The Book of Maker

The Book of Maker

When Clarissa Bell goes to a shop that sells pre-owned books in search of something different she finds much more than a new story; she finds herself wrapped in an adventure where fiction extends beyond words on a page and has the power to completely change everything.

Take care when putting pen to paper, when using imagination to create.
For in the unknown twist of everything vast, reality may come into being.

A new fantasy adventure from the author of the much loved â€œAlloriaâ€.

Author note:
This story, The Book of Maker, has been the most difficult I have written to date, primarily because it originated as the seed of an idea presented to me by my daughter, Jodie. That seed came as a what-if question, namely, what if you could communicate with a character in a story and they could communicate with you. Therein, I had an intriguing idea gifted to me, albeit one with no beginning, middle or end. The idea lived in my mind for a long while, slowly growing, and while I jotted down ideas and kept notes they were very fragmented. For a number of years I shelved this story, or rather its fragments, and got on with writing other stories. One day, I pulled those fragments back from their dark resting places (or did those fragments pull me to them) and I began to wonder, what happens to the characters in unfinished stories? For it seemed that these characters had continued to develop in my subconscious. The story was somehow seemingly complete, as if it had found its own way; all I had to do was write it down. At least thatâ€™s what I thought when I began. It soon became clear that there were a lot of holes remaining, holes that would allow the story to collapse if I did not fill them.
Fill them I did, and here it is, eventually, after torturous agonizing months, the story that came from that gifted seed of an idea. In many ways, to my way of thinking, it has grown into much more than a story, it has become a window into how a story is constructed, at least how I constructed this story. I hope you enjoy the journey through the words Iâ€™ve used to tell it.
