The Monster Who Wasn't

T.C. Shelley studied Creative Writing and Literature at university. She has been teaching English for over twenty years and her first school was classified as the most remote in Australia. She loves an audience and long before she took up teaching was writing and performing her poetry and short stories. She began writing novels to entertain her daughter, who wisely suggested that she try to get them published. Shelley lives with her husband, her daughter and two dogs in Perth, Western Australia. The Monster Who Wasn't is her first novel.

A brilliantly rich and strange fantasy adventure that will make us all believe in monsters - be they good, bad or somewhere in between.

It is a well-known fact that fairies are born from a baby's first laugh. What is not as well documented is how monsters come into being .

This is the story of a creature who is both strange and unique. When he hatches down in the vast underground lair where monsters dwell, he looks just like a human boy - much to the disgust of everyone watching. Even the grumpy gargoyles who adopt him and nickname him 'Imp' only want him to steal chocolate for them from the nearby shops. He's a child with feet in both worlds, and he doesn't know where he fits.

But little does Imp realise that Thunderguts, king of the ogres, has a great and dangerous destiny in mind for him, and he'll stop at nothing to see it come to pass .

Shelley is a first-time novelist who writes with the confidence of an old hand. The plot never flags, but characters have time to develop, and even Shelley's most outlandish creations are rendered believable by her descriptive precision . A treat.

This story is quite simply beautifully written and will make us all believe in monsters of all shapes and sizes

There are plenty of shocks and frightening moments in store ... in this engrossing story

A classy gift humidor that feels more premium than its price.
Size: L ( Fits 25-50 Cigars)
I’m no cigar aficionado, but this humidor gives off a premium vibe. The cedar lining, glass top, and included hygrometer make it look and function just like other consumer-grade or gift humidors I’ve owned in the past. It maintains the right environment for storage, and the build quality feels solid for the price point. As a gift, it looks impressive and works as expected—definitely a worthwhile buy without needing to break the bank.

Solid cigar box with premium touches
Size: L ( Fits 25-50 Cigars)
This humidor ended up being way nicer than I expected for the price. The digital hygrometer is a great touch and super easy to read without opening it. The glass top feels sturdy and gives it a clean sharp look on the desk. The cedar lining smells amazing right out the box and really helps hold the humidity steady. I got the large one and it easily fits a good mix of sizes. Gave this as a gift to my uncle and he was honestly blown away by the quality. The value for the quality of this box is phenomenal. I love the digital monitor that gives you the humidity percentage, and having a "refillable" part that you use to humidify was such a big plus for me. Super easy to maintain, and super easy to glance at and make sure it is at the correct humidity. I love not having to wonder if I need to add more humidity and fear of ruining my collection! Must have for anyone looking for a humidifying box.

Season Well and It Still Might Not Work
Humidor was seasoned, per the instructions (and more). Yet it will not keep humidity above 60%. It appears the seal/gap is to wide because of the hinge placement. They need to be recessed a bit to create a tighter seal. I have 15 cigars in this box, plus a Boveda 69% 60gram package. Max humidity is 60%.

Impressive Gift
Size: L ( Fits 25-50 Cigars), Size: L ( Fits 25-50 Cigars)
We had another humidor that didn’t have a humidity gauge. Found out that even in high humidity Houston we were not storing our cigars at a high enough humidity. This is a very well-made, sturdy humidor. (Our old one pales in comparison and I thought it was nice!) You open it up and the smell often the wood is just lovely. We often buy Cubans while abroad, and go a long time in between using them. We are not going to take a chance with them now. We will only use this. Perfect for a gift for your cigar aficionado. I think this box is a good value for the money and you will preserve your cigars much better with a digital readout.
