SAMANTHA HONEYCOMB
A Pilgrim's Chronicle
New softcover book, 179 pages.
Wrongly punished for breaking the ancient laws, Samantha Honeycomb is expelled by the queen into the wild and untamed Crazy Lands. Her only hope of redemption is an impossible quest - to find the fabled hive of Beebylon and bring back its secret of Infinite Richness. But there are others who would see her fail.
Evoking the wisdom and mystery of the ancient sages, Scott Zarcinas reveals through the trials and tribulations of Samantha Honeycomb that the surface appearance of unpleasant and torturous experiences are, in fact, essential ingredients in the melting pot of our future joy, security and acceptance, our destiny.
About the author
Dr Scott Zarcinas was born in South Australia on the 12th of February 1968. After matriculating at Pembroke College in 1985, he was accepted into Adelaide University Medical School, graduating in 1993. He then went on to study paediatrics at the Royal London Hospital before embarking on his Life Purpose as a writer in 2000. After living in London for almost a decade, he now lives in Adelaide with his wife, Dr. Martie Botha, and their 2 daughters.
"I have been blessed with 2 beautiful, healthy daughters and a wife who supports me in living my dream as a writer," he says. "As Michael Schumacher once said, 'I was born to race motorcars.' I feel the same way about my purpose in life - I was born to write books."
Since 2000, Scott Zarcinas has been developing a career as a professional writer. "The first five years were a kind of apprenticeship," he says. "Though no Dickens or Shakespeare, I feel I've now reached a level of writing that I never thought possible a decade ago. Saying that, a writer never stops learning. There's always something more to discover".
His publications to date include Samantha Honeycomb, Thanksgiving Day, and The Golden Chalice. His fourth book, DeVille's Contract, is currently awaiting publication. Scott's first work of non-fiction,
Your Natural State of Being will be published by Inkstone
Press in early 2009
As well as his books, Scott has also written articles for the Maughan Church website entitled, "Thoughts of a Pilgrim" and has had poetry published in an anthology of selected works in May 2001 (Freedom Press, UK), and a short story, Finnegan's Cat, in November 2006. As a student he was co-editor of the Adelaide University Medical School quarterly edition of Speculum from 1990-91.
"Like Samantha Honeycomb, my life has been an incredible journey" he adds. "I can't wait to see what else the future holds."
