    About this ebook

    The Last Leaf is a short story depicting the life of Henry the leaf, who stubbornly holds on to his branch (his life), searching for the true meaning of existence. Much in the vein of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", Henry experiences many adventures including a battle with caterpillars, the love of a family, a forest fire, and more. His branch, Michael, guides Henry through his life's ups and downs, explaining that all life is precious, and even a special leaf like Henry has a purpose set forth by the First Great Seed.

    Scott Bray

    Scott Edward Bray, born May 18, 1969, grew up in Long Island, New York and Gilford, New Hampshire. He graduated from Alfred University in 1991. The Clive Hyde Gigs represents a series of (mis)-adventures with the gang of Ed, 31-years-old, still living at home, and an aspiring horror writer and his brother, Will, 33-years-old, and unfortunately for Ed, also living at home. Along with Chelsea, the bumbling but lovable (guy-friend, no one knows where the nickname Chelsea came from), and Will's ex-wife (and Ed's secret love), Justine, the four "Scooby-Doo gang for adults who like their beer", seemingly fall into horror-mysteries wherever the day takes them. Future "gigs" in the series include: Vox Sensitive, The Asking, and The Battle for Ever. Scott Bray can be reached at his Facebook page, "Clive Hyde" or emailing him directly at "clivehydexxx@yahoo.com."
