About this ebook

Do you believe in Guardian Angels?

Have you thanked your Guardian Angel today?

I never did... now I wish I had.

I now understand the hard work and difficult situations they face every day. That car that veered off course, the knife that slipped or even the close call when you nearly tumbled from a tree.

It wasn't good luck that saved you, it was me.

My name is Adam and I'm a guardian angel.

When Adam finds himself confronted by the burly, balding white-robed man calling himself Peter, it finally dawns on him: he's dead.

Of course he is.

He's dead, and this is Heaven. Peter. The Pearly Gates. The whole shebang.

He doesn't get much time to dwell on this, though, because no sooner is he through the gates, than he is set on by his soon-to-be trainer.

Adam is going to be a guardian angel, and his first assignment is no cakewalk, either. It's a three-year-old girl.

What could go wrong?

"Graham is a great storyteller." -- Christine Bernard, author of the acclaimed paranormal thriller, Will.

Ratings and reviews

An insightful look at what a Guardian Angel goes through when looking after us. I believe in guardian angels and loved the thought of getting a look into their world and what it takes to look after humans to keep them safe. I felt an overwhelming sense of empathy with the angels and their job. I would like to have seen more of the red angel and what he may have been up to, but I am thankful to have read this book and look forward to reading more by Graham Downs and the angels.

About the author

 Graham Downs is a South African author of short stories, flash fiction, and novelettes, in a variety of genres. Memoirs of a Guardian Angel is his longest work to date.

He currently lives in Alberton, Gauteng, with his wife and their dog, Becky. He spends a good portion of his free time reading and, as with his writing, he reads books in a huge range of genres and lengths. He’s also passionate about South African authors—particularly independently published ones.

Graham's publishing journey began in 2012, with his first book, A Petition to Magic, which is a fantasy short story about a wizard who refuses to perform magic, and a queen who insists that he do just that. He freely admits that back then, just like John Snow, he knew nothing (now, he knows perhaps a trifle more than nothing).

Since those fateful first steps, he's never looked back, publishing five more books in almost as many genres, as well as getting a story included in the charity anthology, I Am Not Frazzle! (And Other Stories For Grown-ups).

His latest work, Memoirs of a Guardian Angel, was launched on 6 April 2018.
