Following the horrific Holborn Circus incident of 2008 which shocked the world, Jeanne finds herself and Paul her twelve year old son, embroiled in an impossible task. Failure could mean the end of mankind. ~~~~~~~ Paul squealed, bucking under her. Just as they hit dirt, the writhing kid somehow managed to turn. Arms and legs flailing, fists flying, he probably didn’t mean to smash her right between the eyes like he did. Probably, he was merely trying to stave her off. Unfortunately for Winn, the blow came out of nowhere, catching her by surprise. Combined with the raging, rampant, uncontrollable tongues of violet flame leaping inside her chest, licking at heart, core, centre, brain, the crack was like a thunderclap. One moment she felt the insane wrath, the pulsing pain in her skull; the next Paul’s fist cracked against her forehead. ~~~~~~~ THE TIRNANO - BOOK 1 - FINN Book 1 - FINN - Follows the build up by the separate forces for a confrontation with the armies of the Dark Gods.

Father of 5, Step-father to 2, Grandfather to 12. Retired, and Living in Bexhill-on-sea in the 1066 county of East Sussex on the South coast of England. I joined the British Army as a boy-entrant in 1961, serving in a number of countries around the world, picking up some strange habits along the way, including ‘people watching’ which has become an invaluable aid in character creation. Over the years I have developed a deep interest in the pantheon of Egyptian Gods and their followers. In 2005 and 2009 I visited Luxor in Egypt. I was most intrigued by the wall paintings in the tombs in the valley of Kings, which depicted the buried dignity, and his interactions with the Ancient Gods. – The Gods were painted to be much larger than the general populous which led me to consider that they were not of this earth, that they were visitors from the stars, -- Aliens, -- Giants, -- The Watchers.

Born in Brentwood in Essex UK. The only son of an English Father and an East African born German Mother. Father of 5, Step-father to 2, Grandfather to 12. Retired, and Living in the 1066 county of East Sussex on the South coast of England. I joined the British Army as a boy-entrant in 1961, served in a number of countries around the world until 1973, picking up a few strange habits along the way, including ‘people watching’ which has become an invaluable aid to me in character creation. I retired from my long time profession as an IT Tutor in 2008 and began writing in earnest. I have churned out numerous Short Stories; some not bad, some very bad and some which should never see the light of day ever again but all were part of polishing skills and abilities which have brought me to where I am now. I have written two full length novels, three novelettes, three cooperation’s with other authors, this my first attempt at an epic tale. Over the recent years I have developed an interest in the pantheon of Egyptian Gods and their followers. Delving extensively into numerous translations of a multitude of different documents on Ancient Egypt I found nothing which contradicted my conclusions. In fact the deeper I researched I discovered more and more parallels to the three present day religions which have their origins in the Middle East. In 2005 and 2009, I visited Luxor in Egypt. I was most intrigued by the tomb wall paintings in the valley of Kings and countless other sites which depicted a buried dignitary and his interactions with the Ancient Gods. - The Gods were painted as much larger than the general populous, which led me to consider that - other than the easy answer: ‘To enhance their status’ however I believe there could be an even more simple answer... that: They were actually greater in stature than humans, and they were not of this earth, they were visitors from the stars. (Well, that’s what they are in the Tirnano books.) Aliens - Giants -- The Watchers
