Adam Lawrence has been a successful Lawyer in the City of London.
He has been entranced by a painting that he owns, of a woman with
silver hair. An exotic, strange and beautiful woman who makes him
dream of the ocean and his yacht, Xanthus. She helps him forget about
his divorce and his fast ailing health. There is a painting being
auctioned of the same artist and subject. Its title is: 'I Shall
Never Go Away'. With a great determination to acquire this painting,
Adam bids from upon the water. After winning, he is met by what at
first terrifies him, but soon, draws him completely into the most
fantastic and desired experience of all.
Here is a short excerpt from, ADAM AND THE WATER.

Scene: Adam has arrived in Puerto Banus, on Spain's Costa del Sol and his yacht Xanthus, moored thereon.
....................Xanthus appeared to Adam as the debonair and
the vibrating gossamer of a daughter's summer smile. She fed his
heart with the sweetness of Spanish peaches and the promise of his
consummation with the later moonlight bronze upon her masts. The
daughter of the Mediterranean was scrupulously groomed and an indomitably
proud woman, her bearing exquisite. Adam was transfigured. He was
in paradise among the nobler elements and their kisses upon his
senses were as aspirations of the flowers scattered amidst the distant
and iodine coloured haze. There were portraits of perpetual joy
and these, the movements of sparse clouds and of the ocean waves,
were moving toward this decadent and still, mid-afternoon silence.
A silence where the only intruders had been his own footsteps and
even these were upon her honeyed deck and her lilac color, her
tremulous responding to his returning to paradise from the blighted
and the mutilated distant shores.

Excerpt
two.
Into Adam's awareness appeared as a plume of precious recognition
and it was sweeping as a swallow in a silver sky. It was her soft
and tender voice, "We were exhausted and we needed to relax because
of our dancing and the cool, night air. Yes, my never-ending romance,
it was so."
Adam had opened his eyes to her. In the dimly lit cabin bedroom.....

Excerpt three.
"How
could I ever be so fortunate?" He asked her.
"Soon, you will know why," was her response.
She was tracing circles around his eyes and very softly singing
words and these words were lulling him upon the promontory of slumber.
She was holding him elevated there. Her voice and her moving him
against her breast was acting as a powerful and gripping sedative.
"I am not going to allow you to sleep," she said. "No, no
sleep yet."

Note from the author: "I've always regarded this to be one of my
favorite books. It's so magically charged, conceptually far, far away
and to describe it adequately is a challenge for me. I think this adds to
the allure and the effect. Each time I read any part, I'm always left with
something to think about. A new mood to wade within. It was originally
presented in 1999, but I re-worked it for a new presentation this year.
Just for my readers and everyone else! " DMC.
