• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Anna Waters, 17, is a smart girl from a good home who has a passion for natural medicine. Inspired by a medieval miracle worker, she wants to bring the people of her town to healthier ways of living.

Al Flanagan, 24, a smooth talking and super ambitious businessman who works for a multinational pharmaceutical company is not going to let some reckless young schoolgirl threaten his market share or career path. But how far will he go to protect his patch?

We all wish every David could overcome their Goliath. But let's not get too romantic about this; sometimes the Davids of this world are just not patient or clever enough, or perhaps the Goliaths are just too strong. Hmmm.

'The Shades of Paracelsus' is also a novel about place. It explores the Illawarra region of Australia, a place where the abrupt and unarguable logic of the escarpment meets the tireless expanse of sapphire waters of a pacific ocean. See how this place shapes the thinking of its people.

Within the book, Anna publishes her own ebook titled RU4UT?. With each purchase of Shades, the author will send you a free ecopy of RU4UT?. Please order by email to the author.

Being the author's first novel, he is making this available for free for a limited time.

Autorenporträt

I've been writing pretty much full time for ten years- after I completed a Master of Creative Arts (Prose) at the University of Wollongong. Previously I worked as metallurgist, health food retailer, government bureaucrat, diplomat and entrepreneur.

While my work overseas for the Australian government took me on postings to many places including Europe, Asia and Africa, I like to write about the contemporary Australian experience. I began writing fiction in the nineties, had some short stories published, then put my writing on hold to give full attention to my career.

I'm a taiji enthusiast, avid jade collector, and a keen follower of William Gass and his theory of sentences, that each sentence has a soul, and that all good literature comes from the well-constructed sentence.

I live in near the Royal National Park, south of Sydney.
