The Price of Time
by C. L. Spillard
Part 1 of the Verity Player adventures series
Some people have a Guardian Angel. Others aren't so lucky and have a Guardian Devil.On the first night of autumn, Yorkshirewoman and lifelong green campaigner Verity Player comes face-to-face with Lancastrian evil genius Stan 'Satanic' Mills, who has been stalking her throughout her adult life.She recognises him from an incident in her youth. He's the mastermind behind the spread of an idea so simple - and so fundamental to everyday living - that few people would think to question it.But Verity has long ago grasped its infernal logic. She knows it as the mechanism that lurks behind humanity's apparent death wish. And now, facing its creator, she's the only mortal who can fight to make him halt it before its final, devastating phase.Her struggle pitches her into a surreal game. Desperate, she bargains for a sporting chance.But this comes at a price: the forfeit of her precious conscience if she fails to strike the first blow by New Year. C.L. Spillard is a complex interplay of matter and energy in a pattern of waves whose probability cloud is densest in York, United Kingdom.Following the profound influence, in a mysterious process not yet fully understood by science, of the NASA moon landings on the young pattern's quantum-based self-awareness mechanisms, C.L. Spillard developed an interest in Physics and the plight of life on our small, blue spheroid.A career in scientific research beckoned, including complex calculations of what happens to radio-waves being sent through the atmosphere by people who wish to talk to each other.This included studying the weather – which brings us right back to the plight of life. C.L. Spillard has among other things dropped dead in Downing Street for Greenpeace, sat in a flooded tent on Solsbury Hill in an attempt to fight off a motorway, and planted more trees – sometimes under cover of darkness – than you can shake a stick at.C.L. Spillard's wave-pattern enjoys proximity to a second pattern originating in St Petersburg (Russia), and these two have since generated two younger ones who are now diffusing over the planet stuffing themselves with knowledge as if it were going out of fashion. She came face to face with her guardian Devil.She defied him.Now she must fight the plans he has for humankind, but not lose her true self.

Verity realises, on New Year's Day morning, that the events of the previous night can mean only one thing: Stan Mills will be seething, and out for revenge.She needs powerful allies, and fast.She travels to the U.S.A. as volunteer for the country's top psychologists: they need someone with a heart problem like hers for their gruesome, dangerous experiments probing the nature of Evil.She knows Mills will follow her, and hopes that together she and the scientists can defeat him.But once in their basement laboratory she discovers The Professor isn't who he says he is, the staff are psychopaths, and no-one expects her either to sleep or ever leave.No-one, that is, except sinister Colonel Herz. He believes she holds the key to an interrogation technique that's impossible to resist and which, she soon finds out, plays a crucial role in the fate Mills has in mind for the U.S.A.: the country he calls 'The Evening Lands'...

The Twisted Grain
by C. L. Spillard
Part 3 of the Verity Player adventures series
He tried to destroy her mind.Now she must face him again-when she believed him dead.The day after arriving home from the terrifying internment camp whose prisoners she had been sent to interview Verity is confronted, in her home, by its chief interrogator, Reid-the man who subjected her to his memory-obliterating invention the Inverse Polygraph.But something seems to have changed in him.In an apparent gesture of reconciliation, he offers to work with her to rid the world of an environmental menace-one which, he found out at the Camp, she abhors.She agrees.But lurking in her mind is a suspicion: Reid's plan is so tempting-so perfect-that she suspects it could only have been hatched by her long-term nemesis, Stan 'Satanic' Mills, in an attempt to subject humanity to a new peril and create more fear-the fear on which he feeds...
