NEW BOOK!

The Land Beyond the Green Fields by Joan Campbell Joan's book The Land Beyond The Green Fields has now been published and is available to buy online via Amazon. Like a ball of yarn that keeps rolling out of reach, a golden thread of love and loyalty leads Thomas, a housecat with an undefined yearning, on an adventurous journey of warmth, humor and heartbreak in the new novel by Joan Campbell, The Land Beyond the Green Fields. Young Thomas has a terrible secret, one that he cannot live with. As he heads away from all he knows and loves, the word BETRAYAL is engraved upon his every thought. How could his mother do this to him? Thomas' beliefs force him to seek a land far away from Stoneybraes Farm that he is assured does not exist this side of death. It is a decision that sets in motion a series of ominous events as evil fills the void left behind and his loved ones are cruelly tested. In the tradition of Watership Down, Thomas embarks on a learning journey that brings love and hate, despair and joy in equal measure. He shares adventures beyond his imagination with a travelling companion whose loyalty is all that matters in this quest. His troubled mother and his autocratic mentor wait at home with the news that will free him from all anxiety. Will those who follow in Thomas' feline footsteps find him? Will he make it back home for a hero's welcome, or spring the trap that is set to destroy him? Find out in the thrilling conclusion to The Land Beyond the Green Fields. Joan Campbell brings to bear her vast experience as Thomas' journey through the Highlands of Scotland is accentuated by the region's natural and cultural heritage. Joan is well known throughout the Highlands of Scotland and beyond for her work in tourism. She recently became the first woman to receive the Scottish tourism industry's most prestigious prize, the Silver Thistle. She also writes a monthly column for the Scottish Provincial Press publication, The Northern Times. With her lifelong love of all animals - cats, horses and rabbits in particular - it is little wonder she penned a nail-biting adventure that brings into the picture all three of her favourites, characterised by animals she knew.
