JAMAICAN RHAPSODY

About the Book

Julie thinks it is her fate that she meets her holiday flirt again after some years and falls in love with him straight away. Mighty Dread, a Rastaman, takes the chance to escape the poverty of Jamaica and follows Julie ‘to foreign’, where he believes the streets are paved with gold. After initial enthusiasm he must realise that money in foreign doesn’t come easy, at least not legally. He steals her money and goes back to Jamaica where he plays the rich guy coming home as the Don. He fails to reckon with Julie’s adamant will to get even with him. She pursues him to Jamaica to find justice and revenge. He goes on the run but wherever he goes Julie follows. At last he returns to Jamaica to stand his ground in his own beloved island and to fight back, but Julie has found an ally and soon she must decide if vengeance is worth a man’s life.

About the Author

Sigrid Williams was born 1951 in Munich, Germany. At the age of 18 she wrote her first book. Being an embarrassed teenager she burnt it one year later in the chimney and instead started to explore Europe including Britain and Ireland on a vintage motorcycle. She then extended her journeys to Africa, crossing the Sahara Desert several times to West Africa, always seeking danger and adventures. Her work as a Free Lance Editor in the Film Industry gave her the time for her travels. After the birth of her children she crossed the whole continent of Africa with them in an old Land Rover, the journey taking 9 months and 2 days. She then progressed to discover the Caribbean, including parts of Middle America and the United States, always with the children in tow. She knows all the countries and places she is writing about very well and is visiting Jamaica on a regular basis. Today she lives with her grown-up children in London, where she started studying Computing and Publishing. In 2002 she got a National Award for Computer Graphics and Creative Writing.
