A Future Mapped

On the island of Amity, Christmas is never quite ordinary. As the season unfolds, John Harrington returns to Amity to fulfil his final promise to his wife, Margaret. We follow him on his search for Patrick and Claire, down familiar streets to a past long rejected. A Future Mapped invites readers into a story of choice, reflection, and the subtle magic that a festive season brings. Part of The Fork in the Road series, it captures the balance between daily life and the paths we take. Eric Drysdale was born on the south coast of New South Wales and lives in Sydney, Australia, where many of the stories are set. For decades Eric has had a fascination with what he refers to as "The Fork In the Road Syndrome", both in what he writes and reads. He became an insurance agent late 1981 and after 41 years, at the age of 77, retired at the end of June 2023 to concentrate on his writing.With over four decades of experience it was only natural that some of the characters found themselves, for good or ill, in insurance plots.Choice, Chance and Repercussion face each of us every day, every week. These elements, plus how Reliable, Responsible and Accountable the characters who people his stories and novels are, shape their character and their capability to meet Plot and Life challenges. Eric now has seven books and a short story in The Fork In The Road series published as Ebooks and Five Decades as an audiobook. In addition, the characters in his novel THE PRICE TO PAY, a stand-alone political thriller set on the fictional island of Amity, must ask these questions and cope with the answers. Next year you will be able to travel with these people from the cities of Amity down unknown paths and explore destinations down one or more fork in the road.
