CONTEMPORARY SPECULATIVE FICTION

A Man Of Many Names

A Table of Contents for a uniquely Canadian story.

In this tale set in modern day Canada, a story that could be set in any western world country, tackles the issues that are dividing countries along lines that can only be described as a battle between good and evil.

The protagonist is an immortal whose first name was simply, Guillermo. His mother is a goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Over the centuries Guillermo has had many names. His current name is Griffin Long.

His mother has charged Griffin with a new task, becoming a member of the Federal government with the purpose of bringing balance back into the country.

I wrote this story for my children and grandchildren. All of them, including the spouses of my children, find a role to play in this story. When I wrote it, I had no thought to having it published. Yet, other stories written for my children and grandchildren have been published and well received. When this series is finished, here, I will formally publish the book.

Just and additional note: I will be writing a sequel novel as the story is too important. The issues described in the story, issues which are important to the plot are just a few of our contemporary problems in the modern western world. The sequel will try to tackle other pressing issues.

Now, on with the telling of the story.
