About

Born in Greenwich (London, UK) I began my professional life as a trainee accountant for an emblematic, though now defunct, airline. I spent the next quarter of a century gnawing my way up the corporate food chain, ascending to the agreeable billet of country manager to the Spanish branch of a successful software house. Having honed my creative writing talents on a myriad of mellifluous emails, inspired management reporting and imaginatively worded submissions as to why sales targets were not being met, I decided to go the whole hog and immerse myself full-time in the world of fiction writing. Your ComeUppance and The AQALAN Initiative are the first of my novels to hit the virtual bookshelves. Madrid has been my home for much of the last fifteen years. Due to the precarious and mostly impecunious nature of my new-found profession, I have redoubled my resolve not to marry, not to have kids, and not to own a Mercedes.

Description

<p><font color="#000000" face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><span style="line-height:normal;">An Amazon #1 bestseller with 50+ glowing reviews. </span></font></p><p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">Available in Kindle and print.</span></p><p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">From the very start of her faith autobiography, ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow’, author Bobbie Ann Cole reaches out across the page and endears herself to her reader. You will very quickly feel that you know her, and will be richer for the knowledge. </span></p><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;height:auto;"><div>She comes to Israel, seeking meaning and purpose for her life, following breast cancer and the demise of her long-standing marriage. There, God claims her and lays a trail of miracles that lead her from her native England to a new husband of faith in Atlantic Canada. <br />Though she is upfront about her ending, you’ll find yourself longing to learn the next step in her discovery of new love and deeper faith journey. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. Potentially, you’ll be following the twists and turns of her journey into the wee small hours. <br />‘A mysterious rug with a life-changing message, a Ruth-type love story, fascinating interactions with other believers, poetic descriptions of landscapes many native Canadians take for granted—and a message of God’s love and salvation,’ writes critic Margaret Welwood. ‘Bobbie Ann Cole’s story is a little too strange and untidy to be fiction. As a true story, it will leave you satisfied, yet wanting to know more.’ <br />‘Often times, life will take us to the end of our rope, leaving us helpless and at our wit’s end. Yet, even in such dire situations, our God is not helpless. He will bring in plentiful harvest – a harvest of renewal, hope, joy and happiness in our life,’ says Khamneithang Vaiphei. ‘She Does Not Fear the Snow is an incredible testimony that will have a profound impact on you.’ <br />If mystery, romance, women’s faith issues, the Jewish roots of Christianity, Christian living or outreach appeal to you, you will find much to enjoy.</div><div> </div></div>

Story Behind The Book

I had lived and worked in Spain for 14 years when I had the chance to sit down and put together a novel which covered many things for which I love Spain; the history, the Moorish architecture and the fiestas - above all, La Feria de Abril (Sevilla). I wanted to juxtapose comedy with drama, light against dark, good against evil ... and to top it all I wanted an unusual and unlikely hero. So that´s what "The AQALAN Initiative" will hopefully provide. I enjoyed writing it ... something which I hope you might pick up on should you read it.

<p class="western" align="justify" style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;">Overall a strong, crafted narrative that evokes reaction. There is confidence and originality leaping from the pages. The story is utterly engaging and was a pleasure to edit.</p> <p class="western" align="justify" style="margin-top:.2cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"> A clever and controlled ending to what has been a highly crafted novel that speaks of experience. </p> <p class="western" align="justify" style="margin-top:.2cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"> I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed reading this submission. I would go as far as saying that it is one of the best I’ve read in all my years working with BubbleCow. I feel strongly that (the author) should be seeking publication for this novel.</p> <p class="western" align="justify" style="margin-top:.2cm;margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:150%;"> www.bubblecow.net</p>
