Trapped?
Are you trapped?
If she looked upon the horror her husband had become… she would scream for the rest of her life!
From the 1958 teleportation movie The Fly… sci-fi/horror featuring Vincent Price in his prime: trailer @ https://youtu.be/mgDypzKO5co?feature=shared
The white-headed house fly cried out “Help! Help me! Please help me! Help me!”
Do you ever feel so… trapped?
In a web?
You will always find a way out.
You will always discover hope and beauty.

Mountains Are Mysterious
They take lives without mercy.
The closer you get to them the more diversified, dangerous and threatening the topography, forests, cliffs, ravines and rivulets become.
Mountains make clouds do things.
Under the forest cloak, the mysteries become all-consuming.
Then how do the mountains turn into something marvellous?
This is landscape.
And this is what Christopher Janus explores in Tangier Gardens.

IRL… now
This is a landscape story—a beautiful family moment!
So what is going on here? A young couple is introducing their baby to one of their cows and recording it on camera. Their cow sports a headdress celebrating its return to the valley, home from pastures high up in the mountains—Alpine life.
Simple family pleasures… but only with work, work with the animals, work with the landscape, work with family—very hard work and the result? Beautiful.

The First Grapes
In the temperate climates of the northern hemisphere, grapes come early—but not that early. They are a sure sign that the lion of March is gone and spring is definitely here. These grapes come March and April.
But in the northern hemisphere, if you are not in a temperate climate, your seasonal clock may be in for a shock as was CJ in the Mediterranean climate of northern Morocco. He tries to come to grips with these shocks in my novel Tangier Gardens. Read a free Amazon sample via a safe, clean, secure and direct link @ https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv
Mysterious Witch…
Mysterious? What are you talking about?
Background:
I enjoy exploring the details of landscape and gardens.
Yesterday I was walking outdoors and discovered this Hamamelis mollis hybrid in glorious winter flower. I checked for a scent and enjoyed a light but gently intoxicating fragrance. Hamamelis? Common name = witch hazel.
Why witch and why hazel? Answers online and in books inconclusive and vague. Not a hazel and nothing to do with witches.
And the fragrance, nobody in the home-grown-health, medical or perfume communities could define or replicate that witch hazel scent. Check it yourself.
So where do I turn?
I, a novelist, have created a protagonist in my image—obsessed with landscape, gardens and plants. In my novel, Tangier Gardens, the protagonist, CJ, explores in Morocco the landscape of northwest Africa as well as the gardens and plants of Tangier.

Before the snowdrops…
Snowdrops? You mean snow flakes? No, I mean Galanthus nivalis, snowdrops, the earlist bulb flowers of spring.
Promises…
At the same time of the year when we hope for hazelnuts, CJ in Tangier Gardens was enjoying the tangerines, the clementines, his rare relief. Read some of Tangier Gardens for free @ https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv
