I have wanted to be a writer since I learned to read. My reading ability was always at the top of the class and this developed into the talent for storytelling.  In 2011 an injury to my left leg left me disabled and I finally got the opportunity to try to write. The first stories I had published were in a US available only anthology.  The Ghost of St. Mary's and The Rocking Lantern were not only the first published, but the first I wrote. Later that year, I had Old Church Ghosts published on line in the UK. The original version is only availlable in the Special Edition version.  I made my on line reputation for ghost stories, but I also write for the children's charity books by The Peacock Writers. In 2012, my book Chronicles of Mark Johnson won an award for excellence from the US on line magazine  indiePENdents.org. Both this book, and its sequel Wharfemere Finale had rave reviews from New York reviewer, Fran Lewis. In recent times, my US hit series Forgestriker has sold over 350 e-books in the seven books series, and earned me a reputation for writing sci-fi in the USA.

About the Author

Cast:-

Kim Altland, a Jewish writer who returned to Israel.

Adrianna Kucinski - Kim's friend and lover

Mark Wilkerson - Kim's school friend.

Hannah Holm - Kim's Danish reporter friend.

Abir Moszkowicz- the former editor of the Jewish Express newspaper, and Kim's friend and mentor.

We left Kim and the lovely Adrianna waiting for a call from Hannah at the end of the previous story, A Homecoming.

Hannah had flown to London to meet Kim. She arrived to be told by Kim's editor, Abir, that Kim decided to stay in Israel. At a loss, she said her thank you and flew back; before arranging to have a well-earned break with an old friend who lives in Gavle, Sweden.

In Isreal, Kim and Adrianna are contemplating what to do, as Hannah said she would ring them when she arrived in Tel Aviv, but that wouldn't be for some time. Assuming Hannah didn't get another assignment in the meantime, or that they didn't go to Italy as they had planned and forgot Hannah was due to arrive.

Kim put the phone in the cradle and looking at his watch; he said, It's all in the air, love. We've no idea when Hannah will be calling. I hope we can be here for her, but we need to make our plans for the coming weeks before we go further.

Adrianna was in the kitchen doing some cooking, and replied, As always, you worry too much, Kim. Of course, we'll be here for Hannah. Our plans are flexible; do you have anything in mind?

Kim strolled across the room. His walk aided by leaning on various objects placed to give him support as his ankle was not healing after his accident at Masada when his tendon tore. He leaned on the doorjamb and said, "Other than going to the hospital to register with the doctor so I can get my medicinal needs, I have no pans. At some time, I would like to visit the hills around Haifa to get an impression of how severe the fire damage was last year from the firestorms caused by those terrorists, I saw the damages caused on TV, but you don't get the full view on the TV. I won't deny, love, seeing all the fires and seeing how people came from all over, including our enemies of old, to help us in a time of need brought me to tears. You can argue that the people who threw the bombs at the start did not envisage such horrendous fires, but I would argue against you. They know
