    About this ebook

    'Doors' is the story of Lara McDonald, heroine of 'The Wee Time Traveller' in her latest quest to bring science to the masses.

    Along with George and Scott, with whom she has been working on true 3-d tv, Lara has accidentally stumbled on a discovery that will connect two distant places as if they are close to each other.

    This is the story of their adventures as they decide to make their invention available to the general public as a go-alone venture taking business away from buses and private cars when they launch their first service.

    But their former employers the National Television Authority, are reluctant to let go of the goose that lays the golden eggs, and they try to get back what they have lost.

    Factor in government interference, the military and a lone nut case decides that Doors are evil and must be stopped, you end up with a recipe for mayhem in a comic science-faction novel firmly rooted in the reality of having to get from A to B in daily life.

    Alexander Hawksville

    I live in Scotland where I appreciate the beauty of my rural surroundings. Landscape and how it influences people is a large part of my work. I have been involved in many different areas of the performing arts. On a regular basis I travel to 'the big city' and perform in Poems and Pints nights. I write and self-publish poetry. I also do this for other writers.In the past I was with Borderline Theatre where I took part in, and wrote plays for their Community Outreach project.Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror are my favourite genres, and my books on these subjects feature on SmashwordsWriting is a hobby and a passion and has allowed me to meet and perform alongside a lot of people I would never have encountered otherwise. I am part of a community and that has been the most valuable part of the writing experience for me.
