Stephen. L. West was born in the UK but moved to South Australia in the mid-sixties growing up mainly in the north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide. At seventeen he enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy where he learnt his trade. Whilst still serving, he married Trudi in nineteen eighty. After a ten-year career he joined the New South Wales Fire Brigades before the family, now four with two children, decided to move back to South Australia.
His writing career started in the late nineteen-eighties creating technical manuals which soon led to looking further afield and dabbling in fiction. As an amateur astronomer with a lot of interest in other sciences, he decided to write his first science fiction novel.
‘I had this thing going around and around inside my head so I decided one day to get it out of there and onto paper.’
Stephen and Trudi still live in South Australia, in the mid-north and are both involved with the Country Fire Service, Stephen as a firefighter and Trudi as a financial coordinator. Their family has expanded to six grandchildren (with more to come).
Adam Lang is a normal teenager although he is very good at sport but not as naturally gifted as some, he just works hard. He's a reasonable student and gets on with most of his teachers and class mates. It's just him and his mum, his father disappeared in 'unusual' circumstances when he was a baby leaving her to rear their only child. Normally, to get to school, Adam would swing past his best mate Luke's place and together they would pick up another mate, Peter. Sometimes Luke's sister, Belinda, who Adam has a crush on, would join them. Just before his fifteenth birthday, Adam found himself on his own going to school, Luke has a dentist appointment and Peter is off to a funeral. As it was just him, Adam decides to use a shorter route, Inner Lane, to get to school. Half way down the lane, he comes across an odd looking red door, one that looks like it should have been on a church or Gothic building. It's intriguing. Adam does not use Inner Lane often, but often enough to know the door was not there the last time. Questions pop into his head as he studies it. He and his mates have often wondered what could be on the other side of the high stone wall the door is fixed to and now perhaps he might find out. But school beckons and he turns away, but he hears his name called. Adam comes back to the door and decides one quick peek will do no harm. He turns the odd handle.
