    I would dedicate this book to the human being who sat down and created a device that, when I knew fully about it, altered my outlook completely. I could have had a nice ordinary life doing what most people would have call a normal job. That would have been pleasant enough but the resultant change in my attitude led me along a different pathway. It’s been chaotic, interesting a...

  • Counting Freckles
    Michael Nye
    I wasn’t brought up to go with the flow. I know that’s the easy way to success, or at least I’ve been advised that it is. It’s also a way to a grey boring existence that I don’t want to be part of. Kicking against everything I’ve been taught is tempting but, however you’re taught stuff, some of it will have truths that you can’t escape because they’re a bit true. I gues...

  • Askatasuna
    Michael Nye
    On an otherwise ordinary spring day, Alice Witney thought she recognised a demon from her long buried past. She could have decided it was just coincidence but instead, as was her nature, acted on instinct causing a minor affray in a supermarket. Had she have thought for a moment, Alice may have sensed that life was not ever going to be quite the same after the incident. Sh...

    Singing, in the hall, that God was working his purpose out made me wonder for a moment just what the hell that purpose was as regarded me. We’d all been taught not to think too much about ourselves though so, being an obedient little soul, I dismissed the thought almost immediately. If my being here and doing what I’ve done is part of some grand scheme by an omnipotent creat...

  • The Mayfly Children
    Michael Nye
    When a mixture of rotting wood, cutbacks, secrets and a decent measure of harassment begin to encroach into the lives of Jim and Amanda’s extended 'family' of friends and actual relatives, they do their best to fight back with another blend. Social media, guerilla Shakespeare, more secrets, quick thinking, an unlikely politician and a good bit of rank stupidity play their part...

  • Maze Days
    Michael Nye
    The offspring of a rock star may well know the feeling of living in the shadows. My parents are a good deal less famous though, and I really don’t mind being associated with the pair of good hearted eccentrics that they are. I like being me as well, and I used to wonder where I fitted in all of this stuff. Scatterbrained, unfocussed, a daydreamer for sure is me. Comments like ...

  • The Reed Cutter
    Michael Nye
    Lois Turner smiled at the tempting stretch of water ahead, dismissing her tutor’s notion that academic success provided true freedom. He knew nothing of her former life, or that study had been her means to block it from her mind. A resolution was needed though, and an open ended journey might provide time and solitude to think, on the boat that was given to her with the sim...

  • The Ballad of Masie and Linda
    Michael Nye

For over a year this had been their reality though, but they both realised that their time on the island was finite. The unlikely bond between Linda, from a northern mill town, and Masie, from a background of old southern money had a cause that both would have...

  • Nearwater
    Michael Nye

She also knew that a rather better considered plan was set to change their lives forever. After the summertime adventure, what lay ahead wasn't a game any more. Had she have thought that the future held another life changing discovery, ...

  • Emily's Journey
    Michael Nye
    'Ludere per regulas' was the school motto and, having looked it up in her Latin dictionary, Em had decided that the time for playing by the rules was long gone. She and her elder sister had been left in the family home to fend for themselves due to circumstances neither understood. Though comfortable, both knew the situation could not go on any longer. In the absenc...

  • Here We Go!
    Michael Nye
    Carrying cargo and living on a boat that wasn't much bigger than a large packing case was, of course, sheer folly. That was Amanda's considered opinion two days before she set off with Jim, whom she'd met only days previously, to do just that. Now, on a dull day in the low season, the need to pass exams and earn a living were paramount and the last year seemed like something ...

  • Mayfly
    Michael Nye
    The idea of being a fugitive when your means of transport can only move at walking pace is somewhat ludicrous, as is living on a boat that is, in size, little more than a large packing case. That and the self proclaimed stowaway was about to make the rest of the year very different as, armed with nothing more dangerous than a windlass and a box of Soviet made watches, the cre...
