    About this ebook

    Walk the Edge explores the relationship of two people confronted with death and the loss of their love. The author wrote the novel when confronted with his own probable death, and through the pages of the novel explored the themes of the meaning of life and death, creativity, spirituality and the issues confronting the global world.
    The unique power of the novel lies in the fact that these pages reflect,from the early events to the last day, in the changing views of the characters and their progressive discovery of a faith, what happened within the author over the months of writing the novel.
    Classical music, principally of the contemporary era, fills the work. The day by day reality for the author was that, in a state of physical weakness, he listened to music and wrote, the music weaved into his writing.

      An Unwanted Christmas Gift

      Nov 26, 2021
