About Colton’s Time Machine (Series 1 – 4)
Have you ever wished you could travel back in time? Well, so does Colton! So he decided to invent a way to make time travel possible.
As much as I enjoy writing the Colton’s Pocket Dragon books, I also wanted to create another magical series continuing these stories, which would give young readers a little knowledge of history.
The new series: Colton’s Time Machine books are a spin-off from the original Colton’s Pocket Dragon books. Colton felt it was time his dragons get a little education about history, so he built a machine, which would take all of them back in time.
From now on, Colton will be one busy little boy, finding and caring for eggs until they hatch then going off on fun filled flying adventures in Colton’s Pocket Dragon books. Colton will then climb into his time machine, in the Colton’s Time Machine books, traveling back in time to important events and meet famous people.
I hope you will enjoy reading and learning along with the dragons while Colton teaches them history.

THE WICHLEES COME TO EARTH, by Bumble B Moss and Peter C. Rabbit
About the Book
We are writing to you from the beautiful coastline of Aberdyfi in mid Wales, and as authors of a beautiful children’s book we both thought that this may be of interest to your readers.
The characters of the book hail from another planet, Bangy-Bong, a tiny little unknown planet somewhere within uncharted space within a vastly unknown universe…..
Indeed, they regularly visit Earth in order to swap things with people…..but sometimes the items they purvey aren’t always met entirely with approval..
They are innocent characters with big hearts and have a lot of love within them.
Our book, which is now available for purchase across the USA, UK, Canada, Australia as well as Portugal and the Netherlands has just hit the book shops world wide.
In “The Wichlees Come To Earth” we hear about Pegerty, Gwindleberry and Warty Conk, who come to Earth one day in order to collect “Parpzees” (Bottom Wind!), bat poo and lollipops.
They are rather peculiar characters –
with some very strange and stinky habits – who reside on Bangy Bong, an extremely small planet somewhere far, far away. There is nothing stranger in the whole of the galaxy than a Wichlee!
However, things go awry when Gwindleberry encounters the curmudgeonly Mister Crumble …
So, why did we write this book?
As children, Bumble B. and I were fortunate enough to have had at our fingertips books that inspired our imagination. Now, we feel that it is time to address this gift and pay it forward to the future generation.
Not only is this a funny, fantastical adventure for children, but also for parents reading it with them; after all, the most magical music a child can hear is the sound of a parent’s laughter followed by a precious “Goodnight; I love you.”
Sweet dreams and good adventures!

THE PALE TIGER, by Mike Harrison
About the Book
A fading sheet of A4, buried in the vaults of an intelligence service on the other side of the world? Or perhaps it was only ever a myth, a cold war legend…
But maybe ‘The Pale Tiger’ is horribly real, a brutal audacious plan to visit a deadly revenge with breath-taking historical symmetry.As an American and a Chinese warship collide in the storm-lashed South China Seas the world holds its breath. Trade and territorial tensions between the two superpowers have been escalating at an alarming rate and this latest crisis threatens to strain already fraught relations to breaking point.
In the US, still gripped in an epidemic of opioid abuse, the corridors of Washington hum with intrigue. Rival factions at the very heart of the intelligence complex fiercely pursuing their own agendas, but to what end?
In London, a strange death at a leading Global Hedge Fund attracts the attention of DI Anne Perry. She suspects foul play, but someone has covered their tracks well. She senses something, stalking the elegant corridors of high finance – something worth killing for.
MI6 also has this same Hedge Fund in their sights and Emma Wilson is dispatched to Hong Kong trailing one of the fund’s principals. There, she makes a shocking discovery that will change everything. As the world thunders towards the precipice of war, erstwhile enemies must forge an unlikely alliance to uncover the conspiracy that threatens to engulf the globe in conflict. Who is The Ringmaster? And what is Operation Pale Tiger?
The Pale Tiger can be ordered from: Amazon | Echo Point Books & Media LLC
