A story of witchcraft in the age of computing.

Excerpt Details
Down in Dr Diverse’s digestive system, Bertie was clinging on to Miss White for all he was worth. Foul juices churned around him, and he had to fight to stay attached to Miss White as the muscles of the digestive tract contracted round the frog to drag it further and further towards the dragon’s stomach. That wasn’t all. The smell was awful. It reminded Bertie of the day he was hiding in the compost heap and Jim tipped a slurry of rotting cabbage leaves over him. His wings had stunk for hours, even after he’d flown backwards and forwards through the lawn sprinkler whenever Jim’s back was turned. And this time there was an additional torture. His ears hurt with all the noise of the muscular contractions and liquid slopping about. Slowly, and with difficulty, he tried to crawl along Miss White’s back so he could get to her head and talk to her. But it was a battle he was losing as he was getting more and more tired....

That night, the moon was full and the skies were free of clouds. I had forgotten how beautiful the sky could be at night with a million pinpoints of light, each one a separate star. It was also nice to be in contact with air again. In an ice form, I was limited to how much air I could grab on to, and we droplets need oxygen to be truly healthy. “You look happy, Tweedy,” Alice said. “You bet I am,” I replied. “I’m looking forward to being on the move and seeing more of this great big world. “I wonder if we will flow westward towards the Pacific or eastward towards the Gulf of Mexico” Alice mused. “Roger said that if we went east, we’d go to the Atlantic Ocean” I corrected her, “not the Gulf of Mexico”. “Basically, Roger was correct,” Alice explained, “but to get to the Atlantic Ocean, we must first go through the Gulf of Mexico. And then depending on the currents, we might have to go through the Caribbean Sea as well before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. It is a long trip to get to the Atlantic Ocean from here - unless of course, we go in cloud form and fly over those eastern mountains.” ...

“Come on, Craiova; come on, students!” “Come on and score!” (They had failed to score.) The score was still close. The blue flags waved in the grandstands. The spectators made caps out of the newspapers – which they hadn’t bothered to read. (The papers, after all, had been specially printed for the match.) “Get your roasted sunflower seeds!” “Get your peanuts!” At the central stadium the places were occupied three to four hours before the beginning of the game. The chief of the gallery, Ostrovski, set the tone: “Go, go, Ştiin-ţa [Science]!” (To a spectator next to him): “Cheeky boy. Why don’t you yell? If you’re not going to show your support, then get out of here!” Some spectators wore blue- and white-striped caps with “University” emblazoned on the peaks. The students screamed at an ear-splitting volume. The stand was like an erupting volcano. “Go, Dynamo!” one screamed, as a bottle smashed over his head. It was an unequal duel between the galleries. On the turf, the crowd boiled over with excitement. “Huuuuu!”...

LITTLE BAD WOLF is a novel aimed for children who like adventures where the hero faces huge even unfair challenges but will win in the end with humour and determination. More than anything Little Bad Wolf wanted to see her father again. He was in prison for nothing other than being a wolf. In order to get him released she would just have to convince the Judge he was not dangerous. That would be easy. The hard part was that she would have to learn to speak in human language in order to convince the judge. However, Little Bad Wolf is not the sort of animal to let the fact that something is close to impossible get in her way. She learns English through listening to pop music and has almost got to grips with it when she faces a local farmer pointing a shot-gun at her. She gets through this and gets accepted into the village school. Shortly after this some parents start demanding she has to go. Each time Little Bad Wolf climbs a hill she discovers a mountain has been put in her way. ...

Memorable Quotes “The only effect of the two wolves was that afternoon Granny Hood had a dream Elvis Presley was trying to kiss her, and she was telling him that he should behave himself. Even that was not unusual, as Granny Hood had been having dreams about Elvis for the last fifty years. In most of these dreams he was trying to kiss her.”Narrator “The plan was simple, but putting it to work would not be.”Narrator “"Do you mind me asking you? Do you bite?"The two wolves talked to each other. The men did not understand what was going on but the smaller man thought the two wolves were laughing.

FOREWORD: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION. MANY NOTEWORTHY EFFORTS, both scholarly and otherwise, have been made in modern times to chronicle the events that took place at the dawn of the Twenty-First century, before the Fall and the subsequent New Enlightenment, but none have focussed so completely on the human element as what we, the Publishers, proudly present to you here. The recent discovery of Adelaide Pemberton’s journal has provided us with some unique glimpses into that banished Age of over five-hundred years past; however, those writings are woefully incomplete, and educated speculation is required to draw a coherent picture of those most-important events as experienced and witnessed by the one deemed most critical to the foundation of our present society. Therefore, we have commissioned esteemed psycho- historian Doctor Judith Burnley to construct for us a credible interpretation of the thoughts and convictions held by one of the most mythic figures from human history; this has been an undertaking that, we are well assured, was not taken lightly. Ladies and Gentlemen, we proudly give to you: “Adelaide’s Pinnygig”. The...
