About the author

I love travelling (especially in Eastern Europe, Ukraine and Romania). I believe that Dawsons Creek is deeply underated. If it was allowed I would eat bacon three times a day.
I like to invent silly dances and embarrass my friends. Basketball is good, as are whales.
If any of this needs clarification, please ask.

It seems this story is not to everybody's taste, so I thought I might talk a bit more about it. It's a novella, only 15k or so, and the whole thing is set during a girl's jog along a country lane on the edge of Salisbury Plain in England.

It's the fourth time she's run along that route, and each time she's followed it she's learned a bit more about the mysteries of the area, so those discoveries from the previous runs are bled into this one.

Then there are a few bits of backstory and character, but not much, the story is too short to allow for that, it's essentially a short story with a twist...

I don't know if I just got a badly edited version but this book was horrible. I could not follow the plot. There was no linear back story. The plot jumped around so much with out any kind of flow. The book was very difficult to finish and I understood nothing of it.

Refreshing short read, with a twist I NEVER saw coming. Stonehenge is awesome. it's all about what happens on this girl's jogs through the countryside. All of the runs are woven together, and she sees some WEIRD stuff.
I'd love to know more about her, but she's got an AWESOME name.
