Follow on Google News | The Lost Boy, the Doodlebug and the Mysterious Number 80Some loves are so great because they have happened before in another place, another time
‘I was heavily influenced in writing the book by my own experiences of being a gay man in London, and whilst it is not autographical it references the colourful, eclectic life that I have had,’ says Stevie. ‘I also wanted to reflect on what the affects of time travel would be on very ordinary people, not science fiction heroes.’ About the Book: During the London Blitz a young woman has a vision while reading Tarot cards of two lovers in great peril and knows it will be her destiny to help them. Meanwhile Robert, a wounded and repressed Battle of Britain pilot, dreams of happiness and of a love he believes he can never have. In another time, Charlie, a troubled little boy growing up in the repressed suburbs of 1950s South London, dreams repeatedly of the number ‘80’ and knows only that it means something terrible and evil. Elsewhere, a dark, disturbed man dreams repeatedly of Charlie and knows it is his destiny to kill him. This time-travelling tale moves between present day Dulwich, WW2 London, the gay bars of the 1970s, Eva Peron’s Buenos Aires and Glastonbury Tor in 1989. It is a tale of great love and loss, destiny, tragedy and spiritual transformation. About the Author: Stevie Henden lives in South London with Neil, his partner of 22 years, and Max, their cat. He is enchanted by the idea of time travel and real-life fairy tales and often ponders on the true meaning of life Follow Stevie on www.facebook.com/ PUBLICATION DATE 1st May 2013 ISBN: 9781780886183 Price £3.99 End
