![]() ![]() ![]() The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating is an affirmation of the healing power of nature, revealing how much of the world we miss in our busy daily lives, and how truly magical it is.Ī remarkable journey of survival and resilience, The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating shows how a small part of the natural world can illuminate our own human existence and deepen our appreciation of what it means to be fully alive. Intrigued by the snail's world - from its strange anatomy to its mysterious courtship activities - she becomes a fascinated and amused observer of the snail's curious life. In a work that beautifully demonstrates the rewards of closely observing nature, she shares the inspiring and intimate story of her close encounter with Neohelix albolabris - a common woodland snail. ![]() She enters the rhythm of life of this mysterious creature, and comes to a greater understanding of her own confined place in the world.

Too many experiences as a boy watching my neighborhood friends running and crying after accidentally stepping on firecrackers or watching older teens crawling across the grass like soldiers in combat, tossing fireworks like grenades at each other. I like fireworks, but more at a distance. The night is often just an excuse for small clubs to charge a cover and for restaurants to rake in the money. Maybe if it were an opening act for Christmas, instead of a poor follow up for the best possible holiday. I’ve never been a big celebrator of that night anyway. A look, a wave, a “hi daddy” – just the name “daddy” can bring the tears. There are days of hope and strength interspersed with hopelessness and tears, often brought on by thoughts of my children. Entering into the new year brings a whole new dimension to the idea of “new year’s resolutions”, as well as dramatic clarity as to what must be overcome. ![]() ![]() ![]() For example, traveling to China back in 2004, I learned about the Terracotta Army discovered near the first Emperor’s tomb and learned that they were built to protect him in the afterlife, which got me thinking about the afterlife and what happens if one of the warriors is broken – do they disappear in the afterlife and, if so, how does that impact the Emperor? This all mutated over the years and I sparked on the idea of the discovery of these warriors on other planets in the galaxy and that became Navigating the Stars. Not all of my ideas will make it into a book or become stories, but I keep a journal as I travel and write it all down. Traveling! I love to travel and I’m always finding inspiration for stories. ![]() What would you consider to be your biggest sources of inspiration when coming up with ideas for new stories to tell?

After an amputation, he is nursed back to health by Françoise, the strong willed daughter of a farmer. When John Franklin brings his plane down into Occupied France at the height of the Second World War, there are two things in his mind: the safety of his crew, and his own badly injured arm. Rather it is a tale of a British Air Force pilot who finds himself injured and relying on the kindness of locals (many of them risking their own lives,) when his plane crashes in Occupied France during World War Two. Anyway, this is a book that isn't to be confused with the delightful Larkin family.

All these characters survive, but the aftermath in New York is scarcely celebratory, with newspapers gossiping and a Senate inquiry delving into the horrific events. On board, Tess catches the eye of a wealthy businessman as well as a rock-solid sailor. ![]() Lucy turns into a selfish, capricious mistress, but Tess endures in hopes of dressmaking work. In Alcott’s version, just before the ship leaves Europe, Lady Lucy hires a maid, Tess Collins, whose real passion is designing and sewing clothes. The behavior of the privileged, in particular Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon and his couturier wife Lady Lucy, raised many questions including rumors of bribery and murder. ![]() ![]() Out of some 2,223 people on board the Titanic, only 706 survived, 60 percent from first class, mainly women, and 25 percent from steerage. Published to coincide with the centenary of the famous shipping disaster, Alcott’s debut wraps a conventional tale of love and wish fulfillment around the much more interesting historical facts. It’s Titanic revisited, in a romance focused on the survivors and the scandal, seen from the perspective of an aspiring seamstress whose fortunes intertwine with real characters from the epic tragedy. ![]() |
