Facebook Page - The Gribble's Gift

I would like to UPDATE everyone - It has been nearly 14 years of me telling people my book is coming, it is coming, it is coming, well it is so close now I can taste it. I am just getting the front cover to print in the colours that I would like and then everything is good to go.

So in preparation for my novels release I have set up a new Facebook Page called The Gribble's Gift. The aim of this page is to let people know the how's and why's of how I wrote the book, the reasons, the ideas, as much info as I can remember. I will also be able to let people know where they can purchase a copy of my book or get their e-book copy. If you are interested then please follow the link and I will see you there.

No Ordinary World

The world is awash with the refuse of the human race, but what if some of it could be reused?

In years gone by a place of sanctuary was required to hide from the fears infesting the mind. A world of fantasy grew all around comforting the spirit. Then imagination was not enough. It was necessary to touch what was once thought, tread the paths woven in the mind, to feel the essence of one's dreams, to walk through what was no ordinary world.

But how?

With gourds in one hand and decades of casts off from a life of hording in another, order grew. With plastic, string, balloons and more, plants, fungi and creatures appeared beneath the fingers that wove them into existence. Homes appeared, small, delicate and secretive, filled with the waste thrown away by human beings. Layers of life surrounded them. A touch of nature was added. The earthiness of the gourd embodied them with an essence that made one believe that this could all be real.

As stories began to be told through the written word, the models, entwined within, both grew in size, width and depth.

Strangers looked upon a world that was like no other. It was tactile, full of layers, it drew them in and, with their imaginations ablaze they too now wandered the paths that lay before them lost in the innocence of a childhood long since gone.
