Liminal Spaces and My Book, "The Cave," based on the real story of The Thai Cave Rescue.

"Books are a portable kind of time travel. We go back as well as forward when we read them. When we come back into the now, after being immersed in worlds previously unknown to us, we find ourselves, transformed. Touched by their magic, nothing we ever perceived beforehand remains quite the same.” - Suzy Davies

When writing my Y. A /Adult Book, "The Cave," I wanted to write something that was more than just a fact by fact account of The Thai Cave Rescue, and take the reader on a magical journey into a liminal space - a place where reality itself is distorted, and boundaries of Time and Place as we know it are overturned. Liminal Spaces are places where anything is possible - and they are a kind of threshold and portal of transition between two states of being.

It makes sense that my story, "The Cave," is a coming of age story, and marks the rite of passage in which The Wild Boars felt the warmth of people's love for them which emanated from all over the world. In my book, I depict a Dantesque journey from the darkness into the light and show how these courageous young men passed on their way to manhood. At the end of their mystical adventure, they understood the importance of their family and friends and the true meaning of love.
