Synopsis:


The Space-Travelling Microwave is the first exciting adventure in The Incredible Adventures of Timmy, Molly, & Jack series for children aged 7-10. Follow Timmy, Molly, and Jack to the depths of the known universe and beyond. Encountering weird and wonderful aliens and strange new worlds. Will they make it back in time for school? You'll have to find out.

When Timmy’s eccentric next-door neighbour asks him to see his latest and most ground-breaking scientific invention, Timmy fears the worst. It’s not like Jack’s previous inventions have been any good. Most blew up the moment they were switched on.

So when Jack presented an old microwave with a lightbulb sticking out the top, Timmy was sure he had finally gone mad. But to his surprise, this was no ordinary microwave. It was a teleportation machine that transported millions of light-years throughout the universe in a split second.

Join Timmy, along with his school friend Molly, and Jack for a trip across the stars, to strange and wonderful new worlds.

Book Reviews 

"I bought this book for my niece's birthday last week and she loved it that much it’s all she’s talking about to her friends."

"Really fab debut book from David Wade. Exciting, funny, full of imagination with an easy to follow story full of enjoyable twists and turns. Perfect for young readers, though plenty for grown-ups to enjoy too. Also, Molly is a scene stealer! (you’ll see) 5 stars."

"A great story, my kids loved it. They cannot wait for the next adventure. Highly recommend."

Canvas Rebel Interviews Reiki Master Teacher, Donna McDine

Canvas Rebel


I'm over the moon for the second time this week! 


I'm tickled pink to announce my interview by David Tan of Canvas Rebel Magazine. It was and continues to be a pure delight to connect with David in such an intimate interview, as I don't typically like to share too much about myself. I'm much better at getting to know others rather the other way around.


Special thanks goes to my metaphysical mentor, Melissa Paone Somma of the LightClub Curiosity Shoppe (Sugar Loaf and Warwick, NY) for introduction. 

Full interview at Canvas Rebel.
