The Scarlett Quest

By Margaret Pearce

John Scarlett, a slightly unsuccessful young man, has moved into a parallel universe in search of adventure.

It is unfortunate that he lost his soul and memories to the ferry witch, and that he is even more humiliated by being tricked into becoming a sorcerer's apprentice to his ex-tomcat Quill.

However, with the aid of a small girl who believes that he is so stupid he has to be looked after, he might just manage to survive.

Margaret Pearce

Margaret Pearce was born when the population of Australia was seven million – now it is some twenty-two million. Like many Australians, her forebears immigrated in the 1850's to find a better life for their children, part of the largest diaspora of the times.At seven when she found a lurid science fiction magazine, her unsupervised reading started. The cover had an almost naked female in a large wine glass and an interesting alien drinking her blood from a tap below. She has since been hooked on science fiction and fantasy. She completed a commercial course before being launched on an unsuspecting business world as a typist, stenographer and secretary before falling into copywriting. When she married, she commenced writing and even while raising children, found time to publish. When children grew, she decided to study for a arts degree as a mature age student and become a teacher, but writing continued to dominate her life.The Author lives in an underground house in the Australian bush, where she maintains her love of writing.
