I am frequently asked how I come up with my ideas. Usually, I don’t know. They just show up. In this case, the movie The Chronicles of Narnia somehow hit a nerve and caused me to wonder about parallel universes. One thing led to another and the very short e-story The Garden, Barn and the Treewas published on Amazon, and it still resides there.

Copying C.S. Lewis’ wonderful story was unique and the Walt Disney people are formidable, so trying to clone their work was never an option. However, these fine people don’t own the idea of parallel universes. Over the years, many have written about things happening in the same place but in different dimensions. Why not me, I reasoned. The laptop was dusted off, an ink cartridge was inserted in the printer, and my editor went on full alert. The Wye Tree was born. I hope you enjoy it because I enjoyed writing it.

Pirates? Not the “Arg” or eye patch kind, but space pirates

somewhere in the very distant future.

A family’s travels are interrupted by pirates who kidnap a man and his wife, but a young man avoids capture. This is his story of how he rescues his parents and becomes a high-ranking officer in the Space Force.

Our future hero is joined by a young couple. Together the

three overcome obstacles to destroy slavery on a planet far from Earth. Many times, it would have been easier to quit fighting and return home. Living a quiet life is nice if

you can pretend dark forces in the universe do not exist.

Three adventurists destroy a kidnapping ring and help

bring order to the universe. This is their story.
