About this ebook

When a racing greyhound becomes ill she is abandoned by her racing kennels. She finds herself scratching a hard living on the streets. A former cruel owner sees her when he visits the town. She knows that she must escape from him. The dog runs from the town and wanders wearily along a road which leads her to Humpty’s door.
Humpty is a kind man who has spent many years with only the birds’ and animals’ of the fields and woods for company. He and the dog are amazed to find that they can understand each other’s speech. Humpty asks the dog to share his life. The dog soon realises that she has found love and her forever home with Humpty.
On their very first outing to the woods together a frightening incident with a wild boar leads to a new friendship with a cantankerous old parrot who defends the dog from the wild beast. The threesome (Humpty, the dog and the parrot) begin their adventures together when they find a magic sword on a haunted island. The sword tells them of its sixteenth century life with its Master and of its need to let the world know of the true circumstances behind its Master’s death. Their quest for the truth leads them into many dangers, mystical adventures and encounters with paranormal beings.
Humpty finds that his new ‘family’ has led him to meet all kinds of people some of whom will become friends while others will always be foes. The dog’s life blossoms further when she finds a barely alive dog that she is determined to restore to full health.

When I retired after a long working life - I knew that I didn't want to do 'as little as possible.' I started to grow a small house renovation business for a while but once the recession came, I didn't want to continue with the business. I decided to become involved with a small local charity called Kerry Greyhounds UK and began to foster and adopt greyhounds. The women that ran the charity worked incredibly hard to save Irish greyhounds from the bullet. They ran their homes and families and on a fortnightly basis travelled from the East of England to Ireland to collect four or five dogs to bring them to safety and to find homes for them.One day Misty, a three legged dog scuttled down the garden path and into our lives. She was a wonderful dog and somehow an idea sparked in my head - I could write a novel with Misty, or Maisie, as we renamed her as the central character. Any money that I made could be donated to the charity. A couple of years later the book was published. Maisie didn't live long enough to see her book in print but her poise and beauty live on through the book - The Mystical Life of the Dog with Three Legs.I have now published five books - in print and electronically. The Giant Stories Books One and Two and The Scary Giant Stories are fully illustrated by me as I couldn't afford to pay for an illustrator. When I look at the illustrations I cannot believe that I produced them as I've never done art work before. In total, there are fifty four, illustrated giant stories of about seventy five thousand words in total. I should mention that I am registered as a blind person with very little sight in one eye only.At the moment I am working on two crime novels, one of which will be published in the latter part of 2014.I am really enjoying my 'retirement,' which is just as well because writing and trying to market the books will take me until I'm 'quite old!' Who want s to do nothing anyway?
