Beethoven’s Tenth and the Journey Which Saved the World

The dutiful but plodding Dr Watson (Sherlock Holmes), the unhinged Captain Ahab (Moby Dick), the oh-so-sweet Melanie Hamilton (Gone with the Wind), the naïve if well-meaning Toto (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) are reimagined in a story of grievance, journey, forgiveness, love and changing the world through music. And not just any music. It’s 2020, Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th birthday. If you thought his Ninth Symphony with its famous Ode to Joy was something special, wait until you read the intriguing, barely believable tale of Beethoven’s Tenth.

‘A wonderful and original little bookie. Princess Ludmilla and ones-self enjoyed it immensely. And the music by that strange German gentleman; one shall definitely purchase the record.’ King Arthur II (formerly Prince Charles) of England

‘Truly, the book for our troubled times. Inspiring, enlightening, enchanting, heart-warming … a stirring tale of hope, struggle and making the best of a shitty situation. And, finally, something new from Beethoven.’  Melody Dove, UN Ambassador for Love, Music and Peace

‘I really hate the happy ending. But we all need to improve ourselves by reading something and this is as good as anything else around.’ Hannibal Lector III

Reminisces

These recollections of a lad growing up at the end of the second millennium on a farm near a small Upper Hunter Valley town in New South Wales, Australia, recreate a glimpse of the way we were not so very long ago.

The tale tells of surviving illness and abuse in sometimes barefoot scarcity, yet with sufficient nurture, nourishment, new things – and hand-me-downs – to inspire feelings of wealth. There was a richness of family and friends, and foes enough to keep life interesting. This heart-warming yarn keeps the reader entertained, yet might challenge your views on public issues regarding people, prejudice and politics. It may even encourage you to think squarely.

Enjoy!

PAPERBACK

Becoming Alfie 

Alfe Norrington was born into poverty in London’s East End in the first minute of the twentieth century. His life was a battle. From the Brick Lane markets where young Alfie pilfered and pickpocketed, to the trenches of Flanders, Alfe fought every step of the way.

Almost killed by a trench bomb he battled to recover and while in a military hospital Alfie made a promise that dramatically changes his life. A true East End hero, Alfie begins his journey away from poverty armed with a robust moral compass and an open heart.

Becoming Alfie is the first in the Alfie Norrington series. It follows the life of a man who positively influenced thousands of people. The world needs more individuals like Alfie Norrington, that give much more than they take.
