Secrets of the Mighty Amazon (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the depths of the Amazon forest, where few had set foot, there are secrets and mysteries that are better kept in the jungle. Oblivious to this curse, impetuous conquistadores of the Sixteenth Century venture their luck in search for riches and fame. Francisco de Orellana, a man with no fear and huge ambition, dreams of having his name listed beside Columbus, Cortés and Pizarro. Blessed with high intelligence and mastering his Toledo sword with high dexterity, he fights hostile natives and overcomes adversities to make the historical discovery of a mighty river-the Amazon. But his stance is softened when he meets the beautiful Amazon warrior-Iurupari-the princess of the Icamiaban tribe and the woman he falls madly in love with, who now carries his baby. Practised Captain Orellana comes across a set of adversities, he had never faced before. Will he arrive on time to rescue Iurupari and the baby whose plight might become a fatal banishment?

Autorenporträt

I'm a Historical Fiction Author. My family hails from the Land of the Rising Sun, though, I am based in the UK, where I have lived for the past twenty years. I am an Economics graduate and have worked for over twenty years in finance and IT. I have lived in four countries UK, Switzerland, Japan & Brazil. Am I blessed? Yes, I believe I am. Acquiring the knowledge of different cultures and customs made me a better person. I believe that ignorance is the root of bigotry and tradition is the living treasure of peoples' history and heritage. Every country has a history that is compelling, every culture carries a unique heritage and they deserve to be respected. History is my passion. My bookshelves (and kindle) are stuffed with historical books and historical fiction novels. I love travelling too. I travel around the world (workload permitting) and my destinations are usually chosen after I finish reading an absorbing historical (fiction or non fiction) book. I started writing when I was a child and continued through adulthood. After many trials and errors, I believe I made my narratives good enough to share them with other people. Yet reading and writing helped me to deal with problems at difficult times. One can call it escapism, but reading or writing words can never become a harmful addiction. I wrote "The Goddesses of Japan" in memory of my late father. When I was seven years old, he used to read the stories of the Creation and Ancient Japan to me at bed times and I got hooked to them. I hope my readers enjoy reading my books, as much as I enjoy writing them.
