"Works of art make rules; rules do not make works of art"

Claude Debussy

Fire Fighter

TBA

Esther Lake's next novel will follow Hugh, a firefighter living in Yukon, Canada. We learn about Hugh via flashbacks and reverie, from his early decision to become a rescuer, through his training and the start of his career. On one of his calls, Hugh encounters an interesting old hoarder.  They develop an unusual bond which serves as backdrop for many ideas, new and old. Is Alistair simply an ill old man? Or is he really a sage in disguise? As is usual for Esther's stories, the backdrop for this tale is semi-imaginary and partly Luddite, in a not-quite-parallel world ... with subtle sci-fi/fantasy overtones. Stay tuned.
