A charity theatre gala brings to a head years of secrets and lies, and what begins as a comedy might just end in murder...


What does one do with a musical past its sell-by date? Go out with a bang in form of a gala performance, starring the original cast – age and mobility permitted.

But the choreographer, a reality TV aficionado and universally feared über-bitch, is unhappy with the cast, and the race is on to get the show ready for the critics, who smell blood.

Dramas and Sexual antics backstage, where dreams of retirement by a Spanish pool are shattered, and star-crossed lovers are reunited with lost children. Will it be tap-dance ever after or murder most choreographed...?

I would like to thank all those writers, who, during the past months, have taken the time to read and critique my book. I have taken much of your advice on board, and have just uploaded the edited chapters. Thank you for your valuable help...

 

The Emerald Serpents

Harry Ball-Weber

Laurie and Gertie will lose everything unless they fix their time machine. Will their puzzling new Italian friend help to solve a Pompeian murder mystery?


The Emerald Serpents is the first in a series of time-travel adventures that features 12-year-old tomboy Gertie and her timid twin-brother Laurie.

After their grandfather dies Laurie and Gertie discover a time machine in his secret workshop, but what good is a time machine that doesn’t work when you’re about to lose your home?

Their only hope of keeping the bailiffs at bay is a nationwide school history project that promises a £5,000 reward. Laurie is determined to win, but the school bully has other ideas. A terrible storm provides unexpected assistance in completing the time machine, but can this – and Francesca, a fellow pupil and feisty Italian girl with a mysterious background – help the twins save their home?

Follow the twins and their cheeky terrier Britney to Pompeii, 79 AD, where they meet bloodthirsty gladiators and murderous villains, and with the deadly volcano about to erupt - and Gertie accused of murder - will the twins ever make it back to the present alive?

This has the makings of an instant classic. Having previously loved Anne Rice I devoured your tale of lust and...teeth. Film-rights are crying out to be acquired. Good luck...Harry view book
