Seeing a stranger on the shore is normal. Actually stopping to speak to a stranger on the shore is a little unusual. When the stranger leads Neil into emotional turmoil threatening his very being; that is … very, very strange indeed.
Main Character: Neil Collins. Neil is a genuinely nice guy. Romantic, chivalrous and tender hearted certainly undeserving of the heartaches he had endured as a child and would continue to endure as an adult. He was usually quite studious, thinking very carefully about each situation, before making a final decision.
However, he does have a contradictory side to his makeup. From time to time, this gives rise to impulsive episodes often leading to chaotic and/or comic situations. So the reader is in for a shock at the chaos, and humour created, when this contradictory yet lovable characteristic is on display.
The book was written by local author Leon Franklin and is available from ‘Just The Perfect Gift’ shop in Aycliffe town centre.
