    About this ebook

    This book is a rollercoaster of rhyme. It will take you on an emotional ride. Real life and fantasy share the same pages. The author will make you laugh and cry. He will also make you angry, but he’ll make you think of life in a different way. There is something for everyone. Children will meet a few new friends. Throughout it there is love. Beauty also abounds, but so do drugs and war. The facts of life are here to see. They will torture your mind with all the suffering today. The self-inflicted misery that people bring down on themselves goes hand in hand with peace and the impossible. The beliefs of man cause his destruction, but there are lessons to be learned. We can escape the doom and gloom as we turn each page. You will be entertained by it all until you reach the end.​

    Robert Dotchin

    Robert Dotchin was born in 1951 in Shropshire, England. His father was Scottish, and his mother was half-English and half-Irish. He moved to Canada with his family in 1957 and returned to England in 1967. He worked in various jobs for four years, then joined the Royal Air Force for nine years. After a short time as a warehouse operative, he was promoted to chargehand and then supervisor. He left to drive a truck for many years, returned to warehousing in his fifties and retired when he was sixty. That’s when Robert started writing poetry, thrillers, science fiction, and children’s stories. He had dozens of ideas but decided to publish a poetry book called A Savoured Embrace first. His second book is a thriller called Two Roads to Hell. The Upside-Down World is his third and Science Fiction and Fantasy is his fourth. He’s working on a science fiction series of books and another book of thrillers, which will also be short stories. His wife Denise makes reproduction porcelain dolls and clothes. They have been married for twenty-three years. Between them, they have six children and fourteen grandchildren. Robert spends one hour of every day walking through the wilds of Bedfordshire with Angel, their black German Shepherd. It is there that he witnesses the sights and sounds of Mother Nature close-up. Sometimes it’s wild, but it’s always beautiful. At weekends the regime is not as bad; he catches up with correspondence and socialising with family and friends. He is a reasonably good card player and became a club master at duplicate bridge. He loves to make people laugh with his zany sense of humour and impersonations. When Robert wakes up, it’s as if he’s on a mission which needs his full attention. Of course, the goal is writing. There is so much to do and so little time to do it. That’s why he works seven days a week. He sometimes wakes up and writes down ideas that he just thought of or dreamt. It might be the first one or two lines of a new poem or an idea for a story. Inspiration is at its best in the morning. Writing means an endless quest for information, which leads him down new and fascinating roads where he learns incredible facts about the universe, our world and the people in it.
