MAN IN BLACK
The man in black’s sudden appearance at
the meeting caused a ripple of consternation, but his demeanour made the
Chairman of the Local Amenities Committee reluctant to evict him.
Within moments the proposal for a new
bowls pavilion was rejected in favour of lighting the long path which ran
diagonally across the park. Councillor Jarvis, the lone objector, was overtaken
by a coughing fit, and the vote was carried unanimously.
The tall globular lamps became known
in the local pubs as ‘that useless load of balls’, but all laughter ceased when
aliens landed a spaceship on the brightly-lit runway.

This dramatic image is the cover of my book A Volcanic Race, which is now available on Amazon in most countries, in print or ebook.
Written with a teenage main character, it is suitable for all age groups from early teens to pensioners, and would make a splendid stocking filler.
No stocking is complete without a book!
