Time to Stop Running (novel) in Stourbridge
Time to Stop Running is a fantasy adventure novel for all ages It's available from Amazon as both a paperback and an ebook. The paperback costs £ (sterling) and the ebook cost £0.99 (sterling) or its equivalent in all other currencies. The novel tells the story of Tipsy, a hare living on an Irish offshore island who discovers he's psychic. He is assigned a special mission by the mysterious Golden Hare, spiritual leader of the Island hares. He must enter a strange and terrible land, to face enemies that make the falcon, his main predatory foe; look almost benign by comparison. Apart from Tipsy, the novel has a large cast of minor characters- including a fox, a badger, a greyhound, a temperamental cat, a slippery politician, and a gang of shady hare coursers. In writing this novel, I seek to highlight the plight of the Irish Hare, an animal renowned in song, literature, and folklore whose survival is now threatened on many fronts. Though a work of fiction, I hope it will contribute to the ongoing debate about the future of the Irish Hare and maybe get people thinking about how, as a species, we treat the other creatures with which we share this beautiful but increasingly endangered planet. The book is available from Amazon as both a paperback and ebook.
