Once Upon A Magpie Moon

Everyone knows that when a loved one dies it leaves a hollow in life. However what happens when many people die together? Wouldn't this leave deep valleys. War would leave vast canyons and sometimes these holes might form bridges back into the land of the living and there's no telling what might try to come across them.

Where do Vikings go when they die ? Valhalla or Hel...or is that just Christian propaganda? Some scholars of the old Norse religions think that it was more a matter of individual choice. What's it to be? Endless Rugby club dinners or wall to wall repeats of Eastenders. Maybe you'd prefer something different... Welcome to Niðavellir.

While the boys are away the spivs will play. There are crooks even in wartime but some crooks are worse than others. When an ancient demon becomes involved with fascist sympathisers those left behind on the home front will need all their skills to keep evil at bay..

Once in a Blue Moon is the story of one man's never-ending affair with Manchester City. Be it playing, watching or managing, Steve 'Worthy' Worthington's life in football has never been easy. Having suffered an almost fatal road accident in the week before his ninth birthday, any aspirations for glocal stardom as a player were crushed beneath the wheels of a speeding Triumph Spitfire in 1971. As a spectator he fared no better. Over the years Manchester City and England addicts have experienced many disappointments - most of which he was there to see. As manager of his beloved Sunday League club Lee Athletic, success was a word used only on the odd occasion when he persuaded his team to turn up sober and in time for kick-off. But two things that have always kept him going were his love of the local 'Indie' music scene and an ability to find humour during the darkest of times. Join him n a vivid journey that takes you into the beating heart of 1960s and '70s working class Manchester: through give decades of football (and a bit of cricket), music and people, in the eyes and ears of an everyday bloke who turned constant failure into final triumph.

One body two souls: two bodies one soul, light and shadow, separating and merging, male and female, good and evil. This story, set in the world of Blank Magic, moves from the seventeen hundreds to the nineteen eighties and tells of a quest for eternal life; by any means and at any cost. However, Time will not be thwarted so easily, and it will demand its price.

Can a pile of crystals be evil? They can, especially if they are possessed by the soul of a malevolent witch bent on destruction and revenge on the living. When they become the property of a mad aristocrat the capital becomes the domain of a monster who consumes the souls of both men and wizards; but wizards are tastier.
