About the author
Tim Maddox
3 books2 followersTim Maddox has always loved the escape of a good story, whether that's from a western, high-fantasy, mystery, or just a good biography or historical piece. There is a seemingly perpetual need for more shelf space for new books. With that passion has come a fondness for creating his own personal stories. As time wears on, more of these have found themselves on various pages of paper or word documents. The first story to be published was Forest Flight in September of 2020.
Outside of his job in engineering, Tim enjoys going to trivia nights, taking long drives to just think, playing/streaming video games, exploring his backyard in the Pacific Northwest, and traveling to new places.
He lives in Hood River, Oregon.

A brilliant masterpiece that can be read within a span of 30 minutes time. If you've ever wondered how to write a good short story let this book be your guide! Not a "how-to" but written to near perfection. Study it and learn how to apply words that make a reader's five senses come alive.
Your heart might palpitate, you may find yourself short of breath, you'll be running alongside a nobleman's daughter for your life! Like "Last of the Mohicans" or "Robin Hood" you'll find yourself in the middle of a wood with only the stars and natural surroundings to support and guide you as you hide from those who're out to harm you.
The story-line would have benefited from a bit more background information, perhaps a bit more description regarding the main protagonist's appearance and dress and that of those who were pursuing her; however, the ending brought it all home.
Home. I wasn't sure the ending would conclude the way it did. I was imagining the worst. I wasn't sure I could trust what the main protagonist and I were seeing. However, a finer ending one couldn't have asked for!
From beginning to end this book's 51 pages were a thrill. Non-stop action with only brief reprieves. Hero's in the form of knights and a young woman that becomes a heroine in her own right by saving herself by using her brains and might. Remembering the things her father taught her becomes her salvation and North star.
I highly recommend it for those who appreciate historical fiction of times long gone. Of how things might have been during the times of the Medieval. I also highly recommend this read for writers who wish to learn the craft of writing. Writing that shines, engages, is fast-paced, and a reader won't want to stop reading until they've reached the last page. Good writers study the craft of others to learn how to better themselves and "Forest Flight" is a good book to use towards that end.
I would like to thank the author, Tim Maddox, for writing this short story. Like a scene and sequence out of a movie, this book was electrifying! This was an easy 5-star rating to give.

This is a great short story to read. 55 pages. The story rolls along very smoothly with seeable descriptions and the right amount of fear and beauty. I.really enjoyed this.
