Beyond the Veil
It is a story of cooperation not rivalry, truth not distortion, hope not despair, kindness and concern not violence, time for reflection rather than overstimulation and 'hype', and about understanding and building relationships rather than destroying them or making them superficial.
Spiral patterns in a book, a strange tape of music from Russia, and an oddly carved walking stick all have a profound effect on a group of friends in England.
One reader thought: "Your book I found most interesting though I usually have problems with mysticism, premonitions, strange coincidences etc, being a very down-to-earth person. But your plotting was so ingenious that it carried me along to the happy outcome, from a straight-forward, no-nonsense beginning.
I wonder whether you are writing another book? To complete a work like your first one must need enormous dedication. It has all my admiration."
