IN SEARCH OF KYLE - A magic realism novel – One week. Nine postcards. Eight directions. Nine locations.
Sky Beaumont moves overseas to find Kyle—the writer of cryptic postcards addressed to her artist grandmother Helen Coppin. It’s the spring of 1989 in a society where capitalism and anarchism clash. While overcoming heartbreak, Sky sculpts her life based on Feng Shui principles. Then she gains access to a mysterious underground labyrinth.
How can her new friends—the punk Izzy Elliot and Daphne Hartman, housemate and economics student—assist with her quest? What do the nine cards mean? When Sky delves deeper into Kyle’s city she experiences the influence of the subterranean chambers. How will she cope with discovering a reality different from what she expects? And where is Kyle?

Industry Reviews
As Dutch crime author JAC. TOES has written in the foreword: ‘… But a spiritual novel … That’s a first. … In her book, time AND space AND energy interchange and merge flawlessly and completely naturally without taking away the clarity for a single moment. … When literature is an attempt to establish any kind of order … then IN SEARCH OF KYLE succeeds more than adequately.’
Back cover review: ‘An adventure into the senses taking us back to a bygone era when punks and hippies reigned supreme. Flirtatious, intriguing and continuously hovering between dream and reality.’
JODI BRUNNER, MASTER OF FENG SHUI
