Book Description
Night of the Fete is a contemporary fantasy story that explores the negative and positive impacts of biotechnology. It is based in the UK and France, taking place in Knole Park in Sevenoaks, Market Harborough in Leicestershire and Collioure in France. The story concerns three types of beings in Sevenoaks: humans, fairies and a race of small flying squirrels with glowing auras, called Pevi. The Pevi's existence is being threatened by a decrease in the concentration of positive ions in the atmosphere. Rick Johnston is a young research scientist working at a biotechnology company, developing green technology to generate electricity and clean drinking water from dirty African pond water. When the fairies and Pevi make themselves and their problem known to Rick and Kathleen, Rick's girlfriend's mother, the two humans are determined to help them. But what is causing the atmospheric change - and can Rick and Kathleen find a solution to save the Pevi from disaster in time? And how will Rick's complex relationship with Kathleen develop? Night of the Fete is a work of fun and fast-paced adult fiction that will also appeal to older teens. Readers will be charmed by the delightful Pevi, amused by the antics of the fairies and the creatures that live in the park and be able to relate to the lives and difficult romantic relationships of the characters in the story. The book, which provides a unique blend of fantasy and scientific technology, has similarities to Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison and C. S. Lewis' books on Narnia.

Book Description
Creative Resilience and COVID-19 examines arts, culture, and everyday life as a way of navigating through and past COVID-19. Drawing together the voices of international experts and emerging scholars, this volume explores themes of creativity and resilience in relation to the crisis, trauma, cultural alterity, and social change wrought by the pandemic. The cultural, social, and political concerns that have arisen due to COVID-19 are inextricably intertwined with the ways the pandemic has been discussed, represented, and visualized in global media. The essays included in this volume are concerned with how artists, writers, and advocates uncover the hope, plasticity, and empowerment evident in periods of worldwide loss and struggle—factors which are critical to both overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic and fashioning the post-COVID-19 era. Elaborating on concepts of the everyday and the outbreak narrative, Creative Resilience and COVID-19 explores diverse themes including coping with the crisis through digital distractions, diary writing, and sounds; the unequal vulnerabilities of gender, ethnicity, and age; the role of visuality and creativity including comics and community theatre; and the hopeful vision for the future through urban placemaking, nighttime sociability, and cinema. The book fills an important scholarly gap, providing foundational knowledge from the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic through a consideration of the arts, humanities, and social sciences. In doing so, Creative Resilience and COVID-19 expands non-medical COVID-19 studies at the intersection of media and communication studies, cultural criticism, and the pandemic.
