Book One of the Recollections of an Alternate Past, like each book in the series, has three of its own titles in addition to the two series titles:

An Introduction To Dodgeball – or –
Conception and Induction – or –
How to Begin An Apocalypse

(Written by Teel McClanahan III, 191pp, (c)2004)

A limited quantity of paperback copies of Book One are available – though you can always get Books 1-3 in a combined paperback edition and save. Book One is also available as an eBook and an audio book.

Book One is the introduction to this series of books which take place in a world where magic and psychic-like powers exist but are overlooked by most people, and centers on a teenage boy of remarkable magical and mental powers as he is introduced to a world that had been hidden from him his entire life by ignorance.

From the back cover:

Dear Reader,

If you are looking for a pleasant book, written for children to enjoy, where the most unfortunate things to occur are itchy clothing, cold porridge, and a creepy ankle tattoo, this book isn’t the one you seek. The book before you does not contain the story of three orphans; just one teenage boy whose apathetic parents might have been of more use had they both been killed in a painful and destructive fire.

In this short book alone you will find issues such as the boy’s burgeoning sexuality, a teenage pregnancy and attempted abortion, a violent and potentially deadly magical attack, and a mysterious kidnapping. Seriously.

Also, this is merely the first book in a series of books where increasingly interesting, horrifying, and erotic events unfold in vivid detail; be forewarned that if you read this book, you will quite probably want to read the next.

This is all entirely intentional,

Teel McClanahan III
