A nostalgic and colourful collectionof rural New Zealand short-stories In the tradition of iconic Kiwi short-stories, Gunpowder Green is a nostalgic look into New Zealand' s unique and colourful past. Light-hearted, humorous and even thought provoking, each story is varied and highlights New Zealand rural living, a diverse culture and a forgotten yet very familiar lifestyle. From the tragic reality of families being torn apart during WWII, Gangway to War, captures the heart, while The Mechanic rekindles fond, youthful memories and ends with a satisfying conclusion. Entertaining, fast paced and real, the stories reflect New Zealand life as it was. Gunpowder Green offers a wholesome laugh in this wonderful character driven story. From Sheryl, the alluring local barmaid in 148 Pastoral Road, to the resilient, Mr. Prakash, the dairy owner in, A Flaming Mess. These stories reflect the best of New Zealand life in an entertaining, easy-to-read anthology of suspense, humour, and drama.
Paul W. Feenstra is a historical fiction novelist. Meticulously researched and detailed, his character driven novels create a dramatic window into our chronicled and complex past. Set in beautiful and mysterious New Zealand, Paul' s first novels, ' Boundary, ' ' The Breath of God' and ' For Want of a Shilling' , detail early colonial life and the controversial impact colonialism had on native Maori. Says Feenstra, History is about the untold story, and writing historical fiction is a wonderful way to present the past in a compelling and entertaining way. The medieval ' Falls Ende' eBook series- ' The Oath' , ' Courser' and ' The King' , have proven to be equally successful. Originally written as three short stories, they are emotional and captivating and been seamlessly compiled together to create a full-length print book, ' Falls Ende - Primus' . Since then Paul has completed a much-anticipated full length sequel, ' Falls Ende - Secundus' and a third, ' Falls Ende - Tertium is anticipated for release in early 2021. His latest project, Gunpowder Green, is a lighthearted collection of New Zealand short stories that chronicle New Zealand life as it once was. Humorous and even thought provoking, each story is varied and highlights rural living, a diverse culture and a forgotten yet very familiar lifestyle.
