The Summer BoyDeposited by his dysfunctional city parents for the summer with his eccentric Aunt Mary in a remote Appalachian cove, Benjamin Drum runs away, farther than he ever intended, closer home than he ever imagined. Lost between the mountains, Ben wanders into a strange new world where he is befriended and pursued by beings human and non-human, malevolent and merciful. Before he finds his way back to Mary, he finds himself. The Summer Boy is a genre-defying work, bright and shining as a summer day, dark and deep as a coal mine. |

This Land is My Land‘This Land is My Land’ and ‘Came as ‘me’, Left as ‘we’’ are holiday reads from Alfie Dog Fiction. The collections bring together some of the best short stories from 37 authors across the globe. ‘This Land is My Land’ is more action and adventure driven while ‘Came as ‘me’, Left as ‘we’’ contains a mixture of women’s fiction, feel good stories and romance, and both contain stories to leave the reader thinking. Alfie Dog Fiction’s managing director, Rosemary Kind, says “We know from our readers that they like to stock up on reading matter for their holidays and these collections offer the perfect way to do just that.” Both collections have a truly international feel, not only through the spread of the writers but the fascinating backdrops to the stories. Within the pages the reader will travel from diamond mining in Australia to a lone tree in an African desert, from the quintessential English seaside Pier to the jungles of Malaysia and coast to coast across America. |

I was born in the United Kingdom and emigrated to Australia in my teens.
I worked on a racehorse property below the Great Dividing Range in Victoria. I was living the dream, while reading books by Wilbur Smith and Dick Francis. My love of writing emerged early in my life.
While living in Hong Kong in the nineties, I attended creative writing courses and became involved in writing for club magazines including The Belgian Hong Kong Society and the South China Diving Club’s ”Buddyline”
On returning to Australia life once again carried me away from writing and it wasn’t until a move to a rural property in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, with my husband Peter, whose photographs appear on my website, and our Bearded Collies, Elsa and Kuura, that my passion for writing was reborn.
Theresa Van Meter comes from a long line of storytellers and loves to spin tales of sweet romance.
