Almost a year after the publication of 'Jacko' my new novel is finished. (Lockdown helped.) It is now in the final stages of preparation for publication. It's called 'The Fable of Flitcroft Point'. There's no cover yet but the cover blurb is written and ready to go.
The Fable of Flitcroft
Point
Early in the twenty-first
century a series of viruses killed eighty percent of the world’s population. Famine
loomed.
In New Zealand there was
plenty of food but too few people to process it. The surviving city folk therefore
fled to the countryside where they provided labour to the remaining farmers in
return for a share of the food they produced. As a result the country’s towns and
cities were abandoned.
Into this vacuum, in 2076,
came the Vandiers, so numerous and wealthy they dominated the small Kiwiland
population whose traditions, culture, religion and language they despised.
The Fable of Flitcroft
Point is set in a typical Kiwiland
village where the Vandier government has taken village land for its own
purposes. The Kiwilanders decide they want their land back. But can their
feeble protest succeed against the overwhelming power of central government?
