The year is 2050. The globe is split in two, divided between the Red Block and the Buro. Both sides are using identical policies to dominate their fiefdoms, using fear as a weapon of control. Adam Brandon is a news scriptwriter for the Buro. He is cocooned in his small but grand world, concocting news stories that have a tenuous connection to the truth. His world falls apart when the Buro tests him - and he is found wanting. Cast out, he soon discovers a subculture where he can survive. This is a story of the hidden dangers between the present day and 2050, partly looking in the rear view mirror to give a perspective of past events - covid, climate change, the push to renewables, the move to increasing state control and the rise of AI. By the time the Buro realises the true threat, it's all too late.

If Dante had left a journal, what would it say about how he came to write his masterpiece, The Divine Comedy? What if he actually took a journey into a Hell-on-Earth and then continued upwards towards the stars? If his great love, Beatrice, had not died young after all, could he find her? If so, was there still time for them? Beginning with an aggrieved father's request to repair his daughter's reputation-which meant it was time to write again- at the pace of a theme park ride the reader and Dante set out across the horizon of history from pagan times up through the early 1300s on an Easter Weekend pilgrimage in 1302. Seeking the woman he loves, the poet first meets a cast of characters with immutable assignments in the city of Dis. Surviving this frightening place, with his friend, da Forli, he continues his quest, buoyed by tales of a nunnery where a beautiful woman now lives. Sightings of a woman who might be his Beatrice are described not by whispery souls but by sinners seeking to accomplish a heavenly repose. The poet sees their dream and their redemptive strivings as being like his own. Whether in references to the old and new testaments as taught by the Catholic Church or in reprises of Roman history or in recollections of Medieval Italy, embroiled in the factional enmity of families and political parties, always in the background is a human love story. Let the reader participate in this imagination and join Dante in Chasing Beatrice.
At twenty-three I gave up my well-paid medical profession in England and moved to Crete to teach English for a year. Why? Because I thought there had to be more to life. I felt I was escaping, in fact I was learning, learning what was missing in my life... our lives. I went back to radiography, saved and headed to Australia. Bought a Kombi van and travelled from Perth up the wild and unique coastline and around to Sydney. Eventually settling on the beautiful Central Coast of Australia. It was the connection with nature that was missing. I had a family, studied herbal medicine and Ayurveda and finally, thankfully, I started practicing yoga. Slowly over the years, my mind became quieter and another connection began to grow, a connection to my true home, my body and heart. Create a better life for yourself and those around you. Follow your heart. Start small but dream big! You have the rest of your life after all. Keep on learning and enriching your life.
