Old Stone Face

by David J. Wighton

Overview

Imagine a husband who had persuaded his wife to let him commit a barbaric act on her under the guise that it would save thousands of lives in the future. Imagine the same husband repeatedly committing that barbaric act as his wife tried to stop him. Imagine his wife in despair and depression as her husband continued to use her body as a laboratory. Imagine the husband chaining up his wife and starving her so that she would remain motionless during the operation. The wife disappeared soon afterwards. Her husband, Professor Richardson, told his two twins that she had run away. They believed him.

Back to current time now: Twins Lohla and Lylah have reached the age where they could contribute, willingly or not, to their father's research. But first, Granny had to give advice to Lucas, who was in love with both. Sadly, both twins dumped him. That meant that nobody was there to protect them from their father who made them disappear.

Soon, the justice delivery bus was on its way. Winnie, Granny, Doc, and Cassie learned about Richardson and were using time travel to document what he had done in his past. At the same time, a former sheriff, now working as a Toronto private detective was investigating the disappearance of the twins. He was using traditional policing techniques with the help of a university professor. It will take an army lieutenant, a Stetson salesman, and a Voodoo queen to ensure that justice is delivered.

About the Author

David Wighton is a retired educator who enjoys writing youth novels when he's not on a basketball court coaching middle-school girls. The books in his Wilizy series peek at how people lived after the word's governments collapsed in the chaos that followed the catastrophic rise in ocean levels and the disappearance of the world's last deposits of oil. Luckily today, in the 2080s, the citizens of Alberta are safe because their It's Only Fair society uses brain-bands to zap people whenever they break a rule. That way, all children grow up knowing the difference between right and wrong. Unfortunately, they're also taught that women's ankles need to be covered so that men can't see them and turn into perverts. Plus, no-one in Alberta can have babies any more because the government manufactures them in a way that ensures that no child has an unfair advantage over any other child. All of this makes sense to Alberta's dictator, but not to Will and Izzy – two teenagers who are decidedly different from everyone else.

Wighton's novels have strong teenage characters driving the plot and facing challenges that, in many respects, are no different from what teenagers face today. His novels are intended to entertain and readers will find adventure, romance, suspense, humour, a strong focus on family, plus a touch of whimsy. Wighton also writes to provoke a little thought about life in today's societies and what the future might bring. Teachers may find the series useful in the classroom and the novels are priced with that intent in mind.
