Fate Twister
The Strange Story of Wayne Gamm
Wayne Gamm (เวรกรรม) is a Thai concept referring to karmic retribution – the idea that one’s actions, good or bad, will eventually return to them. The word always amused me because it sounded like a boy’s name: Wayne Gamm. That coincidence stayed in my head for years until I imagined a boy who could do the impossible – change Karma itself.
In Thai belief, Karma is not just cosmic justice, it’s an unchangeable law of the universe. But what if someone could twist it – not with witchcraft, but as an innate, chaotic power they barely understood? That thought became the seed of Fate Twister – a story about a young man who doesn’t just defy Karma but reshapes it, without knowing how or why. The consequences are vast, and the price may be higher than he ever imagined.

SUMMARY Reviewed by Melinda Hills for Readers’ Favorite Young Wayne Gamm has a special connection to horses and other farm animals – innocence and an open heart. Fate Twister: The Story of Wayne Gamm by Owen Jones follows Wayne from his birth one stormy night in June to his early twenties. His mother and grandmother, both of whom are white witches, know that his life will be difficult at times – other children and even adults are afraid of Wayne because he is a much larger than average child, but also because strange things seem to happen when he is upset or angry. Wayne doesn’t mind his life on the mountain, however, since he has such a close relationship with his family, his horse Harry, and the other animals on the farm. Because of this connection to horses, Wayne hires on as a stable boy with a circus, which provides him with an opportunity to see more of the world and to become close to Emma, the stable boss’s daughter. Wayne and Emma add a musical act to the circus, which makes them quite popular and, with a little white magic, they become a successful act in New York. How far will their talent – musical and magical - take them? Wonderful descriptions and realistic dialogue take you right into the mountains of Wales and the early life of Wayne Gamm in this excellent story describing his life and talents. Fate Twister: The Strange Story of Wayne Gamm by Owen Jones, although paranormal, deals more with the progress of Wayne’s life and how he deals with the abilities he has, as well as the protection and influence of his mother and grandmother. As a coming of age story, Wayne has a lot to learn about ‘the wide world,’ but his love for Emma and trust in her help him through. As a Fate Twister, Wayne subtly alters situations and his instructions to Emma for meditation provide a great lesson for readers as well in terms of setting goals and using positive imagery to achieve results. I highly recommend Fate Twister: The Strange Story of Wayne Gamm to readers of all ages as a feel-good story with a positive message, as well as a bit of a paranormal peril. | 5.0 |
