The Amazing Adventures Of Jimmy Crikey
Contact Information
Description
Do you know that beneath the very ground on which you walk and beyond the stars above your head are more worlds than you could ever dream of?
There are monsters and witches and wizards who wield magic.
Join Jimmy's epic adventures
in worlds far across the ocean. Fear the powerful weapons that threaten to
destroy everything,
Jimmy Crikey is a brave soul
who faces some terrifying challenges. Solving mysteries and averting mayhem,
his incredible courage allows him to free up his abilities to shine and rise
above every challenge in his path, on his way to discovering why he looks so extraordinary.
With a bright red mop of unruly hair, big blue eyes, a small snub rose, pointed
ears and enormous feet, Jimmy is mercilessly bullied. He runs away to search for
a world where he can fit in.
Following a midnight flight
through the forest, he stumbles into a lost underground world called Roombelow
and magic, adventure, danger and excitement await.
Jimmy meets the little lady
who lives at the bottom of the well and doesn't know how she got there. Aunt
Ethel shows him a starship that could take him home. Jimmy comes across trolls,
little people, traders and diamonite thieves, water sprites, witches, helpful
dolphins and interplanetary warfare.
Jimmy learns the biggest
lessons of his life: what matters most is what resides within, not what you
look like from outside.
About the Author
Now retired from a technical sales role marketing toxic gas analysers I have concentrated on bringing to market four (soon to be five), stand-alone, fantasy adventures for MG children, describing the Adventures of Jimmy Crikey. My fourth in a series of Jimmy Crikey's Adventures started off life almost fifty years ago on the beach at Great Yarmouth. A few showery afternoons drove my five-year-old son and his four new friends to seek shelter in our beach tent. To keep them amused (quiet) for a while I had to tell them a story – on the hoof as we hadn't brought any books down to the beech. Almost fifty years later they are now in print via Amazon/KDP and the latest in the series is My writing starts when pick up the pen (figuratively) and just start writing with no idea where the story will ‘go'. My stories must have been influenced by Enid Blyton's Magic Faraway Tree which entertained me and my two boys over and over. As did Rupert Bear. Later, Tolkien's Fellowship of the Rings trilogy – an absolute standard and all of the Harry Potter adventures. More recently Wilbur Smith and David Baldacci's books never fail to entertain. Future projects? Just getting over the traumas of getting Jimmy Crikey's The Emerald Lake published on Amazon. As I get older things (processes) that I once raced through now take an age and without help would never reach the market. When I recover I will have a choice of three unfinished projects. Jimmy's fifth adventure has started after which, God willing, I think the memoir deserves my attention.

I sat so merry in my abode
Loving hands around me
I dreamt of such glorious days
One day i would see
I remember the day I left
My room
I closed the door behind me
One quick look again
Then walked away
The room which would always remind me
The glorious days I had dreamt
I did merrily spent
How little did I then know
Life turns on a dime
My room is now not as it was
When I closed the door
Behind me
My room now is a prison
But not how one would invision
It is one of sorrow and grief
Sadness burns into the bare walls
I catch my breath
And weep
Why did thou'st doth betray?
The room which once embraced me
I ask with riddled heart
Jagged and torn
Which wicked riddles have I thus sought?
I sit still
I am now my room
No dreams as once before
I age before my open door
In my room long ago
I sat merrily in my loving abode
Loving hands did hold me
All gone
My room and myself
Now one
Two thrust to be together
Forever
Alone
