"Being in the wrong place at the wrong time has never been so dangerous..."
Gordon Turnley is a zoology student at the University of Norfolk and when he is offered the chance to join the prestigious Hart Foundation in their research expedition to a conservation site on a Panama island chain, he jumps at the chance. However, he has no idea of the dangers that await him...
Where Sleeping Dogs Lie: Part One is the first book of a two-part story based on an old YouTube series I created called Explorer Chronicles. A Sci-Fi Thriller, the story follows Gordon Turnley; a twenty-five year old zoology student as he stumbles into someone else's plans for revenge, and finds himself fighting to survive against a perfect killing machine.
I began writing the story for Where Sleeping Dogs Lie a couple of years back now, but initially struggled to organise my ideas and manage my time enough to actually get it written. However, with the urging of my wife, Rachel and a new-found determination to tell the story I always dreamed of, wheels are finally in motion to bring the novel to readers.
Explorer Chronicles was my most popular video series on YouTube, and grew more and more complex as time went by. However, I was not happy with the story ultimately, and looking back at it now there are too many plot holes and cheesy writing to be good. Also, the fact that the story was made up as I went along did not help. Still, I felt like there was real potential to some of the characters I had created, and I really wanted to tell a thought-out, intense and tight story based around them.
So if you are interested in learning more about Where Sleeping Dogs Lie, and want to keep up to date with the latest news and developments about the writing of the first novel, then this blog is the place for you. I aim to keep this page updated regularly, and to post other items such as a general 'Writer's Blog' and maybe even some behind the scenes information too!
