Paul Wilkinson | 1 comments Hi there, my name is Paul Wilkinson. One item on my retirement 'bucket list' was to write a fictional novel. What a journey of discovery that has been! Developing characters that eventually took over the book writing as it progressed.

My novel is a humorous sci-fi book called 'WOW'.

Here is the blurb:

"...Paul Drake’s life gets turned upside down by an unfortunate accident involving a coconut. After he wakes up in hospital, he is aware of strange dreams and images. He develops a sudden obsessive compulsion towards a piece of paper; believing that he is now somehow responsible for recording an important message.
Surely these are symptoms of the concussion he suffered? As part of his recovery he goes through cognitive group therapy with Zack, his therapist, and three other delusional patients.
Ruth is fanatical about interpreting religious texts to make sense of suffering, and is convinced that Paul could be about to receive a message from God.
John, who claims to be a Pastafarian – only insofar as a spaghetti strainer is concerned - is convinced that Paul is receiving signals from extraterrestrials, who appear to be influencing our weather systems.
Franck is wrapped up in his own private struggles with unfinished cold war business, and sees Russian spies and mind control being behind it all.
Paul struggles to come to terms and accept that either he is going crazy; the people around him are crazy; or something very strange is going on. Surely the facts as they unfold, detached from the delusion infused reality, are simply a set of hideous coincidences? Being in a group of like-minded delusional patients and a therapist who needs therapy, isn’t helping him in trying to discover what is real. In the end..."

Here is the link on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/WOW-humorous-c...
The book is available as ebook, paperback and hardcover.

I am looking for some sci-fi fans who might like to read it and give feedback. Many thanks. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Cheers, Paul

Hunter H. | 2 comments Treasures of the Lochs
My debut novel is Treasures of the Lochs. This is suspenseful YA Christian fiction, involving a modern-day treasure hunt in Scotland, with a bit of supernatural thrown in. Blending historical fact and Scottish legend within an action-packed adventure, Treasures of the Lochs is an exciting, powerful story of faith, friendship, and redemption. The target audience is teenage and above (some parts would be too intense for younger readers). This book is a 2024 NIEA Finalist in Religion Fiction. It also hit Amazon#1 New Release for Christian Fantasy. I hope you’ll check it out.
