☆•°*°•☆Meet the Author☆•°*°•☆
I come from a family of five. I am the youngest, perhaps the
free spirit of the family. I was educated at various schools, before going on
to Art Schools, to do a degree in painting and an MA in printmaking. I
loved most of my time at Art school, having experienced a painful time at
school, where I was an outsider. Moved to Austria in 1995, lived there for two
years and began teaching English as a foreign language. Alongside this I
have always followed a lot of other creative activities, including music.
During the nineties, did many concerts/raves and some short tours, playing
electronic music. While in Austria, began to write stories. Moved back to
England, where upon pursued teaching career, including teaching English
(literature/language) and Art. Decided to move to France at the end of 1999
have lived there ever since and have taught among other things British and
American culture and Architecture.
~Book~
Flight of Destiny is a
collection of short stories about misfortune. They are characterized by
unexpected final twists, that come at the end of each tale. They are dark and
surreal tales, set around the world, at different time periods. They show a
world in which anything can happen. It is hard to determine reality and what is
going on a disturbed mind. People's conceptions about morality are turned
upside down. A good person can be transformed by an unexpected event into a bad
person and then back again to their former state. The high and mighty often
deliver flawed arguments, those considered wicked make good representations of
themselves. Revenge is often a subject explored.
Some of my favorite characters in the book
Bugeyes
We live in a world of body image stereo types, are perpetuated by the
media. Those unfortunate beings, born with abnormalities, could face a lifetime
of cruel jokes, and in this story's case rejection.
Bug-eyes
was destined to a life of toil. As his mother, Lady Harriet Lombard, remarked
gruffly when holding her swaddled first born, "He has disproportionate
eyes," adding tersely, "the child's abnormal." As she handed the
squalling reject back to the doctor, she decreed, "Drop it down the well
for all I care."
Maggot
“If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money
can't buy” Not all follow this proverb. A rich person thinks that his money
will buy the beauty of a young girl, while her father thinks her sale will
solve his money problems, both are in for a surprise, even the most beautiful
of apples can go bad
Maggot was enraged and banged his fist on the
table! Knives, forks, spoons and plates flew into the air, tossing food
everywhere. Up to this point, the banquet had been cordial, even good-humored.
Necessary pleasantries and toasts had been exchanged. But as soon as serious
negotiations had begun, as soon as money was brought into the equation,
everything quickly went wrong.
Little Mite
This is a story for those people whose little
sister or younger sibling have managed to do some irredeemable damage to their
personal life, for those who have tried a trick that has gone horribly
wrong.
Arrival
The task of placing a name, can be
niggling, but what if this task becomes an obsession and the person
behind the name a dark specter ?
"Mr. Weisler
is coming! Mr. Weisler is coming! Mr. Weisler is coming!" The words swirled around in his head like a rampant tornado,scooping up all his thoughts, amplifying them until the mixture
seemed ready to devour him. Yet, what was vexing him was that he could neither connect to nor put a face to the name.

~The message in my novel that I
want readers to grasp~
I would like readers to perceive
things in a different way. I would like them to see the world through the eyes
of the underdog or outsider. I would like to think about how cruel people can
be to one another. In my stories the oppressed often rise up in the end and
enact some kind of revenge. There are many messages woven into my stories. They
often attack the establishment.
