Odyssée: Hold It! & The Eclipse of Venus

Odyssée #1-2

by Alp Mortal

Kenny is running from a past that he would like to forget; Johnny is sinking into the present, a present which he hesitates to move from. Caught in the cross-hairs of Fate’s sight, they meet at a crossroads in the middle of nowhere.

Propelled by a re-occurring dream in which the two of them are standing together on a deserted beach beside a bleached out old tree from which a wind chime is hanging, they embark on a road trip with no choice but to put all of their faith in their new-found love. They find so much more than they could ever dream.

This story was originally published in two parts: Hold It! and The Eclipse of Venus.

About the author

I'm English by birth, from the Isle of Wight, living in Newport, spending part of the year in the USA, co-managing The Carter Seagrove Project LLC - an independent publishing house, incorporated in the State of Indiana.

I was 51 years old in 2016. I only started writing in 2009, proving, I suppose, that it is never too late. I didn't think about publishing until late 2012, now, nearly four years later, I'm even more energized by the process than ever before.

I'm a qualified English teacher, specializing in teaching English as a second language (TEFL), though I don't do much of that now. In the distant past, I taught software skills. In the very distant past, I was a project manager on big IT projects and at the very beginning of my career, I was an Internal Auditor. I have degrees in Internal Auditing, Computer Auditing and Project Management. I'm studying for my degree in Sustainable Development at the moment. Renewable energy is what really interests me.

I'm a member of The Society of Authors, The Society for Editors and Proofreaders and The Independent Author Network.

I have no great philosophy except "energy follows intention" and "honour your gifts". These two principles keep me sane, very happy and exceedingly busy!
