About The Adventurers of Jimmy Crikey: Radioactive! by Wallace E Briggs
Jimmy Crikey, the orphaned alien who chose to make his life on Earth, is not magical, but he has unique skills that come in useful when his family of friends in Roombelow need help.
Roombelow is suffering from the aftereffects of the rock-chewing Scarab beatles that undermined the town and the world of the Diamites, and even the water-world of the Aquamites is crumbling.
Unexpectedly, a hole appeared in the centre of the Aquamites’ Emerald Lake. Not only does the lake begin to empty, but thirty Aquamites have been swept away in the flow and end up in the lake belonging to the Tritians.
Rescue cannot come soon enough because the Tritians live in a radioactive environment that poisons the young Aquamites, and Jimmy’s close friend Annison is seriously in trouble.
Jimmy organises for the young Aquamites to be rescued by his technologically advanced home race in the star world of Attalia. Twenty-eight Aquamites were saved, but one was beyond help. To Jimmy’s dismay, Annison refused treatment until all her friends had been treated. As a result, the Attalians could not save her. Annison slipped into a coma from which they could not revive her.
Is Annison doomed to a living death, or can Jimmy call upon aid from a higher authority?

Author Bio:
Wallace was born on the outskirts of Durham City eighty years ago. He was married at twenty-one to his childhood sweetheart, Pat, whom he first met when he was eleven; they are nearing their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
They never lived more than five miles from the Cathedral City until they were almost forty years old with two children, boys. Then, employment took their small family to the south coast: E.Sussex for a decade, followed by ten years in lovely Hampshire.
Employment brought them back North, and now retired, they live on the edge of a small rural town in beautiful East Lancashire, NW England.
An author of children’s books with several works published on Amazon, retirement gave Wallace the time to concentrate on writing.
His latest project is bringing the Jimmy Crikey stories to market in audio formats with the help and direction of a great narrator.
The sixth Jimmy Crikey fantasy story was published in January 2024. In addition to writing children’s stories, he wrote a memoir recounting events that moulded the first seventeen years of his life. That was the year he met Pat for the second time and the year his father died.
His memoir (Love Changed Everything) highlights his turnaround from a humble childhood in poverty to a successful career in technical sales and many adventures in International markets. Pat and Wallace are approaching their Diamond wedding anniversary in September 2024.
When not writing Wallace paints scenes (mainly fantasy/fairy themes) onto china plates firing them in a kiln which was gift from his tutor.
