Ross
Richdale
After a career as a teacher and principal of mainly small rural schools, Ross Richdale writes contemporary novels. He lives in the small university city of Palmerston North in the North Island of New Zealand and is married with three children. His wife Kay still carries the burden of teaching children at a local elementary school. Ordinary people rather than the super rich, the super powerful or violent, are the main characters in his novels. He is also keenly interested in current events and uses international incidents as a backdrop for many of his novels. When he is not writing, Ross enjoys drawing, usually on the computer. Other interests include wandering in the countryside and, in the summer, swimming in mountain streams or bounding through the rapids in a tractor tire inner tube. Many of his novels reflect his interest in the rural lifestyle as well as the cross section of personalities encountered during his years as a teacher. Catalystgenre: Thriller and Suspense There is a cave-in at Misty Depths Catacombs, Wyoming, and newly graduated lawyer Renee Bonnet finds herself stranded with a broken leg and two strangers -- Lem, a business man, and a runaway teenager, Courtney. The scene is set for a gripping action story as the victims learn to trust and depend on each other, not knowing whether they will survive the ordeal. All will be revealed in this electrifying romantic drama that combines the sheer force of nature with the frailty of human emotions -- greed, jealousy, passion, companionship and love. You will see the world through the characters' eyes to laugh, weep and fall in love with them. This is a rescue story that does not stop when the victims are rescued but continues, as real life does, to mould new lives for three lonely people. The cave is the catalyst, but what
happens afterwards depends on the new catalyst, Renee, who
finds herself drawn into the lives of her new found
companions. And her own life is altered for ever. Out of the Azure
Sea The U-boat is attacked by American
torpedo bombers off the Bahamas and sunk. Kristin finds
herself in a lifeboat with three others, including Bern
Munkelt, the man she is to spend the rest of her life
with. They are rescued and taken to Little Toe Cay, a
remote island where Kristin's adventures continue. Intermingled with the adventure
covering three generations are the romances between three
generations of Kristen's family. Also, the story tells of
Golden U Marina, the company Kristin and Bern start in
Fort Lauderdale and build into a large enterprise over the
next five decades of their lives. Out of the Azure Sea is an
adventure, a love story and the story of greed, jealousy
and ruthless people as well as a family story centered
around three generations of women and their loved ones. It
will make the reader enthralled and enraptured by the
sheer pace and excitement, common in a Ross Richdale
novel. Sandwiches and Cuckoo
Clocks Matt Coleman is attracted to the new
tenant of his New Zealand shop, Niana Bolsa, when she
opens a food bar adjacent to his antique and furniture
factory. Niana is reluctant to commit herself beyond
friendship and says little about her life. Eventually,
friendship between Niana and Matt blossoms into an abiding
and passionate love as they and Niana's foster children
become a family. But the terror so prevalent in
Niana's past surfaces again -- with a vengeance. Those
thought dead make a return appearance, and the Serbs track
Niana to her new home, brutally exterminating her friends
along the way. This incredibly fast-moving story has
action to thrill you as well as romantic appeal. |
