Author of the
Witchcraft, Science, God series.
“Witchcraft, science, God, they all exist, in the minds of humanity at least… choose what you believe.”
Overview
This is a series of science-fiction thriller books, superficially at least. It follows the exploits of a pleasantly naïve, junior doctor, who gets drawn into attempting to prove that incidents at a hospital either are, or are not, connected to witchcraft. He is a scientist, therefore magical forces are not real, but things do keep happening, especially around him, that make him question his belief system. As the series progresses, it explores different perspectives on how we should exist as the human race, the concept of how everything is linked, of how energy flows through everything - animal, vegetable and mineral and how, on this planet, that energy is finite, so we need to live in balance and harmony with all things. It looks at differing approaches to the same problems that we face, how extreme viewpoints, given any situation are unlikely to produce the right answers. It looks at the future of medicine; likely to be linked to genetics, the ethical dilemmas of altering the human genome and the possible futures of humankind. With this in mind however, it is still a story with plenty of humour, engaging characters, and I hope conveys some of the beauty and awe that Cornwall and Devon inspire: the coastlines, the moors, the history, and not forgetting the ingrained folklore and legends of this part of the world.
Dr. Will Cunningham has arrived at Whitehorse Hospital where there have been two deaths amidst some highly unusual rumours. His relaxed approach to his job and life in general, is challenged when he is asked to mentor medical student and keen surfer, Tamsin Trevelyan. Her allegations against a highly respected colleague have inflamed an already volatile situation. Will is drawn into helping her seek the justice that she feels has been denied but finds the line between science and well… the not very scientific, becoming increasingly blurred.
Hidden forces are at work, their ideology conflicting with modern society. They are taking radical actions to ensure the protection of the most precious thing that they have — that we all have.
Dr. Will Cunningham is running out of options for continuing to work at Whitehorse Hospital, particularly after the events which nearly cost both his life and that of medical student Tamsin Trevelyan. His life and relationship seem to be falling apart and the ‘episodes’ that he keeps having — odd images of the future in his head, seem to be of no practical use whatsoever… at least for him. Then a job appears from nowhere, but are there sinister strings attached?
Set against the spectacular backdrop of the moors and surf beaches of Cornwall and Devon, ancient wisdom and legend shape the past, present… and future of medicine
God is written and will be out early in 2024. Will’s struggles to come to terms with his betrayal is proving difficult and he is committed to helping Cadan Metern, but is he on the right side? Are the catastrophic events that he sees, or imagines, really coming to pass and are his actions going to prevent them occurring or is he merely the catalyst that may spell the end for mankind.
