Assumption
Homo sapiens: development is deviating from projections. With 10 billion Earth-years of galactic experience, the Intelligence, the ethereal presence led by the Energy Masters, discerns something special in this complex creature and its accelerating scientific capabilities.
Their sub-processor and Earth project manager will surely explain. After 100,000 years with his client, the Homo sapiens, can 221 offer enlightenment?
Jimbo, a hesitant hero, knew that Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital, was a great place to grow up and study science. Summer, 1996: pleasingly unexceptional, with good friends in a wonderful city. The recent creation of Dolly the Sheep gave him vacation work, cataloguing mathematical models. Happy days. Until his sleep is interrupted by the nebulous 221, obliging him to rescue the models from nocturnal thieves. A chase ensues, across and underneath the city, but armed gangsters are no match for Jimbo’s new night vision and his galactic minder, 221. The police are doubtful.
221 tries to account for his client’s extraordinary progress, while the Energy Masters struggle from suspicion through bemusement to inconclusiveness. Fortunately, Jimbo participates, while he sleeps.
A story of human development, described to our hero in 100 seconds. Meet an eclectic assortment of scientific wizards who created our modern world. Humour exists, galactically rare. 221 believes the human brain is the galaxy’s most complex machine, running on only 20 watts.
Set in beautiful Edinburgh and the wider Milky Way.

Jack the Ripper?
Readers are transported to Victorian London and introduced to Inspector Doyle, a modern-day detective with eternal life, who discovers that he has been wrongly named as ‘Jack the Ripper’, the Victorian serial killer. Nobody wants that label at any time in history, so with the aid of time travel he returns to the year 1888 in an attempt to clear his name.
Another complication for Inspector Doyle is that his modern-day daughter, Flora, who he has left behind to travel back several centuries, is becoming increasingly suspicious of her father’s identity. This is after making her way into his Shrewsbury study, that she is forbidden to enter.
The only good thing about returning to 1888 is that Inspector Doyle is able to rekindle his relationship with daughter Alice and wife Eleanor, who he had to leave behind all those centuries ago. Alice can then only but marvel at her father’s abilities to answer a question that only he knows the answer to, because he has travelled into the future and back.
The story references many Victorian objects that have been meticulously researched and then used to tell a story that is only possible through time travel and a rather clever inventor who may or may not be still alive. Many elements of the original Jack the Ripper case are also detailed as are the horrors of Whitechapel.
Find out whether Inspector Doyle manages to clear his name by discovering who the real Jack the Ripper is, and expect a twist at the end that involves both daughters and a Victorian book that, unlike the rest of Inspector Doyle’s objects, is unable to exist in parallel between the two time zones.

Hunted
Those that are dead are the lucky ones. Most of the Earth’s population has been wiped out. Those that were spared are doomed to go on living in an empty world full of memories and ghosts. Mark is one of those few, surviving in the forest on the edge of his hometown in crippling isolation. His existence is purposeless. He scavenges for what he can whilst doing everything to avoid the Hunters, deadly creatures that stalk through the ruins in search of prey. Then one day, Mark finds something on one of his journeys. Something he never imagined he could find. A child – completely helpless and destined to be the world’s next victim. Mark knows what he must do. He takes the child and raises him as his own. But in a world fraught with danger and with no hope of a future, he soon finds himself tortured by his decision. And it won’t be long before they face a new threat – one far more dangerous than Hunters – that will push that decision to its breaking point.
