Andrea Leonard believes that television is where great actors go to die. A star of stage and screen, she fervently objects when her agent wants her to take the lead role in a television series.

Don Champp's life is in neutral. He isn't sure what he wants to do with his future, or what he wants to be... or who. When an agent tells him they have the perfect role for him, he takes the card and tries out for the part without any expectation of it turning into something more.

Ashleigh is thrust into a remote, enigmatic scientific project shrouded in secrecy.

Amidst power struggles, old connections reignited, and the discovery of chilling secrets hidden in the shadows of the old Anchor pub, Ashleigh finds herself drawn into a world where the line between innovation and danger blurs. Will she rise to the challenge, or will the weight of past and present threaten to unravel everything?

“But…?” she muttered.
“I’ve arranged for some people to come over for dinner tonight now that you are back from London.”
“Mum, you didn’t ask me if I wanted company and I made it clear that I was only staying for a few days at the most. As it happens, I have things I need to do but not here.”

Simon was smiling and Pierre, from the music store said “If I had not seen this with my own eyes I would never have believed it. I have to say that ‘Amazon’ has been reborn!”

When I was christened my parents called me Wendell.

I was a disappointment to both as I was not a sporty boy, nor was I very academically minded.

A Short Story

You probably don’t recognize the name the physicians use: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS for short. You probably know it as motor neuron disease or Lou Gehrig's disease. But by any name, it’s a death sentence. It’s genetic. It’s in my body. There is no cure. Three to four years was all I had. It advances with age, and you cannot fight aging.

Or can you?
