Montage of a Mauve Reality is a collection of 19 short stories I wrote in as many weeks. They were written as much to be therapy, when I turned my back on a dangerous lifestyle, as a serious attempt at trying my hand at story writing. Some are pulled out of nightmares and recurring dreams, some waking life, from early childhood to middle age. Some were concocted merely to explore the possibility of a storyline. If there is a theme, it is that 'real' and 'imaginary' are often unimportant distinctions. Existence involves both in combination, and to enjoy and appreciate life fully, the mind…mehr

Montage of a Mauve Reality is a collection of 19 short stories I wrote in as many weeks. They were written as much to be therapy, when I turned my back on a dangerous lifestyle, as a serious attempt at trying my hand at story writing. Some are pulled out of nightmares and recurring dreams, some waking life, from early childhood to middle age. Some were concocted merely to explore the possibility of a storyline. If there is a theme, it is that 'real' and 'imaginary' are often unimportant distinctions. Existence involves both in combination, and to enjoy and appreciate life fully, the mind should remain open to all possibilities and all experiences. In hypnagogic where I write of wind sprites, for example, every word of it is true. It is a precise recollection of the event which on its own, caused me to put down the bottle (amongst other things) and pick up a pen. In one way or another, every story is a snippet form actual life experience and I wouldn't change a day of it.

Autorenporträt
Tom Taylor was born near Morphett Vale, South Australia, on Dec, 1st, 1954, and was raised on the family farm, Thrush Grove, which was established during early colonization of the state, and lived there with his family until 1977. Possessing a penchant for adventure, he has embarked on several working tours of Australia, which, together with his rather wide-ranging and sometimes harrowing experiences, has provided him with a rich source of material from which to draw inspiration. In 1983, he retired from work-a-day life and began writing, as much to satisfy his creative bent as to delve a few of the many subjects which had always interested him. "The whole question of existence, being human and living in a world of seemingly limitless possibility is far more food for thought than I could digest in several lifetimes," he says. Tom presently resides near the coast, south of Adelaide, sharing life with his partner, Janet, and is currently busy as a musician while preparing his next three paperbacks for publication. His agile mind and quirky sense of humour are capable of imbuing new interest into almost any subject, and his irresistible curiosity and fascination with life translates into compelling story-telling. Let those who have become disenchanted, cynical and jaded by every-day existence be heartened. Here are a new set of glasses through which to view your universe.Mauve-coloured glasses!
