Simon & Schuster's trailer about my detective story
When I was a child in Caracas, Venezuela I longed to be a detective. Inspired by Enid Blyton's characters, by Nancy Drew and Encyclopedia Brown, I wanted a real mystery to solve.
What I didn't realise then was that the mystery was right in front of me, that I'd have to spend decades and cross continents to solve it.
The mystery was my father.
Here's a little trailer that Simon & Schuster made abou Read more of this blog post »

quote
“I'd always written how grief was hollow. How it was a vast cavern of nothing.
But I was wrong. Grief was the exact opposite. It was full and heavy and drowning because it wasn't the absence of everything you lost - it was the combination of it all, your love, your happiness, your bittersweets, wound tight like a knotted ball of yarn. - Florence Day” ...more Ashley Poston |

“If you want to be truly just in this life, when you see people who are weak, you must stand with them. Because you are strong, and it is the weak who need you more, not the strong.”
― When Time Stopped: A Memoir of My Father's War and What Remains
― When Time Stopped: A Memoir of My Father's War and What Remains
“…it was during a period he had so much time on his hands that he felt that time had stopped.
How could time have stopped?
‘Because,’ he said, ‘and you will understand this when you are older, sometimes you feel that everything around you has come to an end. You feel that you are completely alone, that time is frozen and that you are invisible. At first, you might feel exhilarated by the sense of freedom, but then you’ll be frightened that you are lost and you will never be able to go back.’
He explained that when he first felt this, he had been isolated and afraid and had prised open his watch case to verify that time was indeed passing. The rhythm of the watch might have been imagined. Sound was not enough, he needed to see and touch it. It was the first time that he had dismantled a mechanism. The turning wheels, ticking each second away, had reassured him.
It was then that he had comprehended the importance of time.”

“He had scraped his arms and legs, and reddened dirt had lodged in his cuts. Tomorrow, undoubtedly, the contusions would be obvious, but this was of no consequence. Hans seemed to be perpetually covered in bruises. He struggled with coordination and constantly walked into things, misstepping, losing his hat or scarf, or leaving his school books behind. He frequently fell off his bicycle. Organizing his body, his things, or his time was not a strength or,”

There exists a well

We need to sit on the rim
of the well of darkness
and fish for fallen light,
with patience.
