Helped by Dr Barnardo, they have begun to make progress when Bobby is attacked in the notorious Rookeries. Tom comes to the rescue but finds himself arrested, in a cell, and then before the Beak. His trial is at the Old Bailey where he is not allowed to speak in his defence. Then Tag comes to his rescue!

Ethcara

The land is under attack from snowstorms. Each flake is warm to the touch, and when it reaches the ground, it fizzles and sizzles, then soaks in, leaving a small heat haze over the area, and eventually this poisons the ground underneath.

Whonose, a Master Shipwright, is in contact with his sister, Whome, up at Ull, about this problem, where it is decided that the danger is coming from The Halh, as before.

Whonose is chosen to visit the sanctuary of Lancheal Uzban, to get some advice. With his companions, Maximum Benkys and Ethin Twentyfive, they set out on their eventful journey.

They meet Riffik Oozdal, Ma-cheng Pom and Odu Ishema, from whom Maximum learns all about Kolta, a mind and exercise regime; and a conclusive Mind-battle ensues.

To the friend’s dismay, they are then asked to continue on their ‘wending’ to find a legendary Mist-breather. On this leg of their journey, they spend a night on the Field of Smaryde Tor, which is not as comfortable as expected.

Finally, entering the Spur of Ethcara, it is here that the legend ends, and the fate of The Great Estate is determined.

Eve of the Light

The audience will fall in love with the story of Eve, who finds her father, finds love and, through the guidance and counsel of the women in her ancestral line, finds her inner warrior queen.

But now, she actually has to do something and something is coming for her. Train the new guy. Teach him to protect her. Stay alive. That’s probably her biggest problem at the moment. Aphrodite needs to find a way to protect herself and find out who’s trying to kill her before it’s too late. But the one who’s in the UTS isn’t her only enemy. Looking over her shoulder just that once might save her life – and the lives of others. But then you have them. Aphrodite’s boss and best friend are hiding something. Which isn’t unusual. But this secret could cost Aphrodite everything she once held dear.

Finding the Wind

This is a novel for young people of any age who believe that thinking matters, quite literally, and that it can make an exciting difference to everyday lives.

Thandi has lost both her parents and her focus in life. Through a quest of self-discovery she learns to be compassionate towards herself and others. Her journey spans learning from brick and mortar schools, an indigenous healer, the bush, the ocean, the mountain, and the great saints of both past and present.

The story addresses the question: How should we live our lives? It explores how we can make our world better or worse by being kind or unkind to ourselves, others and our environment. Our choices matter quite literally as they shape our world.

This is the magic of quantum theory – our thoughts write the landscape of our lives. We are participants in the universe, not passive observers.
