Windows on Our World: Hope

"I have been inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Stephen Donaldson and Ursula Le Guin. It's true that the character of Quexitoxeri was inspired by Ms. Le Guin's Arha (Tenar), but this is no retelling of the adventures of the Archmage Sparrowhawk; nor is it Frodo's quest to destroy the One Ring, or a journey through a wardrobe to a magic land, or the White Gold Wielder's attempts to save the Land. It is a unique story told in a different way." - Les Bill Gates.

​Threw Lake and Other Short Stories

An Anthology of short stories by Les Bill Gates

The short stories contained in this anthology have been written at different times over many years. Some stories, such as Threw Lake are purely fictional; others, such as Follow that Star, are factual stories experienced by the author; and yet others, such as Unfair Dismissal, are partly based on fact and part fiction.
There are several genres represented in this anthology – Fantasy (The Rivening of One), Science fiction (D.O.V.E.S), Humour (Mistaken Identities), Philosophy (She stood at the Crossroads of Time), and there’s even Tragedy, but I won’t spoil your enjoyment by telling you which stories have tragic endings. Finally, The Rivening of One is a history of the world I created for my young adult epic
fantasy trilogy Windows on Our World.

You can read Threw Lake, the first short story of the anthology, here.

For the blind and visually impaired, you can also listen to Threw Lake on the ewritersaudio Youtube channel here.

'Threw Lake and other Short Stories' is also available as an ebook on Smashwords.
