About this title

Synopsis

The Worlds Of The Orb dives into alternate dimensions, some twisted and comically surreal as in the, There Was An Old Woman tales. Others are a journey into the realm of Twilight, Fairies and Witches, there is a bit of Urban Fantasy with Magical Realism in The Flash And The Thunder and Black Angel/Bark Angel, and a bit of Horror from The Hall Of Light. Through it all The Orb is present, in full view or skirting the edges of reality. Faith is tested in a young boy confronting an ancient evil right next door. There are present and ancient scores to settle. The stories are edited to the higher end of the Young Adult range but still hold a more adult edge. There is some profanity, sexual content and violence.

About the Author

Retired welder/metal fabricator, now a writer. I always said that I would be a writer in college, studying to be a biologist or an English professor. I chose a trade instead to stave off frostbite and starvation. Back again, to cold and hunger. I enjoyed the trade and most of the projects I had the opportunity to be a part of; aircraft components for Northrop, Boeing, Douglas and other aerospace companies. The last 16 years were self-employed, I had a shop in Camarillo, CA. In the early 1990's I started making a variety of products for vintage and modern motorcycles. I was a member of a vintage off road racing club, traveling around the country competing and selling my products.... ... Many of the ideas for stories came from watching the bright glow of the molten pool of metal formed by the arc of my TIG torch. The idea for the singularity in many of my stories, The Orb came from the ball of energy pushed along over miles and years of welding metal.
