Gilvarry's debut will keep young readers on the edge of their seats
CAIRNS, Australia, Nov. 5, 2009 — Vincent Gilvarry reaches out to young readers with his debut novel, "A Strange Twist of Fate" (published by Trafford), as he shares the story of Adrik and Diego, two seemingly dysfunctional kids, who are a lot more savvy than they appear.
The fictional novel is born out of the idea of an imaginary, energetic world, where the characters engage with cosmic energies as a normal course of events. An intuitive, artificial game catapults Adrik and Diego into a parallel world where they encounter the spectral form of an armadillo, the first in a series of disturbing signs that their world is in danger. Their fortunes change almost immediately when a stranger from another dimension steps out of an energetic doorway and into their hotel room in Arinyah only to confirm their worst fears. They have no choice but to run headfirst into an adventure of a lifetime.
"I suspect this story has been waiting around in the background for a long time and if I had not picked it up and run with it, it would not exist today," Gilvarry said. "I am of the belief that ideas such as this come from a huge storehouse that we accumulate during the course of our lives. It is possibly a fictional version of something that I might have experienced at one time or another, but whether it is or not, I don't really know. What I do know now is that I wrote this story for two reasons; the first was to remind myself of something I needed to know and the other was that I have always wanted to read a story like this."
So follow these young men as they survive numerous encounters that could prove deadly in "A Strange Twist of Fate."
