There are unsuspected solutions to life's conundrums, from the mundane to extraordinary, some reassuring, others terrifying.Existence has its own odd way of balancing out options for the deserving and undeserving, and extraordinary alternatives are just an unguarded glance away.

The Earth is no longer fit for humans, the Planet Dweller is no longer one entity, and humankind are now dinosaurs. Which is what would be expected after the meddling of two superbeings who never quite got the hang of mortality, although secretly aspiring to it. And there is also this dodo, and an intergalactic criminal in a pretty frock. The final book in the Planet Dweller series.Dodo Books

Ever detected an element of ogre in that unkempt lout lounging on a park bench with a can of light ale, or insubstantial wraith in the girl twittering inanities into her mobile phone? This is probably because those alter egos exist in the depths of Darkle Deeps or magical realm of Lustreland; a dimension where griffins, rocs and dragons soar over a domain on the verge of being devoured by a monstrous entity deep below it. Which also comes as quite a shock to a bombastic bass baritone and sagacious hotel owner with a mission to bring down an international conspiracy. Dodo Books

The evidence of a fabulous ancient past is about to be lost forever with the death of an enigmatic recluse. The last people to witness this mysterious civilisation's power were blown up by an explosion that baffled and alarmed the authorities who attempted to commit its existence to oblivion. Dr Duncan Parfait is charismatic, a little shambolic, and totally convinced that there could be no intelligent culture pre-dating the present one. The unequivocal proof that there was sets his preconceptions and world on its head. Without giving a thought to it being too true to be good, he sets out to excavate submerged cities and write a book which contradicts all those assumptions made by historians and archaeologists that went before.

Hunder is petulant, moody and prone to tantrums. He is also the bio computer that controls intergalactic travel and moves worlds. When God Arrives his mood doesn't improve, but the Supreme Deity is more interested in annihilating Hunder's mysterious communicator Ansopha, "spawn of the Devil". So the Devil enlists the help of retired photojournalist, Gladys Hodge, winter resident of Beachview in Brinton-on-Sea. The small seaside town is never quite the same again. Dodo Books

Ahmose looks after the menagerie at the temple of Amon Ra and is a secret devotee of the Aton. The vengeful Ra transforms him into a golden bird, damned to live forever and only turn into a man for a few days every five centuries. The curse of Ra is also drawn down onto those Ahmose encounters. The alchemists, Helen Maat and Dinan, and the soldier, Gerard Jorden, are also condemned to immortality.Dodo Books

A fire destroys the last business standing in the way of a new shopping mall. Preston Niblock's wife also dies in the fire and, as the shock wears off, the jeweller uncovers the frightening truth about Palace Parade. The developers, Gideon, stand to lose too much if it gets out, so Preston is bribed and blackmailed into keeping it quiet. The local shops put out of business by the shopping mall have no intention of going quietly and enlist the support of a crusading councillor, brilliant accountant, and backing of Preston's ill gotten millions. What could go wrong?Dodo Books

Can they make matters even worse? Read on...Dodo Books

For those who view with deep suspicion the tyranny of unrelenting technological advance ... and those who do not have the need to take their science fiction too seriously. Dodo Books

The bonds people forge can be glorious, everlasting and filled with devotion. All too often they are problematic and dogged by regrets. Many more are not what they seem. Devotion to a lost partner is one thing, devotion to the long dead quite another, and an orang-utan with a sweet tooth can be more appreciative than the family everything has been sacrificed for.Dodo Books
