Mind's Eye Cover

ISBN: 1-84685-297-8

It's September, 1989, and a pupil of Hutchinson High School in Portstewart is found dead outside his home. The police and media speculate on whether it is suicide, natural causes, or murder. Actually, none of those explanations are the truth. The pupil was killed by something that crawled from the sea; something with a terrifying and unnatural hunger, and his death is only the beginning.

As more die, three students come to learn the truth about what is killing their schoolmates. Fearing ridicule if they make their suspicions known, the three decide to hunt down the creature themselves. Only they possess the knowledge to save the other pupils. Only they know the creature's secret, and only they know how to kill it.

Question everything you believe, because things are not as they appear.

In The Reflection of my Mind's Eye

The idea for Mind's Eye came after reading The Catcher In The Rye. This excellent book about the loss of innocence and growing up spoke to me deeply and I wondered if I could write something similar but with a supernatural twist to it. So the story came to me about mixing various things that had happened to me at high school with things that are completely fictitious and thus was born Mind's Eye -- a fictional autobiography. It's up to the readers to guess which elements are true and which are made up. I'm not going to tell, but I suppose people I grew up with and went to school with, will be able to pick out various events and people. School is an awkward time for most people, when they are still trying to figure out who they are, and Mind's Eye describes this in a way that very few other books (that I've read, anyway) do. A good deed does not always equal a positive outcome in life as we all know. Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. this book is all about the difference between what you see and what is real. It's about the choices you make and what drives you to make them. What defines our hero are his motives, not how they are perceived. I think Mind's Eye will strike a chord with anyone who remembers what it's like to be a teenager.
