Welcome to The Meadow home page. "The Meadow" -- a great love story with a difference

"The Meadow" is ready to be shared with the world.

However, before that can happen, there are certain factors which need addressing.

The main issue here is to get the story out there and attract people by showing snippets and characters in the book.

Here goes my lists of articles for you to follow regarding a great love story that spans over thousands of years.

I hope you can get something from all of them.

Publication of a great story is only the beginning.

Now it has to find its rightful place amongst the bookshelves with all the other fantastic works of fiction.

This can only happen when it is brought into people's awareness.

"The Meadow" has taken two and a half years to write and the authors do not intend for it to take that long to gain momentum as it reaches public scrutiny.

We rely on the power of the Internet and the tools which are available to us.

There are many potential readers out there and using the right approach by using this facility will go a long way to helping us achieve our goals.

Watch this space.

Once you begin to read "The Meadow" your mind will possibly take you to another world and let you experience a meadow from another dimension -- a celestial watering hole where souls go to rest between physical lives.

This is how the story begins, with a legend, where two tail feathers are cast from an eagle and an owl in an aerial display.

Welcome to The Meadow Blog, a way of trying to get across, by way of interaction and communication, a message about a story that was written by two people - Mike O'Hare and Elfreda Pretorius. We came across each other totally by accident. In fact we met over the Internet through a mutual friend and from that point we discovered that we shared a very unique story.

With two continents between us and a distance of more than five thousand miles, we managed to produce a complete work of fiction, comprising of more than five hundred pages without ever laying eyes on one another. When you consider the difficulties that exist between two writers in similar circumstances in the normal sense of the word, then I hope that you can appreciate the amazing achievement that has occurred here.

Now that the story has been finished, we aim to market the novel in the most effective way possible. So here I am, along with my writing partner, champing at the bit and raring to go down the blogging route to successful sales. It's going to be a long haul, but I'm ready for the interaction and opportunity that it will bring to make new friends along the way and, maybe, just create that big break.

"The Meadow" is a story about life. It is not just a book of fiction, but conveys and graphically illustrates how love between two people can last into eternity. This story is about how two souls find themselves born into antiquity and strive to unite life after life. Yes, this is about past lives, or reincarnation if the word does not offend your values and beliefs.

As with all good novels, "The Meadow" has all the ingredients that will make it a great read. Once the subject of sex, violence, intrigue, mystery, political/religious upheaval, and even a bit of magic are got out of the way, it leaves the road clear to witness and experience the undying love which exists between two people. Because of the polarities that exist in a physical world, there are always the opposing forces that prevent our two heroes from reaching their goal.

As a consequence of this, the pair find themselves, alongside their faithful animal companion, in The Meadow, a celestial watering hole where souls with unfinished earthly business, go to rest before deciding on their next plans to incarnate and move along life's rich path to glory and happiness.

In 1986 I was under a great deal of stress. My mother was dying of cancer and I was undergoing horrendous business relationships with my equal partner.

My mother died, coinciding with my decision to go it alone and break the partnership and form a new business.

I commemorated this by designing this emblem/logo in memory of my late mother and in recognition of a new start in business.

It has remained with me ever since and has accompanied many articles that I have written, as well as being the company logo that accompanied all business administration.

"Sparrow in my hand" is the personal Avatar of my writing partner, Elfreda.

Drawn by her son, it commemorates a turning point in her life when that same son, at the age of seven, overcame life threatening injuries sustained in an accident.

This is his vision of his mother as a little girl, wondering how to save a baby sparrow that fell from its nest - the same way she wondered how to help him survive all those years ago.

"Sparrow in my hand" is the book of his healing they intend to write in the near future.
