"Following your dreams can change not only your life but the future of the human race..."

Synopsis

How would you feel if you got caught up in a secret so vast it threatened everything the world had come to believe?

That’s what happened to John Milburn, computer science lecturer, orphan, husband and father, who lived an ordinary life in Haverhill, Suffolk, England.

That is, until the dreams started…

From the idyllic calm of Cambridge, John Milburn is drawn to the dust and the heat of Jericho.

Thrown into danger and intrigue, he discovers more than he'd bargained for.

'A wowser of a tale that is exciting and thought-provoking with a cast of characters you'll fall in love with. Inspired by Biblical events, historical finds, theories and the author's own strange imagination.'

My Review

Something about this blurb just drew me in and I had to give this a read and now I am so very glad i did.

While I love a good twist and turn book some of my favourites set away from the normal crime element are the adventure type the whole secrets and something bigger in life just appeal to me when reading.

This book is all that and more i loved the historical and biblical connections in this tale as a spoiler free reviewer I am finding it hard to keep this light and not reveal too much as everything is connected!

We meet John was living a normal life, a good husband and father to twin daughters. Until the dreams start and his daughters start having the too, based around an ancient prophecy.

From here we are taken on a thrilling journey, moving between the past and the present with such history and tension that you feel something huge is going to happen and the twists were not only felt by me as a reader but experienced by John and his family though the emotions they have are fantastic.

In the end this is a thought provoking story that felt very real, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and taking with me that we all have a destiny.

Author Bio

Shelley Clarke was born into a naval family in Kent in 1958, and consequently moved house a lot as a child. She had ambitions to follow in her father's footsteps and join the Royal Navy, and to become a carpenter, but these were not female occupations at that time.

So she learned to type... which has come in jolly handy for putting her stories first onto paper, and now onto screen.

Shelley is a keen painter, poet, and karaoke enthusiast; she loves mad family get-togethers, hates olives, ironing and gardening, and currently lives in Devon with her husband Kev, and their two Tibetan Terriers Nena and Pepi, who make them smile every day.

Shelley often forgets she is a grown-up.

Children of Sinai is Shelley's debut novel. The story had been bouncing around her head for many years, and putting it down on paper has been the hardest thing she's ever had to do. She certainly could not have got through this experience without a lot of cursing and chocolate!
