A DYSLEXIC CHILD DISCOVERS DANTE'S 'INFERNO' AND SAVES HER DYSFUNCTIONAL FATHER. '... The hilarious Men Going Their Own Way classic...' by Paul Lyons, winner of a London Times Book of the Year Award and a New Writer's Fellowship from the Australian Literature Board. 'There's more to love than a womb and two jugs.' Paul Piles, Australian shaman, eco-warrior and anti-psychiatry campaigner sets out to prove the primacy of male love. Abducting his newborn baby's a bad start. The Warrior Path takes them to a shoot-out in a Tibetan monastery. There's more sensible ways of supporting your family than stealing a billionaire's yacht. By the time his daughter turns thirteen Paul's just another semi-absentee father and Jelly's in a special needs school with behavioural problems. Paul's crusade has ended in failure until, that is, his dyslexic daughter's chance discovery of Dante's 'Inferno' reveals hidden mnemonic powers that could prove to be her salvation, unless her newfound brilliance finally tips her over the edge. Paul's fifteen-year exile from Australia ends abruptly with a phone call that his mother's dying. He's finally flying home, banned from the house, his father's curse upon his head, taking Jelly with him. Abducting her a second time? Or will his daughter prove to be Paul's Guide on his final journey into Hell? 95,000 words.
Autorenporträt
I am an australian author. My first novel, 'The Eden Man', Andre Deutsch, London 1987, won an Australian Literature Board New Writers Fellowship and a London Times Book Of The Year Award. The Guardian called it a 'laugh-out-loud' tour de force, 'sure not to be a one hit wonder', a prediction sadly incorrect. 'Natalie, A Kundalini Love Story' is a romance in the field of Buddhist Tantra, published by Life Force Books, California. I've worked in London as a builder and now live in Mae Suai, in Northern Thailand.
