The Avalon Connection

About this ebook
Sam Waters is sitting in his office when a tall beautiful woman walks in a wants him to undertake an assignment - to find her twin sister. Little does he know where taking this case will lead him.
This is the first in a series of loosely related tales that seeks to document what 'might' have happened in Earth's distant past. How did we come to have some of the 'boogie-men' that haunt our fears? Maybe there is more to the Satan figure than meets the modern eye.
The Avalon Connection suggests other avenues the human experience may have taken.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tim Conley really began writing at the young age of six when he would recount his daydreams to whoever would listen. His authoritarian father discouraged this and any other action that smelled of books and reading. Tim would sneak into any hidden away corner and escape through the avenue of reading and was known as a loner and dreamer by his classmates, preferring his own company and that of ‘made-up characters’ to that of friends. Now at age 60, Tim has a huge amount of material to draw from to create his own settings and characters.
Tim is still a loner, living in San Jose, California with his wife and lover, Carmela Santos (a teacher from the Philippines). He would like to run a small ranch with a couple horses, some pigs and chickens.
Tim is satisfied to live the quiet life of a simple man. He studied writing at the University College at Memphis State University. The fact is he enjoys writing more than all the other things he has accomplished in life. Teaching for inner city schools has provided excitement in his life, but he has configured a quiet place where he can sit at the computer during the evening to recount his 'thoughts of the day...dream.'
Tales from Avalon is not the first and only writing that Tim has done. Tim also has TRANSDEM, INC. and The Curse of Indian Gold that were published by Brandywine Books and PublishAmerica respectively. He is currently working on a four volume space opera named Journey to Mars, Memoirs of a Country boy, Crystal Possession: Vanessa’s Story, Crystal Possession: Imagination Island and Dark Moons on Chimera.
