Remains of the Past

Six years after the fall of modern civilisation, a wandering survivor Maja, meets an adaptive and highly resourceful survivor, Max. She persuades him to escort her to a known group of survivors where they can both build a future. A tentative, romantic relationship forms between them, but Maja's disinterest in a deeper relationship and her unethical choice of punishment for those men who have abused women, causes Max to reconsider his future at her side.

Auteur

Stephen was born and raised in the home counties of England. After many years in the flavour and fragrance industry, latterly as a buyer for a multinational German company, he emigrated to Austria and pursued a career in teaching. Writing came late in life. Inspiration for his stories is drawn from an interest in the supernatural and their settings from a love of the countryside. The landscape of the Austrian 'wine quarter' has found its way into The Last Chapter, Remains of the Past & Helping Hands and its town architecture in The Realm. The setting for An Angel's Wish, his first novel and the first of the Three Wishes stories, can be found in what he considers to be the most beautiful part of the English countryside, an area of the Chilterns overlooking the river Thames on the Berkshire / Oxfordshire border. These are stand-alone stories and may be enjoyed independently of one another.
