Random Thoughts Again
My sixth novel:
I’m still working hard on self-edits of "Green Expectations" and finding ways to deal with those niggling little bits that don’t sound quite right or might not be clear enough to the reader.
A pre-release reviewer (without payment) has said of the manuscript: “A great tale that will appeal to environmentalists and the mystery-thriller aficionado. Devine uses his knowledge of environmental management to weave a story exposing the strength of passions on both side of the ‘green’ argument.”
Stress:
When your life is full of stress anything new (illness, for example) almost tips you over the edge of feeling you can’t cope anymore. I’ve been sick but I’m recovering.
Same-sex marriage:
A law change allowing same-sex marriage is going through the Parliamentary process in New Zealand. I made a submission but the Parliamentary Select Committee did not choose me as one of the submitters who would be given the chance to speak to them on the subject. Briar Cornwall got that opportunity (NZ Catholic February 10, 2013), submitting that marriage between a man and a woman is a taonga (treasure) for Maori and deserving of protection under the Treaty of Waitangi. Good on her.
