Still struggling. ... I think I will give up for today .... The gist of it is, I am supposed to promote my books... OK, so here we go: I write international, multi-cultural novels, with a wide range, from Historical to Contemporary, where the Orient meets the Occident. Lets continue thusly: Note from the Publisher (About The Horseman): Kristina ODonnellys writings are astounding in their depth and diversity. Kristina is a firm believer in the can do, will do, spirit, and that one should never give up the good fight as every persons effort, counts. Looking into ODonnellys background, it becomes clear that this is the novel she was born to write. THE HORSEMAN is the lead novel of the international, multi-cultural series Lands of the Morning. Poison or dynamite to some and manna to others, THE HORSEMAN elicits deep emotional responses from every reader. Prof. Karen-Claire Voss (Istanbul University) in her Introduction to this novel, writes, Also interesting and at least as compelling is the brilliant, knowledgeable, and courageous way in which Kristina O Donnelly sheds light on the complex and controversial topic of the difficult relations between Kurds and Turks, an extremely sensitive issue, something which has been rarely discussed openly, still less has been made part of a love story. This book is precious. I do not use this word lightly and say it not only because this is the story of a truly incredible woman and a genuinely fabulous romance. I say it because unlike so many other romances, this one is not meant to allow us to escape the complexities of real life; rather, it is intended to lead us deeper into them. It also enables us to develop an empathetic understanding of the complexities of real life as it is lived in contemporary Turkey.
