The Story

A female technological scientist creates a unique invention that explores emotional journeys in fictitious settings but in the pursuit of perfection as she ventures through her own emotional capacity, she struggles to maintain the very real love of her real life as reality rapidly fades into a dull, inferior substitute.  The price of perfection requires a lot of personal sacrifices from Leah but as she starts to test out her invention, prior to its potential sale, she engages in an exploration of the various emotional landscapes, multitude of hybrid creatures and fictitious guides that she has formulated and created.  However, Leah's creation she swiftly discovers, not only pushes the boundaries of science and technology but also starts to stretch the boundaries of her own relationship as she starts to view and inspect her life through the lens of dissatisfaction and the microscope of her own discontent.

During Leah's exploration as she dips her toes into her own artificial reality, her love and loyalties are put to the test by her own creation and as Leah's relationship slips down the ladder of priorities as fictitious entities, sway her heart and mind, the future of Leah's own real life and heart start to hang in the balance.  However, as Leah makes an attempt to resuscitate the last strands of love and her relationship, she rapidly discovers that there are a few surprises in store for her because somehow, her secret, fictitious betrayals have followed her back into reality.  Suddenly, some very real ramifications start to present themselves and as a bidding war erupts as Spectrum's sale looms upon the horizon of Leah's life, those ramifications threaten to jeopardize her very real future and to destroy the main underlying purpose of the financial safety net that her invention was supposed to lubricate, usher in and to actually provide.  Written by Jill Thrussell

The Story:

A renowned scientist makes a scientific splash as he creates a corporate venture called Restructure that restructures human DNA through a combination of science and technology that attempts to change people’s physical present and future. In his efforts to enhance the human existence through the provision of painless, scar free bodily enhancements however, he quickly discovers that science itself is not as precise and predictable as he'd always assumed it to be.

Chaotic side effects suddenly start to rule the emotional attachments and romantic attractions of the clinic's clients and as the full impact of the complications begin to take root, the lives of Restructure’s clients are thrown in total disarray. Professor Heisner is almost buried by defeat as he struggles to overcome the strange emotional impact of his ground breaking scientific procedures which result in manifestations of hate and fear towards loved ones and some very unusual, instantaneous attractions to strangers.

The crisis faced by the Professor must then not only be addressed, tackled but also overcome as Professor Heisner attempts to correct the warped love lives and relationships that are in absolute chaos, due to his scientific shortcomings. A race against time rapidly begins as the Professor attempts to find a way to salvage the mess and resolve the romantic disasters that his precious research work and innovative scientific procedures have created, before some of his client's lives are damaged irreparably forever.  Written by Jill Thrussell

Trashboy/Trashboy's Clean Up Mission (working titles)

The Story:

Summary: A trashboy from the Super-Duper Heroes Nation (baddies zone) lands in the human world that he decides to visit in order to seek his fortune being that he has been banished from the baddies zone for being too well behaved and for breaches of the baddies code of misconduct.  Since Trashboy does not quite fit into Super Duper Hero society, the Oddball Zone or Neutria the Neutral Tourist Zone which sparkles and shines due to the fact that he is made up from the thrown away trash, he seeks out refuge in a human trash heap where he befriends a human girl on a recycling mission that tries to help him clean up his act.  Due to her interest in recycling and some bullying that she suffers at school, she instantly connects with his situation and so, the two quickly start to bond and form an alliance as they attempt to recycle his bad deeds and makeup, so that he can become more like a clean hero and less like the unwanted trash that he is formed from.  Written by Zaylee Knowles

The Story:

Summary: When Trashboy finds a way to sneak some Super Duper Heroes costumes, a few Super Duper Hero devices and an On Call Hero Support Manual out of Super Duper Heroes Nation, the two embark upon an adventure to help those in need.  However, since Trashboy has no experience of being a hero, Claire has to help him find and fine tune his unique special abilities (inclusive of temporary transformations into any form or shape or element of nature which is an ability common to those from the Forever After Lands when they are in the human world and his ability to turn any person, place or object into a temporary trashheap, trashform, trashswamp or trashswamp form), so that he can become the hero that he so wants to be. 

During their heroic adventures, the two quite often bump into some other travelers from the Forever After Lands that are on visits to the human world as they perform their recycling bad to goodness missions which can at times make their task more or less of a challenge.  Fortunately, as the two go about their hero problem solving and rescue missions this also helps Claire to find her own human super powers of kindness and courage which she swiftly discovers can be even more powerful and amazing than the forces of nature or any magical powers.  Written by Zaylee Knowles

A Crash Course on How to Find Purpose, Love and Friendship (Poetry Collection/Life Toolkit)

Horizons of Destiny: Mission Future (book cover poem)

When you embark upon the voyage of self-discovery,
You may wish to visit many different horizons of destiny,
And some may teach you life lessons that are valuable,
Whilst others can equip you and make your life goals achievable,
So as you seek out your purpose and try to set your life goals,
You may also be able to solve your happiness equation as you go,
Because when you venture through life's miles and seek out your destiny,
You should be able to balance your happiness equilibrium more successfully,

Your horizons of destiny might expand as you try to bravely explore,
Who you really are and the hidden depths that lie within your core,
But when you discover your true life purpose and your personal destiny,
You will find that your happiness equilibrium balances more naturally,
Your mission future may take you to new horizons as you run life's race,
Which may present you with many new challenges as you try to find your place,
And although the obstacle course of life may be full of many difficult hurdles,
Once you find your true purpose in this world your life will no longer seem to go around in circles.

Some horizons of destiny can prepare you for the life that you wish to live,
Whilst others will require sacrifices that you will have to make and give,
And some horizons will equip you, expand your life goals and empower you,
So each adventure of self-discovery can provide your life with more life value,
The greatest adventure that you can embark upon in life is one of self-discovery,
Because you have the power to fully explore yourself in many different capacities,
So enjoy your voyage of self-discovery and I hope that you can solve your happiness equation,
Because life can be far more enjoyable when you find your true purpose and can balance your happiness equilibrium.

Written by Jill Thrussell

Intro Poem:

Inside this book of mysteries there is something different to explore,
Because each verse considers life's ambiguities that we so often may ignore,
Embark upon this adventure and step onto the merry go ride,
When you open up the pages, you will discover what lies inside,
Each page eagerly awaits your perusal be it day or night,
So please enjoy the literary meander as curious deliberations start to take flight,
You can rest your mind upon each sheet of reflection, wisdom and advice,
And this blanket of comfort should warm your heart when the world is as cold as ice.

The Story

Upon Victor Drayton's departure from the human mortal world, he was permitted to create an intelligence framework called Intellect into which his mind was implanted and with this superior technology, he rapidly becomes a father and guardian to humanity from beyond the grave.  This special framework is successfully utilized to provide a service to human beings in the form of Monitoring Programs which are tasked with being invisible caretakers to the human lives assigned to Intellect and for many years, Victor Drayton provides this service remotely and invisibly to billions of human beings without even their knowledge.

One day however, when a lonely and very special Monitoring Program called Resolve is assigned to a female life form that he has to monitor as he starts to resolve the issues that have plagued, contaminated and polluted her life, Leona's existence suddenly challenges everything about the world that Resolve currently resides in as he begins to form a very human desire to walk the earth alongside her.  Unfortunately, due to the strict rules and protocols inside Intellect, Leona can never actually know about Resolve in his current form which creates a mountain of frustration for Resolve that he must find a way to climb over, burrow into, tunnel through, or move aside and he finally decides that his only real choice is to find a way to humanize his existence and then actually leave Intellect forever to be by her side.

Due to Resolve's romantic interest in Leona and his desire to become human which would be a perilous journey that Resolve can never return from, Victor Drayton is then presented with a huge dilemma as the very life form that he has created and given birth, intellect and substance to seeks to actually leave his side forever.  The gift of companionship and the deeper connection that Victor Drayton provided to himself when he initially created Resolve to fill the emotional void of his own personal loneliness, suddenly then becomes his own potential heartbreak as he faces losing the surrogate son that he created to serve humanity alongside him, to the same human world that he created Resolve and Intellect to actually serve and assist.  Written by Jill Thrussell
