  This first collection of tales by Rosalie Parker contains eight stories that explore the uncanny in the modern world. As Glen Cavaliero observes in his introduction, "like all good stories of the preternatural, these in The Old Knowledge have a subversive effect." In them, "the world of logical, predictable reality is seen to be at risk from rejected modes of knowledge which can thwart the materialist and victimise those innocents who stumble into another order of reality."
  Contents: Chanctonbury Ring / In the Garden / Spirit Solutions / The Cook's Story / The Old Knowledge / The Picture / The Rain / The Supply Teacher.

  After Fort Dodge, wagon master Bruce Cowan had hoped the journey to Wagon Mound would get easier. That lasted but a few days. 
   
   
   
  It horrified the settlers when they came across the burning remains of a smaller wagon train. Not one survivor. Bandits attacked this time, not Indians. 
   
   
   
  Every day brings a fresh crisis. Trent and Pat, the McLeod brothers, with their gun fighting skills, provide Bruce and the wagon train protection and much needed guidance. Sometime even that isn't enough when they face mother nature at her most destructive. 
   
   
   
  The savage Comanches are on the warpath. The Arapahos are also on a killing spree since the massacre of Sand Creek. Trent and Pat do their best to avoid these threats. When attacked, many times by surprise, there are deadly consequences. 
   
   
   
  Throughout it all, Trent tries his best to get closer to Becky Cowan. Just when he thinks things are going well, something else comes up to drive a wedge between them again. 
   
   
   
  The settlers must remain on guard at all times as obstacles confront them. Will the Cowans reach Wagon Mound or perish in the desert as others have before them? Should they continue their perilous journey west or leave the trail and set up their homestead?

  Adam & Eve - Pscychedelic...

  ADAM & EVE – Psychedelic Promise 1965 London 
  Book 1: The Summer of Colour 
  This first book of six is summarized as follows: 
  In the summer of 1965, shy, artistic Adam meets bold, free-spirited Eve at a Soho music club. Drawn together by their shared love of art and music, they explore London’s vibrant counterculture, from Carnaby Street’s mod fashion to underground jazz clubs. Eve introduces Adam to her eclectic friends, including a beat poet and a feminist activist, opening his eyes to a world of rebellion and creativity. At a secret psychedelic art exhibition, they experience the mind-bending thrill of first love and self-discovery. As the summer ends, they promise to face the future together, despite the looming pressures of family expectations and societal norms. The Summer of Colour captures the magic of youth, the freedom of the 1960s, and the beginning of a transformative journey for Adam and Eve. 
  This is the first of six audiobooks in the series and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 1/2 minutes, called Electric Pulse, and prepares you for the start, synthesizer, bass and cymbals in a soul/funk form. The closing music, called Full Motion, ends the tale on a darker tone and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added. 
  The story itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice. 
  I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!
