About the Book
In the mountains of a paradisiacal island, four teenagers went hiking, only to discover that they were walking straight into a catastrophic earthquake. Years later,their lives were entangled in a chain of natural disasters including: an ever raging hurricane and a monstrous volcano.
In the midst of those dreadful disasters, Robert Cullingberg is caught up in a sophisticated love affair between Kaila Bronson – his childhood friend and later a storm specialist and Erika Hafez – a young German professor at Ross University.
At the same time, Nature Isle is in campaign mode. Wrapped in a tangled web of deception, the ruling political party is keeping a deadly secret from the people; a menacingly active volcano is about to erupt and the main opposition party is fighting feverishly to blow the government’s cover.
About the Author
Clington Quamie is currently the managing director of a newly established cigar factory in Dominica named Reggae Naturals Inc. He has completed a Bachelors Degree in management studies at the University of the West Indies. In 1996, he released his first musical album, (GOING GLOBAL).
Over the years, he devoted much of his time and energy assisting the youth within his community. At a given point, he had been deeply involved in a political youth movement; later he got elected at the local Government level and then served as a councilor within his community. He has also travelled to china for one month as a young diplomat for his country, Dominica.
The art of writing had always been embedded somewhere within him since in his early adult years, he wrote songs with which the singers entered a national competition. Every song on the album, Going Global, was writing by him. For two years consecutively, he also wrote songs for one of the competitors in the junior calypso monarch in Dominica.
During his years of studies, after having adapted to long hours of writing, he finally realized that the art of writing came naturally to him. He started his first novel, Desperation Point, the very next day after he completed university.
