Walker

Jane Alexander

Tom Greenway is about to discover that evil doesn’t only lurk in the dark shadows but in the bright shiny places too.


Tom likes fast food and action movies; his Xbox and iPhone. He wants to be famous and knows he could be a movie star – if it weren’t for the nerves. A pretty normal thirteen-year old really – until the accident.

Why does he start dreaming about wild animals?
Why does he have to be sent to England, to live in the most godforsaken backward dump?
Why is his weird grandmother trying to read his mind?
Why, above all, didn’t he die alongside his parents?

Tom is thrown into an adventure far wilder than any game on his Xbox. He’s about to find out that he’s a shaman, an eco-warrior, a “walker between worlds”. The only problem? Nobody ever told him.

Warning: The shamanic techniques described in Walker are all real - do not try them on your own


Walker is complete at 65,000 words

Hi Phil...this is really wonderful writing. I got quite lost in it which is always a great sign as it means nothing snagged or bothered me or interrupted the pleasure. Deep and satisfying. No helpful crit, I'm afraid - don't think you need it. And yes, I loved the shamanistic bits, just as you s... view book

Hi there, saw your comments in the forum so thought I'd come over for a quick look. Looking through your comments, you've had some great advice here - a lot of good constructive criticism. I would agree with there being a little too much tell, rather than show and that the speech tags could do wi... view book

This is a helluva ride and I enjoyed your characters hugely. Not much by way of crit, I fear (I seem to have lost the knack) but it did strike me that your first chapter is exceedingly long.... Great good fun...happy to back. Jane view book

Finally got here- sorry for the huge delay. I don't read masses of crime or thrillers so probably not the best for crit here. Ouch, a visceral first chapter and I liked the strong sense of place and the realistic dialogue. Watch out for cliches - I noticed a few (piercing eyes like daggers, impos... view book
