a bit about this book 

During the catastrophe, which threatens his world and the sheltered life he has always known, 
Young One is transported across the universe into the body of a young boy, know as Flea.

The new flea must embrace the life he has catapulted into, with its challenging relationships, while trying to make sense of what has happened.  Somehow, he must make the real Fleas’s friends believe in him and trust him, for only with their help will he have a chance of restoring balance.

Only one character from his previous life is able to communicate with him, although not all the time and not necessarily when he really needs help!  Anukh is his spirit guide, most commonly takes the earthly form of a seagull.

Despite their original cynicism and downright reluctance, the friends begin to work together.  They will need to rely on their wits and instinct to prevent a far worse disaster than anyone could have imagined.
As the adventure unfolds, the friends meet strange new creatures, not of our world, and must learn to adapt to strange new situations. They will even question what the truth is...

A Cloud of Souls

During a catastrophe, which threatens his world and the
sheltered life he has always known, Young One is transported 
across the universe into the body of a young boy, known as Flea. 
The new Flea must embrace the life he has been catapulted into, 
with its challenging relationships, while trying to
make sense of what has happened. Somehow, he must make the real
Flea’s friends believe in him and trust him, for only with their help 
will he have a chance of restoring balance. 
Only one character from his previous life is able to communicate 
with him, although not all the time and not necessarily when he
really needs help! Anukh is his spirit guide, who most commonly takes the
earthly form of a seagull. Despite their original cynicism and downright
reluctance, the friends begin to work together. 
They will need to rely on their wits and instinct to prevent a far worse 
disaster than anyone could have imagined. 
As the adventure unfolds, the friends meet strange new creatures, 
not of our world, and must learn to adapt to strange new situations.

need a toffee moment

Chili and Walnut  Toffee... and not just for Bonfire Night 

        and a great favorite with my kids  

The Hairy Plug Monster's Chili and Walnut Treacle Toffee 

(Caution this recipe will most definitely contain nuts - if you put them in)


50g Crushed Walnuts 
1/4 Fresh medium sized red chili finely chopped 
(please bear in mind you are making toffee and not a Vindaloo)
450g Soft Brown Sugar
225g Black Treacle
110g Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp Water
1 tbsp White Vinegar
  1. Place half of the butter into a heavy bottomed saucepan together with the chopped chili and crushed walnuts and warm for a few minutes on a low heat.
  2. Then add the rest of the butter, water and vinegar and heat gently until the butter has melted.
  3. Add the sugar and black treacle, allow to fully dissolve, this takes about 20 minutes.
  4. Boil the mixture to a temperature of 138°C (Not having a thermometer I take my best guess at the temperature, making sure I don't burn it)
  5. Remove from the heat, allow the bubbles to settle.
  6. Pour the mixture into a well oiled 18cm (7 inch) sandwich tin.
  7. When the mixture has cooled a little mark the surface into squares with a knife.
  8. When the toffee has cooled break it up into squares, wrap in cellophane and store in an airtight container.


That's it - it might not score any brownie points with your dentist - but your kids will love it

enjoy ......
