The Beekeeper - from the collection: 'Night Flight from Marabar'	by Karen Overman-Edmiston April 19, 2010	8534 words	Sample 50%
Author bio: The genesis of the novel 'The Avenue of Eternal Tranquillity'. (Nautilus Book Awards winner 2010) I love to travel, and I often use experiences from my travels in my writing. For example, when flying from Vienna to Moscow a few years ago I had a bout of food poisoning so, on reaching the hotel in Moscow I was in bed for about 36 hours. I awoke in the wee hours on Boxing Day and went to the window, it was still dark outside. Down in the snow in the car park between the hotel and River Moskva a man had got out of his car, taken off his hat and coat and laid down in the snow. He looked as though he had simply gone to sleep, curled on his side. The police came, took notes, and left the body under a piece of matting. Some time later I boarded the trans-Siberian train for Siberia and China, but I couldn't get the image of the man in the snow out of my mind. Why would a person do such a thing? He would have known that taking off his warm clothes and choosing to lie down in the snow in such ferociously low temperatures would mean certain death. Oddly enough, he looked quite peaceful and resigned to his action. 'The Avenue of Eternal Tranquillity' is a sort of fictional history leading up to that moment. An attempt at an explanation as to why someone would choose to die and why, perhaps, they would seem so comfortable in making such a choice. I know it sounds a bit depressing, but it's actually a very uplifting story! We are a culture, I think, that deals badly with death, particularly if the event is unexpected. I wanted to write a story that would provide some comfort or reassurance to those who have lost someone they love. I hope this book is reassuring, especially for those who have quieter voices. The intertwining story involves a couple travelling the trans-Siberian from Beijing to Moscow in the present day - full of fascinating insights for those who love to travel! The other couple, Pyotr and Yuliya, live in Moscow in the 1960s. The couplesâ€™ stories plait throughout the novel but come together at the novelâ€™s end. The landscapes traversed really provide a backdrop to the more important internal landscapes of each of the characters. The book is simply an ode to tenderness, to the kindness people can offer to one another. Kindnesses that seem small but really are the essence of being alive; living a full life. ******************** Peopleâ€™s motivations and their interior life are at the core of Karen Overman-Edmistonâ€™s writing. In addition, impressions and experiences gained while travelling are strong contributors to her work. Both of these factors are strongly evident in the recently published novel, 'The Avenue of Eternal Tranquillity', as well as in the earlier publication, 'Night Flight from Marabar', a collection of short stories. Karen Overman-Edmiston was born in the United Kingdom. Educated in England and Ireland, she finished her studies in Australia, gaining a Master of Arts at the University of Western Australia. Karen has written for the stage and has had competition-winning plays performed, including at the Perth Festival of the Arts. She is also a prize-winning short story writer who has had several stories published. 'The Avenue of Eternal Tranquillity' is a 2010 Nautilus Book Awards winner in the Fiction/Visionary Fiction category. Night Flight from Marabar was reviewed in the Australian Book Review in September 1999. In his review, Ben Zipper commented that the writerâ€™s work â€˜emerges with a strong coherence and singularity of tone.â€™ and that the author â€˜uses location to wise advantage, as a tool of explaining and exploring human experience.â€™ Zipper concluded his review with the comment, â€˜This collection clearly shows promise of more to come.â€™ Copies of the anthology have sold well across Australia in bookstores and through online sites. Having previously worked for the West Australian government, Karen runs her own consultancy business as well as continuing her writing.

Author bio: I spent the first 15 years of my life in the womb of my mind. Yes, I was an overly, almost pathologically introspective kid. As far as I was concerned, I had never gotten to sign my birth certificate and so I did not see it as a valid and binding contract. When I was 15, I returned to Israel after a 12 year hiatus in South-Africa and I finally decided to be born. I got a social life, I got deep, life threatening scars of a romantic nature and I got a job. I have been in Israel ever since and following my illustrious first job as a dish washer I have gone through a million different jobs and self descriptions, including gas attendant, limping soldier, socially suicidal joker, poemless poet and bad waiter. In the end I settled on cognitive psychologist, family man and writer.

All my books slot into specific imprints according to length and target audience. As follows... Snippets - Shorter books aimed at younger readers or adults looking for something to read to them at bedtime. BratReads - No, not books for brats, books that are themselves a little brat-ish. By turns, funny, awkward, anarchic or just a little thoughtful. TeenReads - As the name implies, books for teenagers. Adventurous and rebellious. Next in the series: 'No, Papa'. Interludes - A series of short books aimed at the Young Adult/Crossover audience. Mystical, mysterious and sometimes a little scary, you might want to read these with the light on. Tales of the Night - Full length ghost stories for the YA/Crossover market. Next in the series: 'Heretic'. Anything not included in the above is a stand-alone novel for the YA/Crossover market. One title so far - 'Continuum' - to be followed by 'Mount 37', a dystopian novel set in the uncomfortably near future.
