by Peter Wilson
GENRE: Young Adult
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Winner
of the Bronze medal in the 2017 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards in the Pre-Teen
Fiction-Mystery category.
Something
has changed at Gregson Manor. An evil force from the family's past has returned
to upheave their lives. Jack and his cousins explore the family secrets as they
are pulled through a portal into a universe of endless worlds and
possibilities. Together, they race to escape and destroy the evil Theorden and
his followers who strive to unlock the power of the Forgotten Portal and wreak
havoc on Gregson Manor and the World.

EXCERPT
“I don’t get
why is he so interested in invading Earth.”
“Earth is quite
unique, Jack. Because its portal has been kept a secret, it has allowed you
humans to grow and thrive without the influences of magic and other
civilizations. Unlike other worlds, you haven’t spread out across the Universe
and there are now seven billion of you on the one planet. You don’t have magic,
but you have weapons that can kill hundreds of thousands of people with the
push of a button! If Theorden managed to take control of your people and
technology, and combine it with his magic, he’d be unstoppable. He would
control the Universe!”
Jack sat back
in shock. Control the Universe? He couldn’t understand why someone would want
that much power.
“Jack. If David
and Rosie went back to the Manor, they should have taken the book with them. It
isn’t safe carrying that around. Why did you three decide it should be brought
here when you split up?”
Jack shifted
uncomfortably where he sat. “We didn’t really discuss it. We didn’t really talk
about splitting up either…”
Anthrow looked
at him and then sighed. “You decided to come here alone, and didn’t tell them.
Why?”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Peter Wilson
has been writing for years. He started with short stories (many of them just 55
words long). The storylines and genres he chooses to write in are fantasy,
horror & fast paced thrillers, as that is what he enjoys reading.
A number of
years ago Peter sat down to write another short story, based on a prompt given
in an online writing competition. As the word count rose, he realized that it
wasn’t so short and it had turned into a novel: Jack Gregson & the
Forgotten Portal, which recently won a Moonbeam award. He’s currently working
on the sequel to the book, in what he plans to be a trilogy.
Peter lives
in Sydney Australia. When he’s not writing, he works in the digital world,
creating content for games, music and movie companies.
