Synopsis

Life begins for our characters on an island created especially for their occupation by the twelve Lords of the Zodiac and their King. Although continuous, the story is split up into six episodes, each one being an adventure set around two signs of the zodiac with their responding characters. I have brought in a little mythology, albeit with a generous helping of poetic licence, but feel that it works! The idea is to highlight the way two very different beings behave in various circumstances and their interaction with one another. Hopefully with each adventure, individual personality traits emerge as a chain of events unfolds. The story reaches a crescendo with the most important event of the year, when the King of the Zodiac visits the island to oversee the New Year festivities. A prologue explains how the island came about; how the Lords of the Zodiac found their ideal beings and its occupants are introduced one by one. The full thirteen representatives of the zodiac, when not 'starring' in a tale, all play supporting roles to extend their influence on the plots. I have tried to make the pairing up of the zodiac signs interesting, which in itself was a challenge.Read on and enjoy! Emma Dil

Biographie de l'auteur

My name is Emma Dil and I was born in the Isle of Wight, but brought up mainly in Liverpool. I now live with my husband in Rochdale, a bustling town surrounded by the Pennine Foothills, or as they are geographically known, the 'Backbone of England.' The notion for my stories has been hovering around in my head for many years, so I decided to start writing and see how it evolved. Astrology is such a vast subject that it is difficult to know what to put in and what to leave out. Therefore, with young folk in mind, (possibly between 8 - 13 years), I have concentrated on the most popularised traits of each star sign to keep things simple and tried not to become too enmeshed in the many in intricacies of the subject. I have tried to make the pairing up of the zodiac signs interesting, which in itself was a challenge. The object of the stories is to 'whet the appetite' of the reader, who may wish to delve further into this fascinating angle on life, besides it's FUN! Hopefully astrology will be taken more seriously, as it develops a firmer link with its counterpart, astronomy. It would be wonderful if potential readers of these stories derive even a fraction of the pleasure I have enjoyed from writing them. I would like my characters to 'live on' and have many more adventures, as I am very fond of them all, particularly Molly, with whom I have a natural affinity!
