It’s an ‘Alan’ thing…
How cool is this?
Maybe we started something? One of our wonderful UK readers, Linda, was so taken with Alan she decided to make herself one! Fabulous… even down to the hood on his jacket that won’t fit his big head…
We must confess, seeing one of our characters come to ‘life’ is an awesome thing. When that character isn’t even human, it’s universally better!
Brilliant, Linda… we want an Alan too!
Wondering what on Earth we’re talking about? If you’ve not read Daisy’s latest, ‘The Wiltingham Incident’ yet, you might be. No spoilers here, so you’ll just have to read it! Here’s a brief clue or two…
It’s hard to argue with what’s right there in front of your eyes. Daisy being Daisy, she’s still going to try!
A streak of flame spears across the night sky, and moments later something thuds into the ground in a farmer’s field just outside Great Wiltingham. Daisy and Aidan go to investigate, but before they can reach the incident, a fleet of black vehicles race past, followed by several army trucks.
Turned away before they can see anything useful, it only serves to fire up Daisy’s curiosity. The next night they sneak back to the scene, and discover a temporary building erected in the middle of nowhere, heavily guarded by armed army personnel. Undeterred, they manage to get close to the mysterious structure... and then discover a lot more than they bargained for!
‘The Wiltingham Incident’ is a laugh-a-minute story that even taxes Aidan’s galactic-sized brain, in a... well, galactic kind of way! Oh, but then someone mysteriously disappears.
Now we’re off to buy some knitting needles! Unless Toys-Are-Us decide to start stocking Alans of course…
Have a great week, be happy, and enjoy the reads.
Kind regards,
Richard, Ann, and the crew
