May Never The Dead Return

Is Matt Black sick or is he really able to have telepathic conversations with a prowling beast in Inglefield Wood? Half the time Matt is not sure about this himself. The farmers want to shoot the beast. Matt is determined to stop them. Then the beast is wounded and becomes...well...really dangerous. But where is it hiding? Why can't all the farmers and armed police track it down? What role do Allegra, Matt's ex-girlfriend, and her desperately ill baby brother Jo-jo have in this story? How far can bereavement push a young person into a world of fantasy? Can grown-ups ever be forgiven for letting you down? Can we blame an animal for doing whatever it takes to survive? Are human beings any different? Must we always do what is right? Is it right to medicate someone who is no threat to anyone? In his winding journey through these questions Matt seeks some resolution to the turmoil in his life. And he finds it, but at great personal cost; Matt comes to realise that however painful it is to lose someone, we have to move on. So powerfully is this truth brought home to him that at the end of his journey his fervent wish becomes, May Never The Dead Return. 3rd in a series of ebooks written as thrillers designed to take young adults on life adventures filled with mystery and suspense.

About the Author

An author who has had many stories published in the women's weekly magazines and literary journals, John was drawn to writing at an early age. At one time in his teenage years he was reading one book a day---the subject didn't matter, but it needed to grab his interest in the first couple of pages, or he would abandon it. And this is the rule he has since applied to all his writing, believing that if you haven't grabbed the reader straight away, you are not writing well enough.. After graduating with an Honors Degree in History he spent many years in academic publishing, at last leaving to pursue his long-held dream of becoming a writer. "Easily among the very best new writers we have seen", "fresh and original", "creates life-like characters---maybe too life-like" (whatever that means!), are some of the comments made by literary reviewers and consultants about his work. His favorite band is The Moody Blues.
