Collected Other Stories (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

COLLECTED OTHER STORIES contains thirty five imaginative, fast paced short stories covering a wide range of topics. Some in the collection are sea stories such as Dolphin Joe, The Sea Chase, Victorious, and What Ship? What Destination? Others are science fiction stories that include, The Oracle of Pentos 7, The Man From Mars, Home Sweet Home and Doomsday. Still other stories explore faith and belief in different settings and perspectives - Eye of the God, Offerings to Jupiter, Prayer of Ra, and In the Name of Allah. In truth, the scenarios and characters in this short story collection are somewhat difficult to summarise; this is because of the diversity in the stories as well as in the writer's imagination. The reader will be pleasantly surprised with the impressive amount of worlds and realities comprised in this 'other' universe, a universe containing historical characters and events, Pacific cultures and beliefs, journeys into both the future and the past, as well as exciting adventures that will hopefully transport the reader into new experiences and pleasures ...

Autor

Paul Morrison, a retired museologist, has also been a writer for most of his life. "I cannot remember a time when I was not writing, even when I was five or six years old. I grew up with books such as TREASURE ISLAND, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and THE TIME MACHINE these and the many other books which I read in my early years fed my imagination, a voracious imagination transporting me to faraway places, other worlds and to other times in both the recent and the more distant past..." Many of these worlds and places are visited in the novels and short story collections he has written.

Besides a love of fiction, Paul also reads widely on ancient history and archaeology. "I am particularly interested in Ancient Egypt, mainly Old Kingdom Egypt during the age of the pyramid builders. I have always been intrigued as to how the pyramids were built and also about the lives of the pharaohs and the workers who constructed the pyramids. There were many questions filling my mind, but few if any answers." This inquiring interest led to the GIZA TRILOGY books, THE PHARAOH, THE SPHINX and THE THREE QUEENS, a monumental work of well-researched fiction set against the backdrop of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Together, with their associated books, THE DIVINE LIGHT, ETERNAL EGYPT (Supplement to the Giza Trilogy), and SECRET OF THE PYRAMID, these books total more than 1.3 million words! Other books written by Paul cover a wide range of subjects including historical fiction, science fiction, ghost and detective stories as well as many other genres.

Paul currently lives in Hobart, Tasmania with his wife in a house overlooking the Derwent River. "The magnificent views of Hobart and Mount Wellington inspire me in my writings but the most important inspiration is my wife, Helena."
