About the Book

A tale of love, loss and broken promises.Two small boys grieving for lost sisters - torn between family and other loves. Can keeping a new promise make up for breaking an old one?When Gorgito Tabatadze sees his sister run off with a soldier, he is bereft. When she disappears into Stalin's Gulag system, he is devastated. He promises their mother on her death-bed he will find the missing girl and bring her home; but it is to prove an impossible quest.Forty years later, Gorgito, now a successful businessman in post-Soviet Russia, watches another young boy lose his sister to a love stronger than family. When a talented Russian skater gets the chance to train in America, Gorgito promises her grief-stricken brother he will build an ice-rink in Nikolevsky, their home town, to bring her home again.With the help of a British engineer, who has fled to Russia to escape her own heartache, and hindered by the local Mayor who has his own reasons for wanting the project to fail, can Gorgito overcome bureaucracy, corruption, economic melt-down and the harsh Russian climate in his quest to build the ice-rink and bring a lost sister home? And will he finally forgive himself for breaking the promise to his mother?A story of love, loss and broken promises. Gorgito's story, told through the eyes of the people whose lives he touched.
About the Author: I have been writing since I was very young. When I was a teenager, essays and poetry helped me win my first overseas trip via a newspaper competition. I returned to creative writing in 2006 after 30+ years as a technical writer. Since then, I've had great fun experimenting with different types of writing. I've written articles for content websites and on commission. I've written short stories and poetry for competitions -- and have had a couple of wins, several honourable mentions and some short-listing. I am editor of the Chudleigh Phoenix Community Magazine and we have grown it from a 4-page, bimonthly publication to a monthly 10-pager. Together with friend and fellow writer Sharon Cook, I launched the Chudleigh Phoenix Annual Short Story Competition, which is now in its fifth year. In July 2011, we published a collection of short stories. Life is Not a Trifling Affair received such positive feedback from our readers, we brought out a second collection in November 2012. This one is called Life is Not a Bed of Roses. Both anthologies are available either as paperbacks or as ebooks. I have also published several books on my own: Sunshine and Sausages is a how-to book on running a successful summer garden party. Parcels in the Rain and Other Writing is a collection of short stories, flash fiction, travel writing and memoirs. The Business of Writing series of ebooks is based on lectures and blog posts aimed at helping writers set up and run their own small businesses. Gorgito's Ice Rink, my debut novel, is set in Russia and based partly on my travel experiences. It's been in progress since 2006. In 2010, frustrated by the time it was taking to complete--and to provide structure and discipline to the project--I signed up for an MA in Creative Writing at Exeter University. I graduated in January 2013. The novel was finally published in October 2014. I am a member of the Chudleigh Writers' Circle and Exeter Writers. I spend far too much time on Facebook and Twitter, but have met some great writing buddies along the way.
