MARY HARRISON Mary has been an inspirational writer over the years. She loved writing this Japanese story about the many exciting adventures and challenges of CHIE. She especially enjoyed the detailed research on the Geishas and all things Japanese. Mary was proud of the "The Eye of the DARUMA". Mary started as a newspaper journalist in Bedford soon after her second son Peter Antony was born. Pete is now a school teacher and was her inspiration. Peter and Mary Harrison had four sons: Paul, Peter, Philip & Christopher and a daughter, Eve Louise. Mary was especially successful on radio and TV. For many years she broadcast in London at the LBC radio station. Mary was Paranormal Consultant on The Pete Murray Show. Her most notable TV broadcast was on lTV's "This Morning" when she asked viewers to phone in with their paranormal experiences. There were so many calls that the lTV phone network became jammed. Richard and Judy were dumbfounded by the reaction Mary caused on that special day, 31st October. Mary sadly passed away in 2002 and is deeply missed. Her husband Peter Lives in Hampstead and writes plays, films and books. He continually pays tribute to Mary in books, blogs and discussions. Mary was always Peter's inspiration from when they first met at College Entertainments, Archer St., London in February 1971. Mary came to work for Peter as his P.A. & College co-ordinator, neither realising that it was the start of a fantastic 30 year romantic partnership.
About the Author: Mary started as a newspaper journalist in Bedford soon after her second son Peter Antony was born. Pete is now a school teacher and was her inspiration. A few years after the manuscript was completed Mary sadly passed away and the whereabouts of the manuscript became unknown. In the years that followed "The Eye of the Daruma" gained, within family circles, a reputation of mystery and curiosity. Fragments of the story were often fondly remembered by family members but the original manuscript was supposedly lost forever. Some eighteen years later Mary's son Philip made a magnificent discovery when he unexpectedly found the original manuscript deposited away in his West Country home. Having reviewed the material Mary's husband Peter has now finally published the original version of "The Eye of the Daruma". Available via Amazon and other online booksellers. Mary's biggest success was the bestseller that she wrote with Peter, "The Children That Time Forgot". The book was published in USA, France, Netherlands, U.K. & Ireland. Mary extended her interest in the paranormal by co-writing (again with Peter) both "Spinechiller" and "Mystic Forces". All three titles became the 'Paranormal Trilogy'. "The Children that Time Forgot" started out as: "Life before Birth", published by Futura. Oh, I nearly forgot, "The Children That Time Forgot" was also published in Japan, where this novel is set. So let us join Chie in her native Japan in the year 1905..... And enjoy her very many challenges before she completes her dream wish of inking in the right eye of her beloved Daruma.
