Dudley Daydreamer Dudley Daydreamer is a story about a 10 year old boy named Dudley Heidlemeir who is overwhelmed with daydreaming. He daydreams constantly. Whether he's sitting at his desk at school, walking to and from school, sitting in his tree house, or even just riding his bicycle, Dudley's mind just seems to wander feverishly about anything and anyone. Most of the time his adventures center around many of the subjects he studies in school, or even a television program he had previously viewed. Dudley lives in a typical neighborhood surrounded by typical friends. His parents provide him with the typical home with your typical twenty first century two parent household where both parents work the average forty hour work week. In fact Dudley is more of the typical family than your average typical family. The one thing that separates him from the other kids in the neighborhood is his vast imagination.

Tragedy strikes, when a cycling accident renders Frankie brain injured and comatose. Graham Marshal, a geologist, gives Frankie a tektite - a small meteor found in Australian deserts. The tektite contains an alien life form, Tek, who is a magical plasmoid, able to take on any form. Tek flows into Frankie, and heals his wounds. Normally, Tek appears as a small boy, and he joins Steven and Frankie in their games and at school. Tek's existence is discovered by the press, and the family has to flee in order to protect Tek from a desperate public, and corporate criminals, anxious to get control of Tek and his healing powers. Tek, Steven, and Frankie flee to a huge meteorite crater in order to take Tek back to his family of plasmoids. One step ahead of the corporation, Tek uses his magic to fly the boys to the crater. There, the aliens manage to summon their mother ship and leave Earth. The boys, still magical, head for home. About the Author Geoff was born in Jersey, then under German occupation, during World War II. Soon after the war, his family moved to Brisbane, Australia. He was educated at All Souls' School, Charters Towers - a rather traditional boarding school after the English style. What knowledge one didn't learn through the ears was well and truly belted in through the rear end, complete with blood blisters. His first contact with the cane was for not running around a sports oval fast enough. He now prides himself on a complete disinterest on sports and knows nothing about cricket. This led to his creative and artistic sides developing. He had a way with words, and was a skilled debater. After secondary school, he took to teaching, graduated, and then obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in Aboriginal Education. For the next thirty years, he lived with remote aborigines in the Great Western Desert, firstly as a primary school teacher, and later as a School Principal and Administrator. During this time, he took up writing, mostly short stories and film scripts. It was a good way to while away lonely hours in the desert evenings.
