About the Book
The story of two friends who explore a cavern that one of them fell into by accident. But as they travel further into the tunnels that lead off the cavern they find a way through a small gap to a much bigger and better cavern. As they are climbing in they also find a package on ledges above the exit from the gap, which is high in the cavern roof.
They are soon discovered by local warriors who live nearby. At first they think they are outcasts who's leader has stolen a ceremonial dagger. When Donald tells Mark that the package that they found contains the stolen dagger he has to convince Kale the warrior leader that they found the dagger and will return it. However this turns out to be more difficult than they thought as the local bully Neil has found the dagger after he saw Donald hide it. After a great deal of trouble they manage to retrieve the dagger and return it. But later when they try to return to visit again they find the outcasts have taken over the village and the warriors have had to escape.
Mark and Donald along with Donald's sister Lyndsey (Who threatened to stop them going if she was not allowed to go with them) help some warriors left behind in the hills. Mark helps them as they re-join the rest of the villagers and attempt to re-take their village from the outcasts. Mark also finds out from Kale information that helps him work out where he and his friends are and how they got there.
Mark also finds a way to make future visits easier but of course there are always drawbacks.
About the Author
I am 44 years old. I now live in Aldridge west midlands but was born in Willenhall West Midlands where I lived for 25 years. I am married and have three sons. I have had several jobs. When I left school I started work as a T.V. repairman with a T.V. rental company. Unfortunately the company was sold after 2 years and I became a delivery driver for a fastner company. This was lucky as the new company made everyone at the T.V. rental company redundant.
After less than a year I trained and became an ambulanceman, which I did for some 6 years. Since then I have worked for several delivery companies, and as a special needs bus driver. I now work as a security officer. This is the first time I have attempted to write a story since leaving school but if it is successful I would like to write more as I have many more Ideas.
