It all began for Mike Travis with a helicopter crash in war-torn Afghanistan that resulted in his being declared clinically dead; before expert combat medics brought him back to life. But he came back with a gift. He could see ghosts. These five short stories bridge the gap between what happened in the immediate aftermath of the crash to his arrival in Crowsmoor, Cornwall, where his help has been summoned in an effort to prevent the return of an ancient evil. "Beginnings" charts his progress from his first encounter with a ghost to his becoming a recognised investigator into all things paranormal. For readers of the series, these five short stories will be familiar territory. If you haven't yet met Mike, "Beginnings" can be read as a stand-alone collection of short stories. Or it may just invite you into Mike's paranormal world.
