The Rescue Circle

By Candy Ray

Ryan, a young magician from an English magical lodge, sets himself a test: he will go to the next world to become a psychopomp, and return by a certain time or die in the attempt. He is unprepared for what he encounters: a time tunnel created by an angry soldier, a beautiful but treacherous muse from Mount Olympus, and a rescue circle of dedicated Spiritualists, more skilled than himself. Meanwhile his absent girlfriend, and one of the Spiritualist girls, are on quests of their own in the everyday physical world.

When I was a child I always thought I would become a fiction writer because I wrote so many stories in exercise books. What in fact happened was that for a while I wrote a lot of poems and songs, and then nothing at all for twenty-four years.My consuming interest has always been the occult and psychic subjects, and in 2014 I joined A.E.O.N. a chaos magic group on Facebook. It was described as: "A Unique Art-Magic Collective made up of Highly Creative Individual Rebel Artists: Writers, Graphic Designers, Crafters, Pranksters & Performers. Art Transcends All Reason!"For the sole purpose of contributing to this group, I started to write short stories and novellas. I teamed up with a chaos muse, a non-human entity, and channelled material from her so that we each wrote some of the pieces. Then I began to self-publish the resulting books .The more I learn about the professional writing world the more I am discovering that I don’t have anything in common with them. Therefore, I have now made all my books free on this site.I live on the south coast of England with my small family. The A.E.O.N. art group has faded from prominence now and has been succeeded by newer ones, but still:- Art Transcends All Reason!Other LocationsMy Smashwords interview can now be found on this page https://www.smashwords.com/interview/FrondThe short story collection Chaos Fables is now on this page: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1370828I also write under the pen name Lena Chere.
