Excerpt

“Good morning, Willem. Will you take us to your people today?”
With that question, all activity around the fire ceased, and everyone stared at Willem, standing in front of them. After the events of the night before they were all very eager to learn more about Willem and his kind, as unlikely as they seemed to be.
“I can take you to the gate, but I seriously doubt that we’ll be able to make any kind of contact,” Willem stated factually. “When they cast me out, and I discovered that the world above was healed, I tried to go back, but the gate was locked and no one answered my calls. I have no idea what I could do to get their attention. They live so far underground, unless someone is in the tunnel behind the gate, they’ll never hear what’s going on outside. And besides, I’m not allowed to return in the next ten years which, in Tafel society, is the equivalent of the death penalty. No one has ever returned from visits to the surface, and I doubt the council expected me to last this long. I’m fairly sure they thought I’d be dead within hours.”

Hans M Hirschi (b. 1967) has been writing stories ever since he was a child. Adulthood and the demands of corporate life efficiently put an end to his fictional writing for over twenty years.
A global executive in training and channel development, Hans has traveled the world and had previously published non-fictional titles.

The birth of his son and the subsequent parental leave provided him with the opportunity to unleash his creative writing once again. With little influence over his brain’s creative workings, he indulges it, going with the flow.

A deeply rooted passion for, faith in a better world, in love, tolerance and diversity are a red thread throughout both his creative and non-fictional work. His novels might best be described as “literary romance, engaging characters and relevant stories that won’t leave you untouched, but hopeful.”

Hans is a proud member of the Swedish Writers’ Union and the Writers’ Center in Sweden.
