Guardian Angels

good mix of Dark and Light, with some colour thrown in as well.This short novel is called 'Guardian Angels'. But these are probably not the angels you envision. Fairbanks angels have glowing pink eyes, and gossamer non-bodies. They float through Time and Space. They speak into one's brain or Self, with or without spoken words. These guardian angels don't do much guarding; they are quite incompetent when it comes to averting disaster. They watch; they support. They know.Guardian Angels is dark in places, but is also bright and gay, enchanting. It is philosophic, but it is also frivolous and fun. Love. Tragedy. A single red rose. Show-time! Fate. And yes, Death too. And, the forbidden topic: Suicide! The Afterworld. Murderer's Mansion. The Wailing Walls!A child-star is born, and blesses the world. From the Theatre and stage and film studios of Melbourne, to the Cannes International Film Festival! London! and Hollywood! Back home again to Melbourne.
