Kris McKinnon is an author and illustrator specialising in allegorical tales with a silly twist. His take on the concept of Karma is hinged on the story of Steve, the luckiest golfer you could ever meet – and by the way did you know that it’s a penguin called Derek that stopped the aliens carrying out their idea of cleansing the Earth of Humanity?

Intrigued? Well you can read the books for yourself – they’re available on Amazon.

aliens“Aliens, Penguins & The History Of The Earth” By Kris McKinnon, Amazon, ISBN: 9781517775070

There have been quite a number of ‘creation stories’ passed down by previous generations but none perhaps as colourful as that told by Derek the penguin. Seemingly unbeknown to the Human race, Derek has been something of an advocate for Mankind, even when he has to accept, from his alien overlords, that we could be living much more decently on Earth – and will need to improve if we want to avoid the fate of the dinosaurs.

In another of his re-imaginings, McKinnon takes on the idea of Karma. Steve is a lucky, lucky man until he starts to take his good fortune for granted; at which point it deserts him, only to be replaced by catastrophe. It’s only after he reawakens to see all that he has ignored, that he finds real gratitude and a second chance.
