Alan McCluskey lives amid the vineyards in a small Swiss village between three lakes and a range of mountains. Nearby, several thousands of years earlier, lakeside villages housed a thriving Celtic community. The ever-present heart-beat of that world continues to fuel his long-standing fascination for magic and fantasy.
All Alan McCluskey's books are about the self-empowerment of the young, girls in particular, in a world that tends to curtail their opportunities, belittle their abilities and discourage them from doing great things. His books also explore the difficulties of those whose gender and sexuality lie beyond the dominant binary divide between boy and girl. His goal in writing fiction is to imagine inspiring ways forward, despite the difficulties thrown in the way of these young people.
Young Vint is bursting with life. So much so the world around him ripples with energy. His parents and carers have convinced him he's mad, repression and drugs being their sole remedies. He becomes a willing prisoner of a grey world, stripped of friends, colour, movement and music for fear they'll spark an attack… Only when he escapes with Tara, a talented young girl who goes out of her way to meet him, does he realise his so-called madness may be a gift and that he can hone and develop without fearing a catastrophe. All would be well, were it not for his carers and their allies in the military who seek to get him back and exploit his abilities.
