Produktbeschreibung

What happens when we discover our world is not as it seems? Finn rolled out the map across the table. Blood from the gash above his eye dripped onto the Hebrides. That's it, he thought, I've got to get as far away as possible. He finds refuge in a tiny croft on the stormy isle of Erraid, but fear arises when an apparition appears at his door. A flash of lightning reveals a silhouette, naked, with dripping dreadlocks to the knees. Its eyes glow like those of a cat and it shows no reaction to the cold.

Sixteen year old Finn is relieved when his mother reveals the sinister brute he thought was his father is not his father, yet she keeps the identity of his true sire cloaked in mystery. Reality takes on a paranormal twist when he begins to suspect his real father is not human and uncovers the bizarre revelation he was prince of an ancient tribe beneath the ocean.

As Finn struggles to balance the blood of two contrasting cultures with very different mindsets, he begins to understand the origins of his craving for the sea, and why he feels music to be a compulsive calling. He stands on the brink of making the painful decision between joining his ancestors beneath the waves, or seeking a perilous justice for his dead father on land. His refusal to acknowledge a hidden snare in his heart could block success, no matter his choice. When he realises his salt-water relatives mistake him for a prophesied hero, he fears they have the wrong guy.

Autorenporträt

"I subscribe to the old Irish belief that stories needing to be told float about and settle on a storyteller when they are ripe. 'Saltwater in the Soul' is definitely one of these. 'Salt and Pepper' (free on 'Smashwords') is a medley of short writings, some of which may one day become novels. My illustrated children's stories, 'Meg's House, 'Elf Food for children' and 'Spring Forgot to Come' (free on this site) were favourites of my three sons." I am also an artist and best known for my sea-drenched ceramic "mer-people". Although they are my bread-line, their poetry is still close to my heart. For me, they represent the flow and let go of life. I imagine them beneath the moon in deep watery caverns, sustaining sounds of creation on strange musical instruments, maintaining life's mysterious tides of blood, breath and heartbeat. Mythology also captures my imagination. My sculpture often portrays mythological creatures that for me represent ancient forces which continue to operate through us even in modern times. The fantastic creatures of the Zodiac show me that we all contain the same universe, though in different combinations. I also teach sculpture at Triple A Galleries in Margaret River, Australia.
