BOOK RELEASE!
Ribbonwood Books are pleased to announce the release of a
new novel, Scenic Dream or Silent Nightmare?
A
story of New Zealand by Kate Winters.
About this book:
Kathy and Phil live on a lifestyle block in rural bliss - until aerial 1080
poison is dropped on the forestry block adjacent to their property.
Nancy and Carl are happily married. The only thing missing from their lives is a
child.
Maori brothers Matt and Josh work, hunt and fish for their kai and enjoy a few
beers together.
Rick’s brain was affected by a long and difficult birth. Only his aunt believes
that he may have psychopathic tendencies. Violent and unpredictable, he is
searching for a way to rid her from his life - for good.
Their lives connect as a 1080 drop is proposed for the hills surrounding Birch
Valley.
"An
intriguing tapestry of fiction and fact woven seamlessly together and leaving
the reader, in parts, wondering which is real and which is imaginary. Rich in
character and fast in pace, the story will lead readers to question their own
beliefs and reach a decision on where they stand in regards to the controversial
issue of 1080 use in New Zealand." Tony Adamson, W & A Publications.
About the Author:
This is my first novel. Over the last ten years I have collected many stories
from people throughout our supposed clean green country; sad, horrific, some
almost unbelievable stories of ordinary New Zealanders who have been personally
affected, or whose pets and stock have suffered the cruel death that comes with
1080 poisoning. What's happening here is wrong and I have written this novel
incorporating some of these stories in the belief that our people have the right
to live in a poison-free environment and that New Zealand should be truly Clean
and Green.
