The Wilhelm Tell legend centres around Bürglen, Altdorf, Lake Luzern and Küssnacht, in central Switzerland. This is the setting for my novel. A beautiful area to visit. The legend and this winter wonderland are important aspects of The Unhewn Stone.
Hey, this is magic! Watch Janine Wipfli in Altdorf, Switzerland, singing Dani Häusler’s ‘Wavin' Flag’  The alchemist came through the wormhole -700 years in an instant - held open by this magic orb -- and internally combusted on arrival -- but he has opened the path for a new traveller. Stefan accepted this hot, glowing object from the stranger and became 'The Chosen One' who must return to 1307 AD and try to prevent the Wilhelm Tell legend from happening. |
HAPPINESS GUARANTEED
Her grandfather spoke of a time when sunlight shone on everyone, but he'd been a storyteller, a bad influence.
Bianca, a beautiful Epicurean Supremo from a privileged futuristic society has a flaw which, if discovered and reported to the Rulers, will threaten her life and that of the man she loves. Unable to pinpoint the cause she tries to hide her anxiety until an ingenious birthday present from her husband provides a respite. Now, on her thirty-third birthday, her primitive behaviour and thought patterns return; stronger and more dangerous.
This short story is a mainstream futuristic cameo covering the birthday of Bianca, an Epicurean Supremo. The first version was published as Bianca's Birthday Present in the Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine (ASIM) in 2003. Issue 5
BILLY THE BONSAI BULL
Bonsai Billy needs a miracle or this sad, lonely, little white bull will die.
Billy is a stubborn, orphaned calf who is losing the battle to survive. Hope revives in an unexpected way, through the milk bottle he detests, and brings him a sense of belonging. However, it takes more than a place in the pecking order for this little white bull to thrive. It takes a miracle.
Billy the Bonsai Bull is a children's short chapter book about an orphan calf's struggle to survive through grief, rejection and bullying.
In frustration, the farmer's wife declares, "The trouble is, he knows he's a cow."
