James "Crusoe" Robinson in...
The Wintonesia Escapade




If you like your Fantasy with a wry touch of humor and you can bend your mind round three talking monkeys, a heroine with attitude (and a lethal backhand) and more dusky maidens than surely should be allowed then read on...



The Wintonesia Escapade introduces us to James 'Crusoe' Robinson, intrepid explorer and part time hero, as he becomes washed up on the south sea island of Wintonesia following the shipwreck of his yacht, The Celestial Marie.

...He pulled his Swiss army knife from his pocket and with some difficulty -and the loss of two fingernails - managed to extract the saw blade. He looked at the blade, he looked at a palm tree, he looked at the blade again. "Pants," he shouted, "this is going to take forever."




Discovering that he's not alone on the island he becomes embroiled in a local power struggle between the reigning monarch, King Tumbo and his quasi-religious advisor, The High Priestess Leah.

...By the time the High Priestess Leah and Topliss entered the clearing from one end King Tumbo`s wedding procession was entering from the other. The procession was meant to look impressive. It certainly tried to. It totally failed.


King Tumbo’s unwilling wife-to be-has other ideas however and she enlists Crusoe’s help in stealing a sacred bottle, possession of which will enable her to become Queen of Wintonesia in her own right.

...Friday's elder sister Tuesday let out her breath and counted to ten slowly.

"Well you can`t marry Arnold Schwarzenegger, you`ll marry King Tumbo and like it or lump it."

She thought about this for a second, "possibly both," she added.

Needless to say, the High Priestess Leah has other ideas......

And King Tumbo isn't going to give up power that easily....

And James "Crusoe" Robinson just can't help himself getting involved...
