Keighley author releases fantasy novel about Loch Ness Monster

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 04:02 · Archive

Keighley author Simon E Wilkinson has released Tom Lennox and the Loch's Next Monster, the third instalment in his Tom Lennox series for young readers. The story follows Tom Lennox, a young adventurer with a passion for time and space travel, as he investigates one of the world's most enduring mysteries.

The narrative spans millions of years. It begins more than 65 million years ago, when plesiosaurs basking in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico are startled by a mysterious object streaking through the sky. The story then jumps forward to 1934, when a motorist travelling along the shores of Loch Ness spots a strange creature emerging from the darkness before disappearing beneath the water. These two seemingly unrelated events form the basis of Tom's investigation.

When a teacher dismisses the Loch Ness Monster as nothing more than a fairy tale, Tom questions how a prehistoric creature could possibly have survived so long. An unexpected gift allows him to travel back through time to the Scottish Highlands, where he makes a discovery in Loch Ness's waters. Wilkinson said the mystery has 'enthralled people for well over a thousand years' and that the loch 'has kept its secrets safe and secure'. He described the novel as offering 'adventure, mystery and fantasy' as Tom's courage is tested to the limit.
