Megan Goes To The Zoo: A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger And One Scary Mother!

About this ebook
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.
In Megan Goes to the Zoo, our psychic teen’s parents take her to the zoo one sunny Bank Holiday. Megan wanders around with her huge ghost tiger, Grrr, and finds herself empathising with the animals. Grrr has fun playing with the captive tigers in their cage, and Megan is sure that she exchanges thoughts with an elephant that is bored with giving rides to ungrateful customers.
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 THE PUBLIC HOLIDAY
Megan’s garden was coming on spectacularly well as a result of the constant care and attention she showered upon it. She and Jane liked to take advantage of the privacy provided by the honeysuckle, jasmine, sweet peas and passion flower by sunbathing in their swimming costumes on the grass. This felt perfectly natural to Jane who didn’t mind whether anyone saw her or not, but it was a completely new experience to Megan. She thought they were being very daring not sunbathing at the seaside, where she would have felt much less inhibited.
This was a result of her mother’s strict moral code. Suzanne had no objection to sunbathing and swimming in public places like the beach or municipal pool, but considered it overly exhibitionist to do the same in the privacy of one’s own back garden. However, what annoyed Megan the most was that she could see what her mother meant, although she didn’t want to and certainly didn’t agree with her. She both envied her friend’s freedom and wondered whether it was a good thing at one and the same time
She found it perplexing and frustrating. Megan was just about to open her eyes and prop herself up on one elbow to discuss the matter with Jane, when Jane remarked:
You never seem to suffer from spots, do you? What’s your secret?
She opened her eyes and turned to her right to find Jane studying her face from less than a foot away. "Your skin is beautiful, there’s not a mark on it you weren’t born with, whereas I get spots all the time. Come
