The engineer and I sat in a small bay surrounded by a comfortable silence. Apart from the seabirds, and the gentle sound of water on the boat’s hull, we were alone with our thoughts.

The harsh New Zealand sun beat down on our backs, and kayaks sat like fat slugs on the white sand of a crescent shaped bay. I watched the nylon sitting neglected on the mirrored surface of the water, and I wondered how long a lamb chop would take to defrost. I looked at the vines silhouetted against a cloudless blue sky, and the bush clad hills that formed folds like a fat ladies belly before they kissed the granite coloured cliffs.

“I think I will write a book.”

“Uh ha” sighed the engineer. That sound by definition means, “oh no here we go again!”

“About what?” He sighed and slumped, already resigned to the news.

“A romance”. The engineer struggled to stifle a groan. I tried to regain his interest.

“Waiheke Island and the New Zealand high country. Relationships and their dynamics. A real story, perhaps including my Joanne.”

A frown played across his face. “Uh ha.” He shook his head and his glazed focus returned to the unmoving nylon of his fishing line.

So begun two years of stolen moments on the keyboard, travelling the path of Twin Pines Station, Marinella Vineyard and the Clarke Family. I explored through my characters the heartbreak of loss, and the healing power of love, the dynamics of family and the constraints imposed by our upbringing.

Don’t get me wrong, my motivation for writing a novel cannot be completely attributed to a sunny day, when the fishing was hard, and the lamb chops were frozen. It was also born through a need to immerse myself in a new project.

Years of driving an archaic truck and watching my daughter compete in various countries, on various horses, of picking up endless piles of poo, from endless species of animals had left me a busy, but just functioning zombie. It was time to think, to be selfish, to do what no mother can do until their children reach that special age, the age when parents are seen as little more than a hindrance. I did something for myself. I began the story of The Quilt, Unravelled and with it came a new life. One of cold meals, paddocks piled high with smelly heaps of poo and a mind that wandered off with a complicated family that had a story to tell.

The Quilt

By Mr. Butler - Rated 5 # Thank you!

my wife and I both read this. What a an intense and beautifully written book. The author really captures fantasiice dialogue and character development which I seek when reading books like this... definitely one of my favorite novels so far in 2015. If you to be seduced and hooked in by a solid read, this book is definitely for you. This should become a tv series or have its own movie. It's that good in my opinion.

Thank you to those that have downloaded The Quilt, Unravelled today! I hope you enjoy the journey of the Clarke family as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Tomorrow will be the last day of this sale.

Description (Amazon Kindle)

This should become a TV series or have its own movie. It's that good in my opinion." Review by Mr Butler.

Joanne Kyle watched the image of a naked man waving with one hand while struggling to keep a towel in place with the other. It would have been amusing had it not been her fiancé who was fading from sight in the rear-view mirror. A few hours later she sat on the filthy floor of an airport toilet. Joanne could hold a courtroom mesmerized when she spoke, she could turn heads as she walked through a crowd. Today she could not keep one part of her life together.

Paul is the first member of the Clarke family to feel stifled by life on iconic Twin Pines Station. He wants to break away from the farming tradition, and to do this, he must leave his self-absorbed girlfriend. But Leslie has no intention of letting the most eligible bachelor in the King Country go, and she will stop at nothing to get her own way.

Tragedy brings Joanne and Paul together. What happens will change their lives forever.

Follow the unforgettable story of the Clarke family, and share a romance that will stay with you long after the last page is turned.
