In life you find three kinds of people: those who will change your life, those who will harm your life and those who will be your life. - Anonymous A woman blindsided by a lover who is not what he appears, a devoted husband who breaks the law to keep a promise, an unbreakable bond of male friendship over the rise and fall of fortunes, and a boy who must, from fragments, piece together the man he will become. Within Sunshine and Shadow showcases stories that are compelling, highly nuanced, psychologically precise and at times amusing. Each story willingly explores the variety and depth of what it is to be human. The stories will appeal to the reader who enjoys literary fiction, is curious about what lies beneath the surface of situations and relationships, reads to be entertained as well as educated and who prefers plots that are character-driven. Each story is illustrated with an original pen and ink drawing whose relevance is only revealed as the story is read.
Autorenporträt
Alina Loneck was born in Nottingham in the UK in 1953 and emigrated to Australia in the mid-seventies.She was not a naughty child, but she was strong-minded, adventurous, and creative. By seven, she could show you one hundred and one things to make from a wooden peg. Her first story was about a zebra. She claims this had absolutely nothing to do with a sit-down protest she made in the middle of a zebra-crossing as a toddler. It did, however, have everything to do with a mother who had no grasp of the relativity of leg length to age and distance travelled.Alina has an Honours Degree in Psychology and English Literature from Leeds University and a Bachelor of Visual Arts from Sydney College of the Arts. These explain why her eye colour can switch readily from steel blue to baby blue, dependent upon whether you are trying to put something over on her or whether the beauty of a sun-kissed day overcomes her.Upon her retirement six years ago, Alina relocated from Sydney's Northern Beaches to Coffs Harbour.At last, free to do as she wished, she discovered that writing fiction provided her with a sense of purpose and adventure, as it allowed her to tell imaginative lies to reveal profound truths; something she would never do in her everyday life.However, it is no word of a lie to say that her most precious roles in life are as mother and friend.
