The Fiona Letters (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Fiona is the good buddy and scientific confrere of the young William Thomson, newly appointed to the chair of Natural Philosophy at Glasgow University in 1849. Unconventional, uninhibited, and brilliant, she provides the keys to his scientific discoveries. She also takes it upon herself to tutor him for his forthcoming marriage bed with his young, priggish, cousin. Fiona herself has to marry quickly as a cover for her and William's lovechild, and settles into a life of frustratingly respectable motherhood in Belfast, while William's career in science and engineering takes off into a knighthood and eventually a peerage. Fiona and William manage occasional passionate trysts for 20 years, but finally, after a crisis, have to give each other up. Rooting out the letters that document the secret Fiona/William affair involves adventure, passion, and another outrageous Fiona.

Autorenporträt

Ralph Bowden has entertained himself by writing mostly fiction for almost 30 years, through and following careers as an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry, a history professor, a home builder, an alternative energy consultant, an instructional designer, and a technical writer. Twenty-six novels, four story collections, a volume of collected short fiction, and a three-act play reside, mostly unread, on his hard drive. He likes all of his word children. Realistically, some of them are probably flawed and maybe even terrible. Others might entertain readers besides himself, but Ralph hasn't the time or ego drive to promote and sell, nor the stomach for collecting rejection letters. Self-publishing avoids all that and is quick. If somebody finds and likes what he has written, fine. If not, the world will go on (or not) just the same.
