Has your heart been broken, does it yearn for those shattered dreams to mend? Has loss ruptured, damaged or tortured your bliss, so that your soul lingers in the depths of despair?
Soul Light is a mixture of poems and short stories that link, painting pictures that may echo towards your soul, bringing it out of the darkness into the radiance that was thought lost. It is about restoring that sense of something more, within the mysterious town of Wolford, where, between the pages, you could discover what was once thought gone.
Have you ever wondered what you’d do if you had to go into hiding?
Clementine is not her real name. Her past has not been an easy one; the loss of her parents only a short while after she graduated was a blow, but she persevered and now has a career in design and computer games. Then Luke, her greatest love, died unexpectedly and she finds that life is not easy.
Still, she battled through.
Then the gifts began to arrive, along with letters and other rather strange things, but there was one message that was always the same: YOU WILL BE MINE.
Police were baffled. Who could it be? Not one clue surfaced.
She’s moved more than once. Now living in a remote dwelling, over the bridge; away from the small town, she finally hopes that she’s found a safe haven.
It’s Christmas Eve.
Independent Authors Building Worlds
​
From Beta Shepherd, here's my list of world builders.

Weird: A Henry Ian Darling Oddity:
Missive Six
Henry Ian Darling is stuck in EverVale, the Land of the Fae, until he unravels a prophecy. Is it really about him or has there been a mistake? How can he possibly be part of something so incredible? He’s only a man; despite coming back from the dead.
​
Dark forces are determined to prevent him from finding the answers, but does Henry have the power, and will, to slice into the lines of Evil?
Tangled thoughts and problems threaten to unbalance Henry’s determination and yet, if saving Clara is his sacrifice, then so be it, but Time may be against him.
​
Follow Henry’s mysterious adventure into strange worlds and find out if he succeeds.
Changing Angels
Jake’s life is not an easy one; he knew he was lucky to be alive. Faith had always been afraid of monsters, but her father’s words vanquished them with words of love and angels.
Their lives were separate and vastly different and yet something was pulling them closer together.
Then tragedy struck and Faith’s life took a massive swerve. While Jake pondered on what would happen next in his troubled existence.
This story is rooted in truth, although, through dramatic licence, takes a leap into the unknown.
This is a mixed genre tale: romance, drama, crime thriller, with a touch of fantasy.

Three New Collections
Many of my books are now in Kindle Unlimited...
Ms. Peabody has seen the future and it is encompassed by a cataclysmic event, something set in place aeons ago. But is it something that can be changed; for all know that the past cannot be altered?
Henry Ian Darling has stumbled into a mire of oddness, one filled with demons and one in which he must venture if he is to stop that possible future – but how can he do the impossible?
Time is against them, though Time has its own rules, so Henry knows it’s unfeasible, but also knows he has to strive forward as he always does.
Weird: A Henry Ian Darling Oddity: Missive Four
Henry Ian Darling wakes in a cave with a sore head and confusion. Flix, a dwarf-like figure tells him he’s in EverVale, the Realms of the Fae, a map of which implants itself into Henry’s head – though he can only guess what it could all mean?
Was Flix the one to snatch him from the place of demons, and if so, why? What had happened to Clara; Albert, too?
Henry learns of a prophecy that further confuses his overwhelmed senses, but knows he’s in for a puzzling adventure, one which thrusts him into unknown locations, where he must find two further artefacts to fulfil his destiny...but that wouldn’t be the end of it, for sure!
What it’s really all about, Henry can only guess until the clues unfold and perhaps reveal the portent of mystery.
Follow Henry’s quest into the world of weird, but beware you don’t fall in.
Maisie
A New Fantasy
Maisie is special. Yes, she is blind, yes she’s an orphan and yes, few know her roots. But inside, she sparkles, more than an angel, more than those majestic stars that layer the universe in glory. Some see this sparkle while others deny its existence and insist she is nothing more than a brat, one that even her own parents didn’t want.
Maisie also has a secret. One she’d never share because if she did, she knew they’d lock her away in one of those places the others talked about - where all the weird people go.
Even Maisie doesn’t understand it all, but knows that one day she’ll meet the woman and the boy...those that she believes are part of her dreams, in a land where she can see, where colours are vibrant and the moon shines as bright as the sun.
What is the truth, and will Maisie ever find it?
What if you lived in a world where you could have everything you want?
FREE!

Follow the exploits of the five and champion their long, arduous yet amazing journey. Though the question remains…will Time be on their side?
This story is for anyone with a head overflowing with dreams, a heart filled with a yearning for adventure and a soul buoyant in magic.
