About Book 1: Origins Unknown

Alex Masterson isn’t special, he’s a bit tall for a boy on the brink of becoming a teenager, but he isn’t special. His parents and his school certainly don’t think he’s exceptional.

The only one to love him is Axis, his dog.

His mundane and repetitive existence is broken only by his vivid dreams where he explores a world of immense natural beauty but he senses all is not well with this dreamscape.

Eliza Andersen is a girl with an eerily similar background, and when they meet, both their worlds are turned inside out.

Their origins are brought into the light, their destinies intertwined, and their heritage uncovered.

Their voyage of discovery tests them, bends them, threatens to smash them apart. Can they fulfil their destinies, or will it prove too much?

Seek your origins, embrace the unknown.

About The Author

James was born in 1974 in Basingstoke, Hampshire. He grew up with a love of all things Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

This was nurtured with the release of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Alien, et al, and later, The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.

Books that were never too far away from him in his early years were The Chronicles of Narnia and most things by Roald Dahl – Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and George’s Marvellous Medicine being particular favourites. But the one book that affected him the most was The Lord of the Rings.

Escapism was a key part of James’ early life. Growing up on a farm in some ways was quite a solitary existence but it did give him the opportunity to explore and allow his imagination to thrive.

With an innate ability to tell a story, he used to make up tales on the spot for his younger brother and sister when they couldn’t sleep at night.

None of James’ friends or family will challenge him at Scrabble or indulge him with a game of Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit – he isn’t sure why.

James lives in Hampshire with his wife, two sons, and two high-spirited dogs.
