Steering a Safe Passage

Where are we now, after FRESH BEGINNINGS was Book of the Day for the Online Book Club last month? There’ve been several new reviews, mostly rather pleasing, a few scathing, one even suggesting that the stories must not be recommended to anyone under seventeen because the bonobo who narrates the story ‘A Touch of Natural History’ witnesses two young humans appreciating each other rather a lot…
Well, a good Quaker friend of mine did once call it raunchy, but I daresay he’s forgotten that.
To steer a safe passage, I should now flag up again my novel A DISTANT VOICE IN THE DARKNESS, which you remember couldn’t be Book of the Day because the ebook version is £3.50.
That was a shame, because a lot of people worldwide might have appreciated a love story set over several decades in Nigeria, Wales, Rome, Copenhagen, and extending to Bengal, Australia, Lesotho and even the Grand Canyon.
I took Steering a Safe Passage as the name for the website which highlights a combination of Robin Attfield’s philosophy publications and my own fiction over the decades. To illustrate this I use the cheeky photograph of our twin great-nieces steering a boat in Halong Bay, north-east Vietnam, where there are magnificent towering limestone islands, a truly amazing place to visit.
That photo was long ago of course; last year we celebrated the twins’ graduation from different UK universities, and both are doing great since.
