He is now coming up through the ranks, having ‘dug’ himself out of the ‘gardening’ class and is in a normal academic stream. The book is set in Salisbury, Rhodesia in the years +- 1957-1961.

RUGBY is one of his saving graces and I would like a school boy game with him (JP) scoring the winning try at the end of a very exciting game. The next game was when he brought his team to glory at a University (of Rhodesia & Nyasaland) rugby match. They were now playing 1st League against major 1st League clubs. --Prue Hare, poodle2@yebo.co.za

Thank you for your input. --Carol Bilodeau, writingforfun2010@gmail.com.

11. BONE CHILLER Winner: Bronze Medal, 2009 Independent Publisher Book Awards From the author of The Night Projectionist, a vampire OGN published by Studio 407 and optioned for film by Myriad Pictures, comes an indie horror anthology where Man is the most feared monster of all. BONE CHILLER is a "best of" anthology of Heske Horror's critically accaimed COLD BLOODED CHILLERS: Tales of Suburban Murder and Malice. Featuring 8 great scares and 2 chilling extras, it is a book that has received eleven 5-star ratings already on Amazon. There's an edge of Twilight Zone with a twist of Alfred Hitchcock about the stories in Heske's BONE CHILLER. And the art is stunningly beautiful, reminiscent of the horror art of the past. -- Project Fanboy Bob Heske HEYWELL FILM SCRIPTS (508) 842-1298 | r_heske@msn.com | www.bobheske.com

12. 2012: FINAL PRAYER An End Times Anthology Heske Horror, the award-winning indie creator of BONE CHILLER, provides perhaps the most entertaining and engaging book on the 2012 phenomena. 2012: FINAL PRAYER is a collection of short graphic tales that provide diverse creative interpretations about what will happen on 12/21/12 at 11:11 GST - the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar. With contributions from comic creators and horror writers from around the world, "2012: FINAL PRAYER is about as much fun as the apocalypse can be" raves Sebastian Piccione from Project Fanboy. Includes a Forward by Jim Harold, host of the Paranormal Podcast and essays from best-selling 2012 authors Marie D. Jones and Marshall Masters, plus a special "extras section" with Post-Apocalyptic tales. "A dandy concept for graphic fiction that remains true to James Warren's independent spirit, with illustrated stories a bit edgier than the mainstream. I'd much rather re-read this book a third time than watch Roland Emmerich's movie even once." - Rod Lott, Bookgasm.com Bob Heske HEYWELL FILM SCRIPTS (508) 842-1298 | r_heske@msn.com | www.bobheske.com

13. Nature's IQ - Extraordinary Animal Behaviors that Defy Evolution (2009) By Tasi and Hornyanszky

Nature’s IQ confronts us with many wonders of nature that Darwinists fail to explain in any strictly scientific fashion. Using 200 fascinating color photos, Nature’s IQ cites over 100 behavioral phenomena from the animal kingdom that are unexplainable by evolution.

The authors give the reader good reasons to question Darwinian dogma as an valid explanation. They demonstrate that truly scientific explanations have not been given, and that in principle they cannot be given. They breathe new life into the design argument in biology, particularly with regard to the complex behavior displayed by many living things.

However, one summer night something strange happened that changed all this and signaled the merger of the world of fantasy and reality. The Past And Future King is about an ordinary lad named Tom who has an unusual love of reading. He befriends an old scribe named Willet who introduces him to fantasy books which are generally frowned upon in Tom’s village. Soon the images in these fantasy books begin to captivate Tom until he is directed by Willet to visit a lake near his village where Tom sees himself drown in a recurring dream. Tom is threatened by wolves and decides to jump into this lake where he is drawn into a vortex and enters a parallel earth where dreams become reality. In this world, Tom is helped by elves and he is given a magical stone to help him fulfill ancient prophesies about becoming a Son of Light. According to these prophesies, the Sons of Light herald the merger of the parallel earths to form one new one in which The Past And Future King will return and evil will be vanquished forever.
