Rated PG-13 by the author for very scary scenes and some French kissing

THE HOT MARBLE mixes science with the supernatural. Four people find themselves pitted against forces of evil that plan to take over two worlds. Lewis switches sides; Fred betrays everyone; Patrick wants to be the hero; and Gracie - can a little girl save the universe?

Although the story is imaginary, the science is real and so, I trust, is the supernatural.

Patrick the hero

THE HOT MARBLE opens with 11-year-old Patrick. He imagines himself a hero: "He imagined goblins swarming out of the grass to seize Gracie and him. Suddenly, he unveiled his true power: He grew tall and lean and hard, wearing a black cloak, holding a magic sword. With great swipes of its razor sharp blade, he defended little Gracie against the wicked hordes, chopping the slobbering and gibbering things into bloody pieces of green flesh . . ." (p. 7).


I want to stay like Patrick, no matter how old I get.
