about me

I am not so young as I used to be. This, however, means that I have seen and felt much through my years and this experience along with a vivid imagination is where my stories come from.
My motto is, take what you know and embelish it with the extraordinary.
I hastily published a novel called 'The Green Wall'. It was not very good at all. I have spent time and taken advice and have now completely re-built it as 'Soul Passage', which I was then advised by a professional reviewer was 'A jolly good read.'
They say you learn by your mistakes and I certainly have. Too many bridges got burned by submitting a poor original manuscript. I will not do that again.
I am currently working on a sequel to or possibly a new ending to Soul Passage. I'm also writing a dark tale about a cursed village with the working title 'Charmaine Stoke' Wish me luck.

favourite books

Anything by Terry Pratchet, Douglas Adams or Ian Rankin. I also have read many by Clive Cussler, sitting in airports and they are great fun. Almost forgot, 'The Shadow of the Wind' by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. This is a must read.

Soul Passage

Michael J McKeown

The human soul is a parasite! The soul stealer knows this. But, what has this to do with the elixir of life?



Is anything as it seems to be?
Do you understand your soul?
Why are so many souls taken before their time by disaster, war and plague?
Soul Passage is the story of an awakening. Mike's life changes when he meets the mysterious Soriya. But, why does it change?
Later, Mike is tormented by visions he does not understand. At first he believes that he may be going crazy. Then, just as he feels he is getting control of things, he is accused of a serious assault and is held in a psychiatric hospital.
Meanwhile, two individuals emerge from the world Mike believed he had visited. The first, Willow, may save Mike; the other, Stump, is a danger to all he meets.
Mike’s whole family is now entwined in a deep mystery.
His escape from the hospital causes an interaction between his family and another world. Can Mike and his family prevent the disaster that looms over the whole of mankind?

I have read two chapters. I find this story charming. It is not my sort of read as you will probably guess from the way that I write. However, I was drawn into this story by the down to earth everyday problems being encountered by Maddy and her parents and the ease with which the writing flowed. Thi... view book
