The
boy watched the star fall. It fell very slowly, and it was not one light but a
multitude of lights spinning lazily through the night sky. Then great silver
fish flew through the sky and other mysterious lights began to appear on the
mountain. At last a great thunderbolt struck the ocean. The sound was flat and
hollow and unbelievably loud, as if a giant had stamped on the earth. And the
sign of the Goddess appeared in the sky – the sign
of the Sacred Mushroom. These
are the events that mark the arrival of the Atlantis, the doomed starship, bringing
new gods who would change the life of the boy and his people forever.

Bio
Jenny
Twist was born in York and brought up in the West Yorkshire mill town of
Heckmondwike, the eldest grandchild of a huge extended family.
She
left school at fifteen and went to work in an asbestos factory. After working
in various jobs, including bacon-packer and escapologist’s assistant (she was
The Lovely Tanya), she returned to full-time education and did a BA in history,
at Manchester and post-graduate studies at Oxford.
She stayed in Oxford working as a
recruitment consultant for many years and it was there that she met and married
her husband, Vic.
In 2001 they retired and moved to
Southern Spain where they live with their rather eccentric dog and cat. Besides
writing, she enjoys reading, knitting and attempting to do fiendishly difficult
logic puzzles.
She has written two novels - Domingo’s Angel – a love story set in
Franco’s Spain and harking back to the Spanish Civil War and beyond - and All
in the Mind – a contemporary novel
about an old woman who mysteriously begins to get younger
She has contributed short stories to
many other anthologies, of which two – Doppelganger
and Uncle Vernon have been released
as short ebooks.
Other works include the Mantequero series:
novellas about a Spanish mythological figure, and An Open Letter to Stephen King & Other Essays, a compilation of
non-fiction essays and articles.
Her new novella, The Minstrel Boy, will be published in
the anthology Letters from Europe in
the spring of 2016.
