Heroes of Heresy
When Arthurian monk Habeas Yeast found religion he stopped looking for anything else. Now religion is looking for him. The recently possessed Vole Drakeforth teams up with Pimola Goosebread, passionate tea-critic and leading research scientist in particle physics. Seeking the truth behind the very nature of reality, these unlikely heroes find themselves the target of the world's most customer-focused professional killers. This is the prequel you will want to read first, but really need to read last for it to make sense.
Paul Mannering was born, as we so often are, to biological parents (literally, his father was a Marine Biologist). The youngest of 4 surviving children and an unknown number of others who never made it past zygote, or were simply sold for research purposes to make ends meet. (The 70’s were a hard time for his family). Born in Kaikoura, New Zealand, where steep mountains plunge into dark seas with canyons so deep that colossal squid and whales duel it out in the crushing depths. Moving to Christchurch at 14, after a year of boarding school, he fought his way through high-school and then started the first of many full time jobs. He became a father at 19, went through various life experiences, went to a community college as an adult student, studied nursing, traveled overseas, returned, worked, and did all the fun things that you do when you are in your 20’s and 30’s. Realising that he really missed writing, Paul started taking it seriously again in his late 30’s. Since then he has had a dozen novels published, a pile of short stories released into the wild, and he has written and produced a lot of podcast audio drama. He even won awards. Paul has recently relocated to Australia from New Zealand where he now lives under an assumed identity as a functional adult in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory.
