Apparition a sample story from A Compilation of Twelve Short Stories

AUTHORS NOTE I am Stephen Atkinson an unknown writer in the field of fiction. Born in a small village called Conisborough, South Yorkshire England one of seven siblings. My Parents moved the whole family to the City of Leeds West Yorkshire when I was five years old. I always had an active imagination but it took me until the age of 51 years to put into practice what I should have done many years earlier. At the age of 39 I immigrated to the beautiful island of Cape Breton Nova Scotia Canada.

It is because of my family I was inspired to put into practice what I had wanted to do for so long and I hope all that read my work are both inspired and entertained by my imagination and ideologies within the works I have produced. There is some bad language but I have tried to cater to the late teens and adults alike. I took great pleasure in w...

I was a bit skeptical about audio books verses print or e-book and wondered if I was making the right decision. I joined ACX and read up on all I could, I even went on ask Jeeves and yes ask Jeeves does still exist! to try to understand if audio was popular and to my surprise yes it is.

So why the big wow factor of audio….Simple , its easier than reading as most people prefer to listen to a book rather than read it and the benefits are they can multitask whilst they listen, in today’s modern society we are all busier in our lives and reading takes time and concentration , time we don’t have. Audio is easy to listen to and it can be listened alm...

Authors notes Book 3

PETER HAWTHORN KUWAIT: IN TO THE FIRES OF HELL Authors Notes Peter Hawthorn and his men had been baptized in fire in Northern Ireland; this gave them the strength when they faced an adversary in Alaska. Outnumbered greatly and pitted against the elite of the Soviet Union they prevailed with a great loss of life but not in vain. Through their efforts and resolve of the Yorkshire spirit they prevented a pandemic that could have been of biblical proportions. Although the incident was covered up by the governments involved. Peter and his men grew into professional soldiers; battle hardened becoming men of a club only those who have seen action could understand. The horrors never left them and the lost friends never forgotten. Nightmares had waned and begun to subside. Peter married Mary and took Kenzie as his own flesh and blood, a step daughter he could never replace nor love any less even after Peter junior was born, his love for his family was total dedication as a husban...
