Portals

About the Book

An attractive young woman tells an inquiring clerk why she has no proof that she was born in 1981, not in 1891 as she’d written in some forms.

Her story does not surprise the young official.

That is the start to Mark and Faith’s incredible adventure that takes them across hundreds of years, to more of their kind and some that hunt them.

They encounter multiple dimensions, strange cultures and customs, halls containing many portals that lead from nowhere to anywhere to everywhere, from the beginning to the future, from birth to immortality, from life to death and more life.

About the Author

I’m a retired accountant. Retired means I can write and keep myself otherwise occupied than by pestering my wife. Accountant means I have to be kept out of the mischief of telling others how to spend their money.

Numbers are cold and figures are uncompromising. Business correspondence is either dictating or placating and minutes of meetings leave no room for one’s own flights of fantasy. I earned a living in the harsh world of facts and stories got bottled up inside me while I dreamed to escape.

My characters talk a lot and think a lot to express their feelings. Their attitude to events and an underlying motive is more important than the mere occurrence of events. I like to see what I consider to be good to prevail. I want to express myself in my writing to identify with my kindred spirits – be they accountants or plumbers or housewives or whoever.
