Evil in Hockley (24 page)

“
Long Ago in China,
”
is a romance adventure story set in
the ninth dynasty of China. I attempted to write an epic story but
found it difficult so was satisfied with a novel length tale. I did
more research on this tale than any other I
’
ve written. An author
needs the ability to relate to his characters which is complicated
when the culture of the subjects are so different in the east
compared to the European culture. After finishing I liked the story
but it does have a western flavour that shines through.
It
’
s
like a Zena Warrior Princess tale if you like that type of
story.

“
The Last Avro Arrow,
”
is a fiction story about the ill
fated Canadian aircraft
“
The Avro
Arrow,
”
Although well ahead of other aircraft of the day all were
destroyed by a Conservative government in the late
1950
’
s. This fiction story is about one lone survivor of the
cutting torch, one plane that was stored in a hangar in northern
Ontario. It is also a love story about Harry, a test pilot, and Meg
his girlfriend. Basically terrorists attack Ottawa and Harry and
Meg save the day using the Avro Arrow.
