Jack and his brother’s undertake the most hair-raising and arduous journey in their lives. They meet many characters from the darkest pages of Celtic mythology. They struggle through a series of disasters before Jack realises what his mission is, and how he might be able to utilise his paranormal powers.
As they travel through the Celtic Underworld, they are forever in danger. They meet thraldom, giants, man-eaters and a creature more fearful than your scariest nightmares. Only Jack’s latent skills in magination can ward off the evil that Jack’s party face, but is that enough?

Darkus - The Rise of the Sapphire
"What do you think?" asked the one-eyed grandma which pulled me back from my trance. "It's...it's just amazing and beautiful. I can't take my eyes off it," I wanted to wear it. That's where it actually belonged. Not in some small wooden box which shunned its brilliance. "You can have it for 30 province permits," she said. "30?!!" I exclaimed. All of a sudden, the necklace didn't look so appealing. Province permits were these expensive permits you needed to travel to other provinces. The amount of service hours required to get one was crazy. "Yes. As a discount I'll settle for 20... your choice. Take it or leave." "How about 15?" "Deal." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Darkus is a planet existing millions of light years away from Earth in an entirely different galaxy. It is the abode of men and women gifted with certain powers. The planet is ruled by a council headed by a Riasto. And every three years, a selection committee chooses four residents from an alien planet and gives them the powers of a sorcerer and welcomes them as its citizens. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ #44 in planet - highest ranking so far 😄Complete

Tales Of Wonder are short stories that are tied in to a novel I've had in my head for years. They are related to the novel and each other. These stories are mainly to motivate me and to test out different writing styles. Each short story will be written in different styles. They take place in a world where magic and science combine. The first story here, I admit leaves the rules of the world and how everything works a little vague but each short story will add more and eventually the novel will tie up the magic system. Any feedback is welcomed. Of course, let me know if you want more stories.Complete
