"THE MEADOW" HAS NOW BEEN PUBLISHED

THE MEADOW VIDEO -- FOREVER MOVING FORWARD

This three minute video virtually sums up the four years it has taken to produce this novel. The music is very much an integral part of its creation.

_____________________________________________________________

"The Meadow" is now ready for pre-orders. The thumbs-up has been given and book sales will commence with Amazon followed shortly by Barnes and Noble. Once momentum gathers, it shouldn't be long before it reaches the shelves in your local bookstores, libraries and supermarkets. For those folk who have shown interest so far in the release of this book, I don't suppose it would hurt for you to have a peep and see what is in store.

Thank you for all the interest you have shown. Some of you have been with us for many months, wondering when on earth this book will be released. Well, now you have your answer. To learn more go to your local Amazon page, click on to "Books" and then type in "Mike O'Hare and Elfreda Pretorius." The page should come up with the books, both soft and hardback, displayed.

THE MEADOW HAS ITS OWN NETWORK

The Meadow now has its own network. All new articles posted there will also be posted here and, of course, all relevant material here will be duplicated there. So now you have the best of both worlds. I hope that you will come in and have a look for yourself. If you like what you see, then maybe you will consider joining us.

This network was created to help promote The Meadow novel toward publication. It has been four hard years of work, but every minute was a moment to savour. Now the chocks have been pulled away and "The Meadow" is now ready to be given to the world.

Please click on to The Meadow Network to discover a whole new world waiting for you.

THE PHYSICAL MEADOW -- By Mike

“The Meadow” has been written in a very extraordinary way. For example, there was never any intention to bring the story into manuscript format. It was only after my encounter with Elfreda that it became a reality and, between us, we prized the idea out of my head and on… Continue

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION AND WHAT IT MEANS -- By Elfreda Pretorius

The Law of Attraction has at its basis the fundamental principle of energy, which is the essence of our Universe. That is the primary point of connection to fully understand the implications of this magnificent Law. We live in an energetic universe – and that is simply a fact. If we accept that – then we must retain an open mind and keep our balance when we look at circumstances in the world.

An argument often offered to counter the legitimacy of this Law, is to point towards disadvantaged peop… Continue

THE SPOTTED COW -- From Mike

No guessing what the title is referring to. The Spotted Cow probably fits into the top ten of country pub names that are dotted around the UK and Channel Islands. However, there is one Spotted Cow which has a relevance and energy all of its own. In years to come, I wonder how much of this… Continue

Been there, done that, seen this, got that -- I wish! That teeshirt is a long way off but a significant start has been made by completing "The Meadow." It seems a long way back now when I first encountered Elfreda's email message to Steve in response to an article he had published on his website. He was worn out and weary and had just about given up the ghost with having to add more and more information to what was turning out to be a very costly venture.

His website was full of information --… Continue
