MY PERSONAL BANNER
This has been taken from my working days when I was going through a massive change, leaving a business partner and going it alone. It was like the Phoenix rising rising again. Strangely my mother was dying and she lived in a place called Phoenix House. I combined a symbolic outline of her along with the legendary bird and I now use it in her memory.
Music
"The Meadow" was written to the music of Enigma. Here is a taste as it visually describes someone's thoughts around their music. --

Heroes
Jack Reacher, Lee Child's larger-than-life character who is 6ft. 5in. and built like a brick outhouse.
Maximus Decimus Meridius -- wonderfully portrayed by Russel Crowe. I've heard that he wasn't too happy with some of the lines that he had to say. Now they are recorded in history.
About me: I've just completed co-authoring a novel of more than 600 pages; a huge venture which took more than two and a half years to complete.
My writing partner is Elfreda Pretorius and, would you believe, we never met until the book had been completed. How it all started is a long story and I shall be explaining all of this in detail in various blogs that you will find posted here. Watch out for The Meadow.
MEET HOLLY. SHE'S THE OTHER WOMAN IN MY LIFE AND BOY DOES SHE KNOW IT. HOWEVER SHE'S A GREAT INSPIRATION TO ME.
Who I'd like to meet:
Apart from Nelson Mandela, all the publishers and literary agents who think that a love story which began in antiquity and spanned thousandS of years into the present time is worth looking at.
Failing that, it would be Ridley Scott who gave us Gladiator. After all, we both come from the same neck of the woods.
Dear Mike and Elfreda, I loved The Meadow and I have no doubt in my mind that it will be a great success and all who read it will be forever changed. You may have found a way to “awaken the masses”. You are not only a wonderful writer but a Master Teacher. You explained to me concepts that I have been struggling to fully comprehend. The lessons you incorporated in the story will not affect those who are not ready for the awakening, they will just enjoy the story, but the thousands and thousands who are almost there will not be able to read this story without being forever changed and at the very least gain a thirst to know more. I am truly inspired to be more, more than I was in each of my past lives. To embrace my lessons and become more than I was. The Meadow Truly is a wonderful touching novel. From an entertainment standpoint it has all the romance and excitement, adventure and intrigue anyone could want in an entertaining story. It was my pleasure to read this book. I spent many hours traveling through time and visiting interesting lands with you as I read. It was at times hard to put down as I fell in love with the charters in the story I had a hard time leaving them to their next adventure. The story line grabs you from the first page and wraps you up in a intriguing web that is truly spellbinding. I have been enjoying books since I was 6 years old and learned to read. I can truthfully say I have never read a book that was written like The Meadow. You managed to put it together in a way I have never before encountered. The way you introduce the story and move on to all the different lives our heroes experience is wonderful. Then just when it is least expected the story burst out into the real adventure, It really took me by surprise, as if the first 83 pages we not exciting and compelling enough suddenly we are thrown into a adventure of epic importance! That was when it really got hard to put down. I must admit wholeheartedly the third s
