Characters are an important element of a story. No story will ever progress when it does not have any character in it. Heroes, particularly, are the revered characters of most stories. They are the kind, strong, and smart characters who will brave any challenge and difficulty just to achieve their goals, which are, more often than not, for the good of all.
Mystery books have been increasingly gaining prominence over the decades. A continuously increasing number of readers is being hooked on fiction novels that feature blood-curdling and spine-chilling narratives. Indeed, the mystery genre is a prolific and profitable market, and to take advantage of this, more and more authors are now convinced to write mystery books.
Attilio Guardo is an author whose love for writing began at an early age. When he was 9 years old, he wrote a 55-page novel entitled Three Ways. At 11, he then wrote a play that was performed in his backyard. As a child, Attilio Guardo knew for a fact that writing was his passion. However, his career path as an adult somehow went the other way. He graduated from college with a degree in General Business Management. After college, he became a member of the United States Army. Upon leaving the military, he then pursued a career in the accounting and management field. His passion for writing only resurfaced after many years, when his grandchildren inspired him to write children’s books.
A Search For Donald Cottee is a novel about individualism. It’s also a parody of Don Quixote, reinterpreting the Don’s quest in contemporary terms and also using several of the scenes from Cervantes’s tome.
Donkey and his wife, Poncho Suzie, have retired to Benidorm on Spain´s Costa Blanca. Don has left behind his incessant self-education and Suzie has turned the corner of her illness. Their new life is parked on the salubrious La Manga campsite and from there they pursue their ambition of eternal holiday. To savour the developing experience, and to make its potential paradise available to all, they blog.
But they can never escape their origins, even as their new future unfolds, perhaps disintegrates into the present. Episodes from the past reappear, reincarnate themselves. Don’s environmental campaigning and Suzie’s quest for business success fill the time.
And then they discover that their friends, some old, some new, some related, others not, are transacting the businesses of their own lives. There is money in vice, more in property, even more in merely trading people.
In a world where competition is the norm, where a dog’s only possible diet is another dog, Don and Suzie are determined to do good works, to be honest and loyal to all, to support what is right. But then, in the final analysis, when the jigsaw of lives is broken apart, we see that perhaps the pieces never did fit. And so, still trying to do good, Donkey Cottee and Poncho Suzie leave us with an enigma. Or is it a riddle?
