Author and eccentric

Dominated by horses and ships, 400 years in the future looks like 200 years in the past. School friends NutJob, KristalClear and MaxChaos grow up in a world with no oil, no cars and no internet.

Helped by the local community, they are making plans with HayWire, BarmyWaffle and TedTalker to counter the pirates from WorringFolk, aiming to stop them from disrupting trade on the Irish Sea.

Demi-real demi-dystopia with easy-going juvenile humour!

Her preference is a well balanced rapier, and her own weapon has a beautiful ornate handle. Quite unusual for a pirate! Most of them prefer a knife, and some of the heftier pirates carry … <a href="https://www.slenderwolf.com/novels/characters/slender/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Slender"</span></a>

Book 2 Mr Collins

Mr Ralph Collins (aged 36) is the popular science teacher at Broadland Park High School. His personal passion is the solar system, and if you can get him talking about space travel there’s a chance that he could run out of time to teach an actual science lesson. He knows that his students try this … <a href="https://www.slenderwolf.com/novels/characters/mr-collins/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Book 2 Mr Collins"</span></a>

Taller and much wider than BlackCloud, BlackDog is about three times his bulk. And three times more stupid! Which explains why he’s never become a captain, but it doesn’t explain how he ever became first mate! He’s been injured a few times and walks with a weird gait, but it’s not quite a limp.
