Megan And The Cookery Competition: A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger And One Scary Mother!

By Owen Jones

In Megan and the Cookery Competition, Megan’s mother, Suzanne is preparing to enter the annual cookery competition run by the Women’s Institute. Megan decides to enter too for the first time. She is taken aback by the amount of jealousy and rivalry among the contestants, but otherwise has a great time at the show.

The Psychic Megan Series consists of twenty-three novelettes about a young girl's growing realisation that she is able to do things that none of her family can. Megan is twelve years old in the first volume. She has two seemingly insurmountable problems. Her mother is frightened of her daughter's latent abilities and not only will not help her but actively discourages her; and she can’t find a teacher to help her develop her supernatural, psychic powers. For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities. Megan is a good girl, so it would seem obvious that she would tend towards using her powers for good, but it is not always easy to do the right thing even if you know what that is.

These stories about Megan will appeal to anyone who has an interest in psychic powers, the supernatural and the paranormal and is between the ages of ten and a hundred years old.

Owen Jones

Author Owen Jones, from Barry, South Wales, came to writing novels relatively recently, although he has been writing all his adult life. He has lived and worked in several countries and travelled in many, many more. He speaks, or has spoken, seven languages fluently and is currently learning Thai, since he lived in Thailand with his Thai wife of ten years. "It has never taken me long to learn a language," he says, "but Thai bears no relationship to any other language I have ever studied before." When asked about his style of writing, he said, "I'm a Celt, and we are Romantic. I believe in reincarnation and lots more besides in that vein. Those beliefs, like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around', Fate and Karma are central to my life, so they are reflected in my work'. His first novel, 'Daddy's Hobby' from the series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya' has become the classic novel on Pattaya bar girls and has been followed by six sequels. However, his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a young teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. After fifteen years of travelling, Owen and his wife are now back in his home town. He sums up his style as: "I write about what I see... or think I see... or dream... and in the end, it's all the same really..."

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES

Believe not in anything simply because you have heard it,

Believe not in anything simply because it was spoken and rumoured by many,

Believe not in anything simply because it was found written in your religious texts,

Believe not in anything merely on the authority of teachers and elders,

Believe not in traditions because they have been handed down for generations,

But after observation and analysis, if anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, accept it and live up to it.

Gautama Buddha

∞ ∞ ∞

Great Spirit, whose voice is on the wind, hear me.

Let me grow in strength and knowledge.

Make me ever behold the red and purple sunset.

May my hands respect the things you have given me.

Teach me the secrets hidden under every leaf and stone, as you have taught people for ages past.

Let me use my strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy – myself.

Let me always come before you with clean hands and an open heart, that as my Earthly span fades like the sunset, my Spirit shall return to you without shame.

(Based on a traditional Sioux prayer)

1 SUZANNE’S SUGGESTION

One Sunday afternoon during the school summer holidays, after the regular feature film, while they were still waiting for their enormous lunch of roast leg of lamb, roast potatoes, boiled new potatoes, peas, beans and carrots from the garden, with mint sauce, followed by a dessert of rhubarb crumble and custard, to go down, the family was watching a cookery competition on TV.

I’ve been thinking for some time now, Megan, that you should have started to learn how to cook by now. I know that you dabbled with French cooking after our holidays there, but I mean traditional Welsh and British cuisine. I was only seven or eight when I started to help my mother out in the kitchen. How about you, Robert, did you help your mother cook?

Oh, yes! See that scar on my thumb there? He leaned forward so they could get a better look. It’s only an inch long now and doesn’t look much, but that was the whole side of my thumb when I was six. Mam sewed it back on with a needle and thread while we were waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

What happened, Daddy?

"I don’t remember it,
