Maya

About the Book

An adventure awaits as Milo sits and watches the world going by, lingering at the appointed place for the shaman-like Tommy as he chews over the twists and turns that have brought him back to where the echoes seem to know him, where it feels like home. Maya is an illusion of the senses that blocks out our truth, and what is revealed as its journey unfolds, accompanied by memories that resonate, music that’s dear and the too few good friends, is a jumble of yearnings: to belong, to understand, to achieve true happiness, all in a world of treachery where deep running currents are obscured from the eye; where broken relationships, trip-wire pitfalls and the fight with one’s own desires can so often be disastrous. This beautiful tale morphs gently from prosaic history to something less sure, shimmering between what’s gone before, what is yet to come and what may never be, yet all the while remaining honest right through to the surreal conclusion where redemption is found. Full of surprises, this is the heartfelt tale of one who knows. It speaks to us all.

About the Author

The author lives in London with his beautiful, long-suffering Penelope, three exasperating children, and a very small dog. Journeying extensively through life’s realms of emotion, he has swum conflicting rivers in search of a true stroke while trying to keep his head above water, watching in confused fascination as the boy that he was became slowly a man - barely changing in doing so. This work is the culmination of a long held ambition and, with a variety of different voices, pays tribute to the sights and sounds that have led his way here; to the people that have touched him, and to that baffling, elusive light that has seemed always to entreat him on.
