Produktbeschreibung

This is a tale from when the world was old. This is what happened at the end. In the earth's grave the Stone Messenger waited. Deep in its belly, the jade seed lay. The world was weary. Its very bones were hollowed out and all the wild places had shriveled away. All that had been was dying. Until Brone, the grower, called it forth. Brone was thrust into the crumbling world and pursued by the terrible beast, Ethon. Still, she guarded the seed. The breath of the world dwindled. Only when the sun had been swallowed and even the memory of Man had been swept away, would the tiny seed flower and bear fruit. There, at the end of all things, was the seed. The seed and the hand that planted it. This is a story that has passed through many lips. The story of our people's birth. This is what happened before the Beginning.

Autorenporträt

A severe addiction to Post-apocalyptic literature combined with a lifetime of a very rural existence, first in central Maine and now in northern Idaho naturally led to both of Deirdre's novels: The Jade Seed and After the Cure.
Deirdre's education in anthropology and peace and conflict studies prompted the central idea for After the Cure: How do people live with each other after doing horrendous things to each other? How do societies put themselves together or continue to exist after terrible wars? What is day to day existence like when such violence exists within living memory? Though fiction can never come close to the reality of living with atrocity, it can help us ask important questions about our world and our treatment of each other.
Since living in the woods makes it all too easy to imagine being one of the last people left in the world, After the Cure is only the first novel of several that will take place in a post-apocalyptic, "post-zombie" world.
