TODAY HARRY POTTER -- TOMORROW 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.

Above is a beautiful photo of a real meadow somewhere. 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. To the right is a close up depicting them in the painting of "The Meadow".

Who could have dreamed that a geeky boy with spectacles, who looks more like the Milky Bar Kid than a real literary hero, could have brought so much wealth and success to J K Rowling? She is now the most successful author of all time and this is thanks to an idea whereby she would bring fantasy into the hearts and minds of people, both young and old.

I'm pretty sure that she only intended to create a hero suitable for children of a certain age, where there was no present child-character to fill such a large void. Perhaps she wanted something for her own children or nephews and nieces, not being satisfied with what she could find on the bookshelves. She certainly found it, and now with seven highly successful books spawning seven movies, J K is to be congratulated. Well done J K. I'm not a Harry Potter buff, but you certainly provided the inspiration and motivation I needed.

However, I'm curious to know exactly what the appeal is which caused the Harry Potter saga to be purchased by up to one twentieth of the global population. Fantasy seems to be the key. People are more than happy to have their minds occupied with fun and adventure in a dimension where almost anything is possible. So who am I to argue with this?

About three years ago I came across someone over the Internet who encouraged me to get an idea, which had been lodged in my head for far too long, manifested into the written word. This person eventually became my writing partner and between us, without ever meeting face to face, we created "The Meadow". Here, the fantasy is more of a desire within each of us because everything written is based on natural laws.

The story begins with an ancient legend which forecasts that when two people in love find two special feathers, symbolically representing the law of attraction, then that love will live on for ever. Try understanding how love can live on without the earthly body and you will discover that there is a novel that has been written which covers two people who have been designated to demonstrate to an unbelieving world how a life can be truly lived over many, many lives.

As with all good novels, "The Meadow" is not short of all the ingredients that will grip the reader, especially when they witness a nemesis who is hell-bent on achieving the downfall of these two souls as they move on through life after life, covering thousands of years, in their desperate attempt to unite. This nemesis has had his way for far too long as our heroes meet during several lifetimes but never reach that bonding stage where they can prove their love to the world. Each time that they are thwarted by those who hate them, they have to find each other in the celestial watering hole called The Meadow.

This is the place where souls, who have unfinished business in the physical world, go to rest in between lives. There is a strong message in this novel and the idea that reincarnation can be conceived as something that is very real is meant only to provide that seed of curiosity. It is not an imposition. I'll leave that kind of stuff for the Establishment who certainly will not be happy when they witness the introduction of "The Meadow" - a novel that allows Harry Potter breathing space to finally grow up and let another genre take his place.

A man and a boy have a very special connection between them. There is a common demoninator and that is a clue in itself. Find out when you read "The Meadow".


Could the man be the hero or the 'baddy'? The point is that the 'goody' and the 'baddy' are characters that are part of "The Meadow". Perhaps you can't decide yet. When you read the book then maybe you can make that choice.

The hero is a professor of mathematics and an expert in martial arts. The 'baddy' is an expert in neuro linguistic training and sophisticated electronics and is also an expert in martial arts.

One has been stalking the other for countless years. You can find out for how long when you read "The Meadow".

All the places mentioned in "The Meadow" are real, even Thorp Pelkington which you will not find on a map no matter how detailed. Here are just some of them. Watch out for more in other lenses.

Beamish Open Air Museum is such a marvellous place. No wonder we chose this as a location in "The Meadow."

Above right is the high street in the museum and below is a very important picture. This is where our female protagonist, Eva, meets up with the monk Chong-ba. The information he has for her changes her life completely. From here on the adventure really comes to life and things get messy.

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.
