Splendor lies just beyond the monster-infested wastelands of Oblivion. For years, outcast children have been recruited here, the invitation delivered by a half-blind, clairvoyant raven named Livingston. Here they discover the magic that has always lain dormant inside them. For any kid who has ever needed a second chance, Splendor is a perfect refuge, a place where the very thing that once made them a little different, now makes them immensely powerful. But Splendor is under attack. Once a simple garden slug, the Duke has tapped into the magic of Splendor to conjure a horrific new body. As commander of the mutant armies of Oblivion, he tears apart the city in a search for the source of the magic, the essence that keeps Splendor and her citizens alive. On the run from truancy officers, 16 year-old Paul Hart escapes to Splendor and is reluctantly drawn into the battle. But how can Paul, miserably devoid of magic, lead the citizens of Splendor to defend their city? To save the city he has come to call his home, Paul must discover the awesome power – and the horrific curse – of his own hidden magic, before leading a band of misfits into battle against the nightmarish army that dwells on the Edge of Oblivion. Read more of the Elsewhere series and follow the story of Paul Hart, as this epic battle rages from the poisonous wasteland of Oblivion to the cities of Normalcy.

He takes advanced placement classes, is in the marching band and is a scholarship student at one of Washington's most prestigious private schools, The St. Helena Academy. Brad Stevenson is every thing most teenage boys wish they could be, he's gorgeous, popular, a star athlete, has more money than he knows how to spend and is dating the head cheerleader, but his life isn't as perfect as everyone seems to think. One dreary afternoon Tyler discovers someone sitting at the window adjacent his own, crying. He reaches out in the form of a hand written note that he holds up so the other can see it from the window. This action starts a tentative but intense friendship between the two, that begins to develop into something more serious than either expected. Into something Brad denies due to his own personal demons. It takes a major event and a grand gesture from Tyler to prove to Brad that there are more important things in life than living up to other people's expectations; like good chocolate, bad pop music and voyeurism.

Talmadge P. Fletcher has written Memories from Thickety in order to preserve a record of his life experiences, mainly for his children, grandchildren, and other relatives. He undertook writing the book at the urging of his granddaughter. The book will also be worthwhile reading for anyone who wishes to know about the Great Depression, World War II, and the mountain region of western North Carolina from a personal perspective. A special feature of the book is the author's narration of his participation in "Operation Carpetbagger" which provided covert support to the French underground resistance to German occupation during WWII. Another part of the author's intention in writing this book is to help the younger generations learn what a difference there is between today and what some people call "the good old days". In the author's younger days, many people, especially in the mountains of western North Carolina, lived without washing machines, refrigerators, electric stoves, TVs, radios, and cars. The author says, "We never missed those things because we never had them." Memories from Thickety relates many incidents of hardship, but the author is often able to look back upon them and see their humorous aspects. The author was born in Gastonia, North Carolina, in 1923, but he has spent most of the ninety years of his life in Haywood County in the midst of the mountains of western North Carolina. All of his family and relatives are natives of the mountains of western North Carolina.
