Near-death experience – the final portal to the ultimate truth?
Peter Small doesn’t know it, but when he steps in front of the speeding taxi, he’s about to embark on a paranormal journey that will provide the answer to the biggest question of them all: Why are we here? While his body is suspended in a comatose state, Peter discovers a world where he exists as a shimmer – a condition not connected to the physical world. To his surprise, he isn’t alone.
Mary Abrahams, the nurse at his bedside, is facing a completely different problem: she is harbouring an unwanted pregnancy. Must she marry the man responsible, even though he suffers from an obviously dangerous personality disorder? What about abortion?
In his meetings with other shimmers, Peter Small seeks answers and eventually connects with The Entity, the Creator of All. He gets insight into the many religions of the world, as well as the nature and origin of the universe – and Life. Then he is tasked to save Mary’s unborn baby …
Enter Danny, the ruthless lover, George, a sexually frustrated conman, and Frederik Verster, a doctor who has become a social recluse. Add a Cape Flats gang member, a paralysed professor and a caring matron, and you have a page-turning thriller with the twists and turns the author has become famous for.
But there is more … SHIMMERstate is a story of Destiny, of Fate and of Faith. As the story unfolds, the reader is swept along to re-examine the concept of a physical God and heaven. In SHIMMERstate the author explores the deeper spiritual questions about Life and Death, to come to several surprising conclusions

[POST FINAL SHAPE; BEGINNING OF ECHOES] "Hey." Mara called out gently, eyes softening as she reached out and grabbed ahold of the Young Wolf's bicep and started to trace patterns across her exposed skin, "What's wrong?" The Young Wolf bite her lip but still did not look at her fiancée, the anxiety in her gut wouldn't let her, anxiety that's been there since she figured out what was happening with her. What if Mara didn't take the news well? What if, she didn't want to take this next step with her yet? What if- "My Wolf?" The Titan closed her eyes at the pleading tone she could hear in the monarch's voice, a tone that the Guardian was only ever privy to, only ever blessed to see this side of the Queen of the Reef. The kind, gentle and caring lover she could be. Despite herself, she felt her insides warm at her fiancée's voice and leaned into her touch as the Queen's hand began to move down her arm until it was wrapped around her waist. The Young wolf shakily exhaled and leaned back against the Awoken Monarch's chest before turning around and staring up into Mara's gorgeous cyan eyes. And all she saw was love and concern reflected back... "I'm pregnant." She blurted out before her nerves could get the better of her, making her fiancée freeze in place. "...What?" -OR: Now that the Witness is dead and the Final Shape has been thwarted, Mara Sov and the Young Wolf try to keep the peace with their allies as the dust settles. The Guardian's new ascension to God-hood and trying to find these...Echoes scattered across the solar system before their enemies do is the least of their worries though.

If I got a penny for everytime I rolled my eyes at him, I would probably be a billionaire. In a limousine. With a hot wife. And a hotter girl to cheat on her with. And that too I'm straight. He flexed his palms and the flame disappeared. "With practice, even you can control your Blue Matter." I didn't say anything, just nodded. "This Blue Matter is stronger than Red Matter. It can destroy beings. Be careful with it." "Uh, so I am a DreamMaire?"

Death Is My BFFLAD (Book Two Original Series)
(Bfflad- Best friends for life and death) Dear Reader, Let's start at the beginning shall we? I died. Oh no, not one of these stories again where someone angelic and heroic saves the damsel in distress. If only I was that lucky. My heart stopped beating. My lungs stopped working, my soul began to lift away... And then I was saved by a beautiful man with a kind heart and sparkles sprinkled around his head in a golden halo. A cunning, dazzling smile etched his angled features and his hair lay perfectly on his head like...black, sinful layers of pure cynical distrusting evil. Evil that was just waiting to onset a innocent girl as myself and allow her a short amount of time of happiness, and then finish her off when she became older. I'll give you a hint. The beginning of that description was slightly exaggerated. The Angel of Death. One of the only creatures known that was capable of settling the boundaries of heaven on earth. The only creature capable of making one of the Devil's darkest deals to my loving mother; a second chance for her daughter. This comes with consequences of course. Everything you know about Death is wrong. Death is not natural, Death is not normal, Death is not doleful, and Death is far from mercenary. Death blends into the shadows like coal against the most atramentous sky. Death walks the earth with his cursed, monstrous and exotic features, his enticing voice and betraying alluring eyes. Death deceives, scratches, and plays with your mind, until you slowly and painfully loose your grip on reality. He'll make you believe he's a different person, that there's a sliver hope for him. Hope for you. Death is close. Forever and always, Faith Williams ************ DIMBFF FAN CLUB ON FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1605057011183.80718.1378871754&type=1#!/groups/308207282529485/ **** MY WRITING PAGE!
