Whilst sitting in my garden amongst the Shasta daisies one balmy summer evening, I idly watched a spider spinning a web. I was intrigued by the intricate structure, and ease of his accomplishment.

As I watched, a storyline formed in my mind. Replenishing my glass of red wine I grabbed a note book and began making notes. My mind was racing, my fingers were loaded with words and I couldn’t get them down quick enough. Eventually I decided to record the notes on my trusty tape recorder.

By the time I was half way through the bottle of red wine Shasta was born.

I then realised there was a sequel lurking within me. Another character introduced himself as Erasmus a time travelling lover with attitude. My fingers helped him achieve his time travelling and within a year the trilogy was complete.
