About the Author

Bryan Kesselman’s first book, Paddington Pollaky Private Detective (a biography of a Victorian private investigator) was published in 2015. The Madness of Captain Mills is based on real events, and like the first book involved extensive research involving contact with archives in several countries. Bryan is a composer, musical director and opera singer and lives in the UK. Works include music and lyrics for an opera based on the Dreyfus Affair, first performed in 1998, and “Zimbabwe Suite” for choir and orchestra, commissioned for performances in Zimbabwe and London.

ByCassandra Anderson

For a billion years, Jonathan Celestial has worked as a star, filling the night sky with warmth and light. Ostracized by all the stars because of a terrible event that unfolded many years ago, he is ready for a fresh experience. Excited to use the 30 days of vacation time he has accrued, he decides to fall to Earth and take on the form of a human. On Earth, Jonathan’s cheerfulness and idealism collide with reality. He makes friends with the guitarist of a post-rock band, falls in love with a bookworm, and evades a governmental investigation which threatens to compromise his mission. Little does he know that his past and present are more connected than he initially thought, and soon he will have to confront the greatest challenge of his life yet: asking for forgiveness from someone he hurt.

Displaced and running away from political persecution in Zimbabwe, Bloggs shares his macabre experiences of the regime that forced him into exile.

Depressed by his raw, squalid life, the threat of an ignominious death on the streets of Johannesburg and shame of failing his family, the equilibrium between his inner self and the outside world descends into chaos and mental anguish. In near despair and degradation, his blighted spirit collides with the dark forces of his extremity which triggers an amazing transformation that not only saves him but also touches the broken lives of other people around him.

Bloggs, refusing to pity himself, finds philosophical humour in his life situation. For him it is the enduring spirit of freedom and honesty rallied with courageous responses to forces of dehumanization that constitutes nobility and hope.
