After writing about many fictional characters over the years, author Elaine Blick has at last told her own story.In many ways it has the surprising twists and turns of a plot of one of her novels, and will have readers exclaiming Just fancy!There is the time she fell twelve feet from a tree and got up unscathed; the time she dealt with the unwelcome attentions of a stalker; and more dramatic still, her time in Soviet Russia when she narrowly escaped being held by the KGB.
Her love of adventure has gotten her into some awkward situations, but through it all, Elaine attributes her remarkable escapes to supernatural intervention. As her father once said, Elaine's guardian angel works overtime.Born in England during the Second World War, Elaine moved to New Zealand with her parents in 1947, where they lived in the same house in Auckland for twenty-six years. Elaine's dream had always been to return to England, and she finally did in 1969. Many of her amazing adventures began there.Today Elaine once again lives in New Zealand, at Clarks Beach, where her family spent every holiday while she was growing up.
