I found myself smiling and amused by his witty take on things. The author is a talented linguist and has played on words effortlessly to inspire and tantalise the minds of his readers. I LOVED this book and have found myself reading parts aloud to whoever was lucky enough to listen. I cannot wait to devour whatever he publishes next." Samantha Kennedy - English Teacher.Most of these poems were written as teaching materials for super bright advanced English language learners when I was teaching English at Shane Global in Hasting, UK.

Elaine Taylor has a stereotypical suburban life: a stay-at-home mom, an accountant dad, a normal start to her junior year of high school. Sure, sometimes images pop into Elaine's head—images that stay with her until she draws them—but that isn't weird. That's artistic inspiration. But it turns out her "artistic inspirations" predict the future, and Elaine's regular world falls apart. Having been identified as a powerful Seer and kidnapped from the school parking lot, Elaine finds herself trapped in a world of superheroes, secret government agencies, and terrorist groups. Now, instead of her typical suburban life, Elaine becomes the permanent house guest of the eccentric superhero Pendragon and his wife. Elaine's days are filled with robotic Knights of the Round Table, combat training, and honing her psychic skills. Still, since Elaine plans on surviving her new life, she'll do whatever it takes—even learn to fight in robotic armor and make friends with the too-hot for his own good...

Found to have risen shortly after his death, Jesus spent the next three days with Satan, when Satan was still favoured by God before he was cast to Hell. The reader discovers Satan sought to save Mankind from God, and how all was not good in Heaven at the time.. told by the Holy SpiritThere is a gap in the Bible – the three days after Jesus was taken down from the Cross, and before his Resurrection. This story is about those three days. Scripture has Jesus rising from the dead on the third day – instead, in Double Christ we find Jesus rising shortly after being taken down from the cross. The reader follows his movements during the next three days where we learn Jesus spent most of his time in the company of Hassatan – or Satan as he is known today, but Satan when he was still favoured by God as his Chief Adversary, before he was cast from Heaven. The reader discovers Satan was Mankind’s greatest champion, and of how all was not good in Heaven at that time. A story told by the Holy Spirit (Paraclete), God's partner, in her words…

Miguel shrugged him off.I ended up drinking the lot.Nothing could have prepared me for what happened next..." Mumbo Jumbo
