Part 1 of a 2 part seriesHave you ever wondered how close you are to something amazing? What if you were to change just one thing in your day, what then?John Chapman was an average man with an average life. One Monday morning, like many of us, he decided to ignore his alarm. The monotony of the working week could wait for a few minutes longer.A door was creaking open. The unusual series of events that were about to follow would turn his life upside-down.At first he began to doubt his memory, then it was his sanity. How can an event witnessed by so many people just disappear from their memory as though it never happened and why was John now the only one who could remember it?There is a world out there waiting for you. Maybe just one small change will open doors you never thought possible.Next time you reach for the snooze button listen for the creak. I was born in England in the late sixties. My first novel, The Nephilim Tree, I wrote after years wondering about the meaning of life (yea, I know), where we come from and why we're here. Some of the names aren't what they seem, re-arrange their letters and you'll see they have meaning too.Ripple, my second novel, is a science fiction story about a man whose life changes in the blink of an eye. It highlights how sometimes even the simplest decisions in life can lead to the biggest changes.I'm fascinated by timing of events. If you hadn't stopped to do your shoe laces up then things may have taken a very different path (or you could have just tripped up!)...I've been told I think too much, which probably shows in The Nephilim Tree. I lightened up a bit with Ripple and found it fun and fast paced, especially the ending.I've just released my third novel, Don't Disturb The Bee. It's another science fiction story but also a murder mystery with a twist...There are other C. A.Smith authors out there, and I wish them all good luck, but you'll notice my novels/stories will contain "4MCKM" on the title page.Good luck on your journey and may you enjoy reading my stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them.Carpe Diem
