    Alan Place

    I have wanted to be a writer since I learned to read. My reading ability was always at the top of the class and this developed into the talent for storytelling.  In 2011 an injury to my left leg left me disabled and I finally got the opportunity to try to write. The first stories I had published were in a US available only anthology.  The Ghost of St. Mary's and The Rocking Lantern were not only the first published, but the first I wrote. Later that year, I had Old Church Ghosts published on line in the UK. The original version is only availlable in the Special Edition version.  I made my on line reputation for ghost stories, but I also write for the children's charity books by The Peacock Writers. In 2012, my book Chronicles of Mark Johnson won an award for excellence from the US on line magazine  indiePENdents.org. Both this book, and its sequel Wharfemere Finale had rave reviews from New York reviewer, Fran Lewis. In recent times, my US hit series Forgestriker has sold over 350 e-books in the seven books series, and earned me a reputation for writing sci-fi in the USA.

      About the Author

      The guns of the warships laid down covering fire, and the ground cannons poured shells into the fortress for days, but inside the remaining members of the peoples of Cartinor, and a few rebels from the planet Ferron held out.

      The three women from Ferron were the last of their tribe. They'd arrived in an old spacecraft to warn the people of Cartinor of the invasion by the Plamindar Shock Regiment. The craft got shot down, and the women fled into the woods, before making their way to the camps of Andreas Tarrit

      There was no need for the warning, Andreas, and his tribe was already involved in hand-to-fighting in the castle with the regiment when the craft got spotted in the sky.

      Andreas glanced at the remains of the ammo in the pile in front of them, and said, "We have nothing to lose, surrender is not an option. We can't take them by force, so, the time has come to fight our war on our terms. These men
