Alright, indie book enthusiasts, hold onto your hats (and your hands!) because “I Must Get Back To The Woods” by Oliver Trusler is about to take you on a wild ride that’s equal parts bizarre, hilarious, and downright mind-bending!

First of all, can we talk about Jack? This guy wakes up to find his hand missing, and instead of completely losing his mind (pun intended), he shrugs it off as a side effect of his “largely useless superpower.” I mean, come on – that’s the kind of protagonist I can get behind! And let’s not forget about his trusty sidekick, Alex, who needs a reminder to wear pants. Together, they’re like a comedic duo straight out of a cosmic sitcom.

But here’s where things get crazy. A six-legged cat? Intergalactic invasions? Mind-boggling realms filled with quirky alien life forms? It’s like Trusler threw every sci-fi trope into a blender and hit “puree,” and I am here for it! But amidst all the chaos and absurdity, there’s a deeper story unfolding – one of self-discovery and the power of embracing your unique abilities.

As Jack navigates this topsy-turvy universe, confronting his past and honing his newfound skills, you can’t help but root for him. Sure, he may be just an ordinary guy caught up in extraordinary circumstances, but isn’t that what makes the best heroes? And with the fate of the universe hanging in the balance, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

So, if you’re ready for a book that’s part cosmic adventure, part coming-of-age tale, and all parts bonkers, “I Must Get Back To The Woods” is the indie gem you’ve been waiting for. Just be warned – you might want to keep a tight grip on your hand while reading this one!

About the Author

I’ve wanted to be a writer all my life and used to write short stories, poetry and song lyrics in my teens.

I studied film at university and specialised in screen-writing but somewhere along the way I lost the passion, I settled into to doing other things but the writing was always in the back of my mind.

I have a lot of weird and very vivid dreams, doctors think I probably have adhd but waiting to hear on that!

These dreams lead to some interesting story ideas, such as the six-legged cat in my first novel.

I’m a big fan of quirky contemporary fiction such as Chuck Palahniuk and Jason Pargin and although I am nowhere near their league I think they have influenced my writing a great deal.

I read a lot of books and comics ranging from the classics to the modern.

One day I had an idea for a story revolving around a man who could detach his limbs at will, that story developed into I Must Get Back To The Woods, my first completed novel.

I’ve now published two novels in the Must Get Back series and working on a third, I also have a spin-off novel which is more of a thriller but still with a super-hero twist.

All my novels and short stories are set in what my wife has dubbed “The Truslerverse”, characters cross over from one story to another and they are all linked in different ways, sometimes small, sometimes major.
