From the historical events in Where The Fox Goes".The people stand up for their rights at the time of the enclosures.. Some of the best people were sent to Australia.

An extract from "Where The Fox Goes" 
       “Rose saved your life, too.” said Edwin. “If she hadn’t shouted, Harry wouldn’t have reached you in time.”     
       “Do you know who I am?” Michael asked her.
       “Yes. You’re the bad man who wants to take the wastelands away.” said Rose bravely.
       “But you shouted to your father to save me! ”
       “Yes.” said Rose.
       “It’s in the family.” said Edwin, dryly.
       “Would you do that for my child? ”  Michael asked Rose, who was looking up at him, unflinchingly, with her clear blue eyes.
       “Would there be man traps in the field? ”
 He looked down at his feet and shook his head.  
       “No.”
       “Would  we be hung or sent to Australia?”
       “No.”
       “If the field was hedged in, you wouldn’t be able to get there in time, anyway.” said her father.

Singing a favourite hymn in the mist.

Singing a favourite hymn when things were tough was what Alan did,  if he thought no one could hear him.

Why now?

     Several years ago, when I wrote Everyone Can be a herO, (fiction from the future) I didn't know what was going to happen at Fukushima.  In my book I guessed that the English government would be sparing when it came to the truth about the amount of radioactive contamination left and that there would still be people around wanting to make money out of nuclear power. There would also be a majority of people who didn't want it and just wanted a healthy and fairer life for the future generations, although they knew that, because of the accident, their future would be blighted by increased disease and mutations.  In my book, however, no one speaks about it. The kids don't know much about nuclear waste, because they boycotted nuclear power lessons on principle.
     Society has learned to cope without oil and it hasn't been as hard as people expected, but when a nuclear accident happens, this is something that can't just be a forgotten event. The aftermath is there for millions of years.
     It takes people power and a deal of bravery to protest and stand up against the hidden lobby who want to make money out of the situation and whereas the good guys play clean, the bad guys play dirty.  Plus ca change...

A cat, the snow, and a kind heart.

   Sometimes it takes a cat or another animal to melt a frozen heart, sometimes it's the cold snowy weather that brings out the hidden kindness in people, and sometimes a sprinkling of kindness can melt a path through a frozen landscape.
    But the thing is....that it doesn't stop there.
To find out more, read Where The Fox Goes, a tale of kindness at a time of hardship, of people sharing and of people standing up for their rights in a time of recession and oppression. This is Christian family fiction with a difference, non judgmental, compassionate and inclusive.
