Mihte Lugh Book offers in December (on Kindle)

THE BOY WHO WOULD BE THE SUN

Mihte’s Quest: Kids in the Underworld is the story based on authentic legends of Lugh the most important of the Fairies. He eventually becomes the King of the Fairies.

In the Arthurian Knight’s stories, Arthur, both boy and man is based on the same benevolent character as Lugh. Instead of just creating fiction, I have developed a book series that follows a contemporary life of mankind’s saviour.

If you have not guessed it yet, Lugh is born on the shortest day of the year and hides away until he is strong enough to challenge winter and usher spring.

I have three books so far published that enter the Celtic world of the druids as no one has before. That was a world of cycles and not linear like ours there was no concept of perpetual progress.

The first book follows Jack’s realisation that he is special not an ordinary human boy, but something else. Written mainly for kid’s it is a dark fantasy, which includes many familiar characters from mythology and some new ones. If it sparks debate and understanding of that pre Roman world, it will do its job.

Having spent many years researching prophesies and Celtic myths I have just re-released on ‘Mihte’s Quest: Kid’s in the Underworld’ on Kindle. It will be on Special Offer from 5th to 11th December 2013

Beyond Mihte’s Quest

There has been frustration and a fundamental failure to enter the Celtic fairy world for centuries. I know of Celtic scholars and filmmakers who have failed to get the message out there. We have a developed animated kid’s television series pilot that has attracted interest from many broadcasters. We intend to make a feature from the book soon.

So over the next few weeks these later books will be on offer.

Mihte Lugh Series

Since the start of time the Fairies have existed, but not as you think

We have discovered the Truth from recent research.

To find out more read the below series of books about the greatest of the fairies Lord Lugh. Lugh means “Shining.”  He posses four ‘Jewels of the Land’ from his intended, the Stone of Destiny, Assal his Spear, Excalibur his Sword. The last he receives when he grows up to become “Lugh of the Long Arm”, it is a Cornucopia, which is sometimes a bowl, and sometimes a Cow, or a Sow.

Through insight, we are able to recreate this dark world of angelic forces, a world locked in an incessant war, which drives the Wheel of Life around and keeps the humans and all life safe. However, there are forces in the trinity too terrible to contemplate such as “Balor of the Evil Eye” who seeks the opposite to both Lughs.

How does the sun survive winter? The search for the child who is spring. 

Like the mouse and the elephant a boy does battle with the titanic giant of winter.

What if the druids returned to save us from ourselves. Comic and fateful.

It’s comedy, an adventure, a bizarre screenplays, an animation and it is cool!

Why  Henri and the Alien?

‘Henri and the Alien’ is one of those unique books with an outstanding story in a bizarre world. It is part Time Bandits and part Alice in Wonderland. It is not a normal children’s story: It is multi-layered, contains archetypes that adults can easily relate to and children can enjoy.

Where to find “Henri and the Alien”

Reviews:

Reviewer: “…both children and grandparents can appreciate this book.”

Lauri Foston alias Cheryl Haynes (author):”…with lots of visualization, humor, melancholy, and adventure. …a fantasy …with a touch of science fiction and has facts inserted in the comments throughout the story that stimulate the reader…”

Bettie Corbin Tucker reviewer: “I recommend Henri and the Alien as a “must read” for children who wish to share the trip to Netherworld with Henri, her classmates, Eanie Meanie, and Geegle.”

Deborah Hockenberry: “‘Henri and The Alien’ will unleash your imagination taking you with Henri on her adventures to find her real parents.”

Michael Flowers, author of  Jackal: “This is definitely an avid reader’s book.”

The Screenplay: Henrietta’s Odyssey

It is difficult to find any existing film that resembles Henri and the Alien with its unique plot. The closest comparison is Terry Gilliam’s blockbuster film ‘Time Bandits’ from the 1980’s. It shares a similar mixture of humour and pace. The ghostly children’s story ‘Spirited Away’ shares other elements including transitions and character types with the book. Other films with less obvious similarities; are ‘Alice in Wonderland’ for its humour, ‘The Neverending Story’ for its depiction of school life, and ‘Police Academy’ for it situational stupidity. Fifty percent of ‘Henrietta’s Odyssey’ depicts Henrietta’s school and home life the rest is scenes of pure fantasy which include unique cinematic effects.

Animation

Many years ago, a commissioning editor suggested making the book into a great cartoon. Its strong characters and unusual storyline make it score high as an animation. Henrietta depicted initially as Cinderella, but within a few pages, she has transformed into a determined personality only seeking reunion with her lost parents. The character Eanie Meanie is not the normal depiction of an alien. He muddles through the bizarre human world like a man in the dark. He only half-understands to world he finds himself. Yet, when it comes to getting out of tight corners, he is at Henrietta’s side, as either himself or Arthur the artificial boy. Geegle is an archetype new to story telling. He is a bit like a leprechaun, plays a magical violin and an antihero. He endeavours to destroy everything about him until he realises Henri was the child he left as a foundling on the self-indulgent Fritzgrumpy’s doorstep. He then uses Henri to serve his ends until the final sequence when he becomes a saintly figure bring order to the world after the fall of the Black Cardinal. Henri’s nemesis is only fully revealed in the latter scenes. A disgruntled power mad Cardinal who after failing to be elected the leader of his church becomes a fallen angel seeking revenge and subservience from the human world. I think he is based upon Cardinal-Duc de Richelieu from the Four Musketeers.

The animation pilot “Who is Henrietta?”

The first appearance other than in print will be a children’s television cartoon. Work is in progress to make a sequel for the book with vivid characters and unusual happenings. The pilot should now be in production by Cannes MIPCOM, October 2010. It is a wonderful story with stronger characters than in the book who act in a way reminiscent of Tom and Jerry. The director has multiple Emmy Awards.

Can you wait?
