Alan Clay runs Artmedia Publishing, and Playspace Studio.
His new novel, 'Believers in Love', is now available worldwide from
bookshops, or online stores like www.amazon.com
===================================================
Sponsor - Fiction from Artmedia Publishing
===================================================
"Believers in Love is a powerfully creative work, with prose that
sings like poetry. Beautifully told and evocatively rendered,
Believers in Love comes very highly recommended."

Giving Meaning
Sarah sat at the side of the road, with what looked like the
contents of her pockets spread out on a towel before her.
"What are you doing?" her father asked.
"I'm fishing for trout," the girl told him.
The father looked amused, but said nothing, and determined
to watch how the game proceeded.
Soon a passer-by stopped, and asked Sarah the same
question.
"I'm writing a book." she responded.
Each person who stopped to ask, and the father counted
fifteen in about ten minutes, was given a different answer.
"How many trout have you caught?" he finally asked.
"About fifteen in the last ten minutes," the girl answered.
"Believers in Love, the third offering by quirky Australian novelist,
Alan Clay, is about love, laughter and life. This is not just a story;
it is an exploration of emotion and philosophy. A novel of journey
and self-discovery."

MimoClan from Cuba, Heather and Darren Stevenson from the USA,
Luis Oliva, Sorely Muentes, Iván Olmo and his physical theater
company POLIMNIA from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Next year will be

and update the information at no charge, and maintain your traffic
