Silently and without warning, the first wave swept away civilisation. On a carefree Sunday morning in early June, most of the world's population suddenly died, falling instantly dead where they stood. There was no opportunity to express any loving sentiments and no famous last words to fill future history books, just silence. A second wave one week later reduced the number of survivors still further. Nearly six years had passed before Max and Maja joined a group of survivors in Weyhill Castle. Their differing skill sets ensured them a warm welcome and gained them respected positions within the community. As lovers, they became the couple everyone expected to see united in marriage, but not long after joining them, Max unexpectedly left. There were no goodbyes, no note and no explanation, just an empty bed and a bewildered Maja. Five months later, with the first snow of the season lying on the ground, Max returned, leading two survivors and their baby to the safety of Weyhill Castle, and was, contrary to his assurances to his fellow travellers, seriously ill
Autorenporträt
Stephen was born and raised in the home counties of England. After many years in the flavour and fragrance industry, latterly as a buyer for a multinational German company, he emigrated to Austria and pursued a career in teaching. Writing came late in life. Inspiration for his stories is drawn from an interest in the supernatural and their settings from a love of the countryside. The landscape of the Austrian 'wine quarter' has found its way into The Last Chapter, Remains of the Past & Helping Hands and its town architecture in The Realm. The setting for An Angel's Wish, his first novel and the first of the Three Wishes stories, can be found in what he considers to be the most beautiful part of the English countryside, an area of the Chilterns overlooking the river Thames on the Berkshire / Oxfordshire border. These are stand-alone stories and may be enjoyed independently of one another.
