Produktbeschreibung

Love Connection: Romance in the Land of the Rising Sun is a "romantic adventure" that spans three continents, and is entirely unlike any love story you've ever read.

And it is based on real events!

The novel is set in contemporary Japan and is the story of Kumiko and Takashi, two 50-something individuals grieving the loss of their spouses. We follow their romantic quests as they travel separately to Africa -- Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, and other exotic countries. They finally meet back in Japan under most unusual and shocking circumstances.

This totally unique tale is not a romance novel in the traditional sense. It's about finding and redefining self, rediscovering relationships, revitalizing life, and then in sharp contrast, the ruthlessness and callous manipulation by certain foreign criminal elements, preying on the innocent, trusting nature of Japanese people.

Autorenporträt

John Rachel has a B. A. in Philosophy, has traveled extensively, is a songwriter, music producer, novelist, and an evolutionary humanist. Since 2008, when he first embarked on his career as a novelist, he has had nine fiction and three non-fiction books published. These range from four satires and a coming-of-age trilogy, to a political drama and now a crime thriller. The three non-fiction works were also political, his attempt to address the crisis of democracy and pandemic corruption in the governing institutions of America. With the publication of Love Connection, his recent pictorial memoir, Live From Japan!, and the spoof on the self-help crazes of the 80s and 90s, Sex, Lies & Coffee Beans, he has three more novels in the pipeline: Mary K, the story of a cosmetics salesgirl with an IQ of 230, the surreal final book of his End-of-the-World Trilogy; and finally, The Last Giraffe, an anthropological drama and love story involving both the worship and devouring of giraffes. It deliciously unfolds in 19th Century sub-Saharan Africa. The author's last permanent residence in America was Portland, Oregon where he had a state-of-the-art ProTools recording studio, music production house, a radio promotion and music publishing company. He recorded and produced several artists in the Pacific Northwest, releasing and promoting their music on radio across America and overseas. John Rachel now lives in a quiet, traditional, rural Japanese community, where he sets his non-existent watch by the thrice-daily ringing of temple bells, at a local Shinto shrine.
