More Dark Tales of Cryptids and Park Rangers by Michael Kelso

Welcome back! The creatures that lurk in the wilderness have missed you. Enter the forest once again, flashlight trembling as you search for the unnatural sounds you heard just outside the perceived protection of the light from the campfire. Don’t worry, I’m sure it was nothing. It definitely wasn’t a bloodthirsty creature watching you from the shadows, waiting for you to let your guard down so it can creep up and grab you unawares. I’m sure it just wants to have you for dinner. Umm… I meant to have you  over  for dinner. Yeah, that’s what I meant to say. These eight stories will transport you back to the forest, where nothing is certain except danger, and staying alert means staying alive… hopefully. Remember the rookie park ranger who had to endure some strange rules in a fire tower? Well, he’s back. This time he’s guarding a warehouse. Because nothing could ever go wrong inside a mysterious warehouse on the border of a forest, right? His story continues in, ‘I used to work in a fire

Finding Zoe Dawes: A Minor Minus story (Tales from Minor/Major Minus) by Matt Langford

Tom has a problem. Indeed, a number of problems arise for him through the course of Finding Zoe Dawes, the first and penultimate novel of The Major/Minor Minus stories. Many of these problems boil down to the behaviour of Rag Bowman - old school friend and serial provocateur. His utter inability to find even an ounce of sympathy for Tom following the suicide of Hazel, Tom's wife, is a problem. Dragging Tom around Europe is a problem. As is the time travel he frequently experiences. Indeed, all the characters pose some sort of problem for Tom, which go largely unresolved until the final confrontation with a King of Jupiter. Love, contentment, satisfaction and wonderment are all beyond Tom, but remain as close as a sigh, if only he could find Zoe Dawes and explain everything to her and apologise for all his inconveniences. And problems...  Get the Book From Amazon   Finding Zoe Dawes
