Format: Ebook

 Combe Dingle Wood can be found (if you look really hard) in the heart of the Somerset countryside. It exists in that twilight time between myth and reality. It belongs to the era when walkabout scarecrows and Aunt Sallies wandered the hills and vales of the English West country. The local folk can tell you stories of their experiences when entering the wood. Most people that wander in wander out again with a smile on their faces and a sense of well-being. No one has ever quite put their finger on why this should be- they can only say there is something magical about the place. The Chronicles of Combe Dingle Wood are a series of stories about the unique folk that inhabit the wood. They have exciting adventures in ‘Between time’ (created for them by a friendly witch). They encounter dangers, but they do so with a sense of humour and fortitude that is typical of the West Country folk. It was a few years after the Second Year War when I first encountered the real inhabitants of Combe Dingle Wood. Were they people trees or tree people? You know to this day I am still not sure. Perhaps you could decide? The story books I have produced are based on the records and drawings I kept in my diary all those years ago.

Can you tell us what your book is about?  

Marcus Evans is a new kind of super hero. Born with superhuman strength, he is compelled to join the Army Rangers, where his abilities create an unique assassin against the war on terror. After his stint with the Rangers, he joins forces with reclusive billionaire Robert Sinclair, who has been his mentor and father-figure since the age of sixteen. A whirlwind of action-packed adventures leads Marcus to the discovery of an alien spaceship that unlocks secrets about his life, which will shock him to his very core, secrets that Robert has been hiding from Marcus his entire life.

Can you tell us a little about your main and supporting characters?

Marcus Evans is the MC. He’s a tall muscular man gifted with extraordinary strength, thus, the nickname Superman. He’s not very outgoing, but has a clever sense of humor. He is fearless and dedicated to doing the right thing. Marcus normally has his emotions well under control, but the month of August will test his sanity as he discovers secrets about himself that will shatter his world. His best friend, Charlie Washington, is very outgoing. He thinks he’s hilarious, but his wit is often lost on others. While, he loves Marcus, he often feels as if he lives in Marcus’ shadow. They both work for the Angel Society, ran by Robert Sinclair, an aloof billionaire who has many secrets. Robert has a son, Tyler, who is even more mysterious. Tyler also appears to have many secrets and a death wish as well.  

Chloe Ohlsen is a small petite women who is brilliant and very talkative. She works with Marcus and Charlie. She usually works from the sidelines, but this time she’s pulled into the action.  You’ll find her antics very amusing.

Lois Landle is a beautiful, nosy reporter trying to break a big story. She develops romantic feelings for Marcus, but will that prevent her from pursuing a story that could change the world?

Michael Teniffog is a self-serving megalomaniac who is trying to destroy the Angel Society and Robert Sinclair.  

Do you tend to base your characters on real people or are they totally from your imagination?  

Totally from my imagination, although there traits of people I know or of myself in each character.

Are you consciously aware of the plot before you begin a novel or do you discover it as you write? 

I have the beginning and end figured out, but everything else is made up during the writing process. It’s fun not knowing what’s going to happen next yourself.

Open the book to page 69.  What is happening? 

Marcus wakes up next to the beautiful Lois Landle, but has no memory of the encounter. Very entertaining scene.

Have you suffered from writer’s block and what do you do to get back on track? 

I definitely have. I usually move on to another scene.

Which holiday is your favorite and why?  

Christmas, because it’s my son’s favorite holiday. I enjoy watching it through his eyes.

What do you like to do for fun? 

I love to read, but golf is also a big passion of mine. I usually play three times a week.

What kind of advice would you give other fiction authors?  

Only write if you love it, because it is an enormous effort, with a high probability of little financial success. Make sure you produce a quality product, which means, edit, edit, and keep editing.

About the Book
Was it the accumulated wounds to the environment that had finally triggered the nanotech plague or was it simply one more step in a shrewdly crafted plan to replace us with humans 2.0? As I write this at least one pair of these transhumans breathe the same air as us, and there are likely many more. They may look like us, they may even be almost human, but they are also cybernetic and will live for an extraordinary length of time. Trust me, their goals are not the same as ours. It was not a natural plague that almost drove humankind to extinction but an attack from within, turning our own biology against us. Scientists discovered all too late an artificial entity, a sentient machine foolishly created in the image of god, had been studying us and genetically altering us for longer than we can imagine. Perhaps it is because of this god-machine that we evolved into creatures who can think and speak and know our own mortality? This silicon god is so different from us that we may never truly understand it, but what we do know is that it is terrifyingly intelligent and it hates us. What we do know is that it tried to eradicate us from the face of our planet and then stopped for no discernible reason. What we do know is that its work is not done.
