My first introduction to Beethoven - Ludwig, The Beethoven Conspiracy
Unravel the Mystery Behind Beethoven's Illuminatti Conspiracy with Ludwig
I had never written fiction, not even dared to dream that I could. The thought terrified me. Having raised four children on my own, I had spent a lot of my time earning a living.
I began to research the novel, but soon realized there was no way I could write it unless I gave up my work in the media and stopped earning a living during whatever time it would take to write it. Many of us stop ourselves from daring to do what we want to do most with the excuse that the only thing that is stopping us is lack of money. That was my excuse. It was only when I found myself in the position of having enough money to not have to work for four years, that I discovered that it’s not a lack of money that stops us, but a deep unwillingness to embrace the absolute freedom of choice we all have.
HERE'S SOME OF WHAT THE MEDIA HAS SAID ABOUT THE BOOK:
"Giddy stuff, well marshalled with a kind of ingenuous passion for ultimates and the welfare of the planet."
OBSERVER Jennifer Selway
Ludwig is a very clever thriller about unseen puppet masters and secret societies not unlike Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum though without all the prosaic mumbo jumbo."
YOU MAGAZINE James McHale
"A spiritual thriller where the fiery creative spirit of Beethoven struggles with the forces of material powers. Stirring and compelling...Read relish and enjoy..."
WILLIAM HORWOOD
"An intriguing tale of the occult; a modern day CIA agent turned journalist confronts the forces of evil unleashed by 18th century secret societies and embodied in the music of Beethoven. Ludwig is a musically well-informed psycho-spiritual odyssey which combines the world of science fiction with Iris Murdoch in one of her wilder modes. Happy reading!"
CLASSICAL MUSIC
"It is an eclectic read, with topics ranging from descriptions of Beethoven's haunting work to illuminati 'men in black' to intrigue and forbidden passion... and beyond! "
