CHASING THE DARK

Joe’s mum is dead. Killed in a hit-and-run car crash, along with someone he’s never heard of. Angry and alone, Joe takes his dog for a late night walk. He finds himself at the gates of an empty mansion: a house of glass belonging to an old movie star. And it’s here that Joe unlocks the dangerous mystery of what happened that night.

QUICKSILVER

Dark powers from the past are searching for three extraordinary chilren… Wolfie, Tala and Zi’ib were born on the same day on opposite sides of the world. They are brought together by astonishing coincidence – or so it seems. But only they can fulfil an ancient prophecy – and find a treasure of incalculable power. Can the mysterious energies that flow through the Earth’s prehistoric leylines be controlling their lives? And will they discover the chilling truth of who they really are?

Written as Sam Osman.

SERPENT'S GOLD

Dark streams of energy have been unleashed through ancient leylines. An evil presence manifests itself in the shadows of a London suburb. Wolfie, Tala and Zi’ib have already discovered their blood ties with a world beyond their own. Now they must fight an enemy determined to exploit the natural powers of the planet for their own destructive ends. One of the most original fantasies to have been published for years.

Written as Sam Osman.

The course was really useful. It took away some of the fear factor.
