The Glass is set in a post-apocalyptic world where people now live in small isolated communities, and struggle for their survival. In one particular community the people have learned to value wisdom more than knowledge, for all the knowledge in the world had not saved people from their own foolishness. In a world where outsiders can, and sometimes do, prove to be a terrible threat, a young girl, Skala, arrives at the home of Yori Torkelson and his reluctant apprentice Dag. She is running for her life from a gang of men who have learned to survive by taking everything from others, often including their lives. This gang has already murdered her mother because their leader wants a small collection of artifacts from the past that her people had called the 'Sacred Things'. Skala knows where they are.
Megan Hamilton was born in England and immigrated with her family to Canada as a child. She now resides in Ottawa, Ontario. After graduating from university with a degree in English and linguistics she worked as a writer (presumably non-fiction) and editor for the Canadian Federal Government. During this period she wrote several stories, and hid them away due to a combination of shyness and inertia. “Millstones” her first full-length novel was actually written in the early nineties. However, a certain strong-willed friend decided that if you’ve written it, you should “put it out there”. Thus “Millstones” is now available on Amazon because the certain strong-willed friend made it happen. Megan's second work, “The Glass”, a post-apocalyptic novella, was also recently revived and developed, and is now available for Amazon's Kindle, and in paperback. A collection of short stories that range from the whimsical “Mr Cat and Molly” to the more philosophical “Small Things” and “Christmas Dinner”, is also being compiled.
