about me

I have self published "Call of the Thunderbird" in Dubai and all the profits are going to an orphanage in Sierra Leone. In the first week I sold 80 copies and I am now planning on a book signing and local TV appearance.

I have left a few chapters here, but these are an early draft and have been edited again for the final publication.

Call of the thunderbird

John Fenton Moore

In 1985 there were two cougar attacks in North America, this tale contains one, as well as a story of growing up and finding love.


Please note that I have removed most of the book as I have self published in paperback. You can contact me through http://www.facebook.com/pages/Call-of-the-Thunderbird/116243985117855.

This book is about the experiences I had on the West Coast of Canada in the 80's. It is the story of the journey of a young, city dwelling Englishman thrown into the Canadian wilderness to work at a children’s camp. He arrives to find a group of strange Canadians, whose love for the outdoors is matched only by their craziness and their adaptation of the native ways. The biggest shock, however, is the children, who look at him as fresh prey. Can he learn enough in a short space of time to survive the children and the wilderness?

Just when he starts to feel that he can cope, a crisis occurs, which tests all his new found skills, as a young girl’s life rests on the outcome. An animal attack has repercussions that bring him close to one special person. A relationship develops and he is torn, when he realises he must return to his own world and resist the call of the thunderbird.

Andy I think you have a nice blend between description and action. Your writing reminds me of some of the work of James Cavell, bringing the feel and nuances of a different culture through an action story. I hope your book does well best of luck. John view book

Hi Joe It is a brave thing when you bare your soul to the world, which you have done and I commend you for doing it in a way that allows me to feel part of your journey.

This is an excellent piece of writing. The story of Tommy pulls at the heart strings immediately and I want to discover more about the narrator whose best friend is an invisible alien. Backed with pleasure. John view book

The Springfield Curse (Fair Critters Review) I really enjoyed the first six chapters and feel you have the potential of a great thriller. The plot is good you have two interesting MC’s and I like the way you have introduced Sam as a very creepy character, but there seems to be more to him that we w... view book

I thunk this is a beautiful book and I like the idea of dream fairies and Boglins. I also like the way you target your audience explaining how you gain your wings similar to doing house work to earn pocket money. Backed with pleasure. John view book
