Inspiration for the Novels

The title, Coloured Sands, taken from The Coloured Sands at Rainbow Beach on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland (pictured at right) is a metaphor for the underlying theme of the whole book, that mixing colour and race would ultimately make the world a better place. This is a MELTING POT STORY that will tug at your heartstrings.

POEM TAKEN FROM THE BOOK
(an explanation for the title)
Mary’s Dream

She drifted into a dreamy world where frothy water washed onto a beach of coloured sands – the colour of people - black, white, yellow and brown; then suddenly a huge wave, whipped by a fierce wind, churned and swallowed the coloured sands that kept swirling and curling, around and over, this way and that way until one colour emerged the colour of tan. People walked proudly out of those waves beautiful golden tan people, the colour of all people combined and the eyes that shone from those beautiful, golden, tan faces were full of love and peace.
