Welcome to THE SWIDGERS
Time Adventure Book Series

Luckily though he is joined by a wise yet slightly dotty lady by the name of ‘Granny’, whose antics in the tale are often hilarious! But Granny comes with a warning too, for she explains to William that now there’s been “an attack” he’s not longer safe.

After a visit to a very odd chap called ‘Echo’ and a bewildering and laugh-out-loud funny evening at a Parent Teacher Meeting, Granny and William embark on a mystical journey to the strange and terrifying Old Coach Inn. And it’s here where our young hero must defeat the menacing Aloysius in order to save all who live there from being trapped in Time itself.

Will William learn the true nature of his gift? And can he evade the dark force that would use his powers for evil? All will be revealed… IN TIME.

Praise for Swidgers from Writers and Novelists

"A rambunctious riot of a book with a totally unpredictable plot – I never knew where I was going to be taken next! Granny is a joy of a character; delightfully irreverent with wicked one-liners." Joseph Elliott, author of The Good Hawk, The Broken Raven and The Burning Swift

"We see this wonderful adventure through William’s eyes and share the adrenalin rush from his perspective. This is a great story for YA readers and grown-ups who, like William, find themselves caught up in the whirlwind of life. I loved it!" Sonia Beldom, author of Granny Franny’s Big Red Bus

"Grabs you from the beginning and doesn’t let go. Steve is a master mimic and uses all his skills to create a powerful and dramatic tale of mystery!" Rory Bremner, BAFTA winning writer and performer

"Exciting, often very funny and always gripping, this is a book about adventures in time – Past, Present and Future. And in the future? Well, the good news is that there is already a sequel on the way." William Palmer, author of The India House and The Good Republic
