THE LAST ASBESTOS TOWN
My debut novel is soon to hit the bookstores (online) end of April/early May as the publication is by Adelaide Books LLC an American publisher situated in 5th Avenue, New York USA. A long way to go to promote the book, or even to meet the Editor-in-Chief, Stevan Nikolic. Nevertheless, I have been amazed how professional Adelaide Books are and that they have gone ahead with the book in these dire times. I'm due to receive 45 books but this will take a long time, since they have informed me that their usual international postage/delivery has been disrupted. So too, a planned book launch! But I have waited over a year for this book and another 6-12 months won't matter. BECAUSE the story is too great to suppress.
WHAT IS THE BOOK ABOUT?
An Australian National law has been passed and a group known
as the Asbestos Task Force (A.T.F.) is formed by the government to systematically
remove all known asbestos from towns, cities and suburbs. The city of Perth, Western Australia and surrounds
have undergone this removal, and gradually the task force spreads further
afield into the South West. Their target has reached Farmbridge, an old pioneer
town with numerous asbestos houses and buildings. Newly married, May and Isaac who
plan to renovate their home, an old Girl Guide Hall, experience the imminent
threat of losing their home after receiving their fateful letter. Believing their home is not made from
asbestos, the couple set out on a relentless quest to save the hall from demolition.
EXCITING TIMES
The following is the latest email and I have viewed the PROOF copy. The font on the opening chapters of the split narrative of Isaac & May is terrific! I love the cover and it's a pic of the Girl Guide Hall, the main catalyst of the novel.
