A rabbit, whose name is Bumbly, hears a mysterious voice instructing her to seek the rainbow within. The rainbow is self-enlightenment, a concept closely related to chakras. Chakras are energy centres we all have in our bodies that look like spinning discs; in fact, the name comes from the Sanskrit word for ‘wheel’. Like everything in our reality, chakras are linked with sound, light and colour. Focusing on a particular colour of chakra brings that vibration into one’s energy field; this has an effect on the consciousness which can be experienced as a change in mood.

Charlie's Ark is about a five-year-old boy and his toy-box, in the shape of an ark, in which he keeps his many animals that all come to life in his Imagination (or do they?).

The First Collection features eight short stories, each wonderfully read by Mike Payne.
