 TO BE RELEASED IN 2010 - KASHMIR ON A KNIFE EDGE a novel
Tragedy was surely on its way. Beauty attracted it and death confirmed it. Jorja Himmermann had entered Muzaffarabad, the jewel and capital of Pakistan-administered Azad Kashmir, a city between two volatile conflicts.
THE SUDAN CURSE a novel
The Sudanese say that they can find out how a story ends, but will never know where it began. A fictionalised account of the author in Sudan, The Sudan Curse mixes equal parts Indiana Jones-style action adventure and the wise-cracking humour of M.A.S.H. to tell the tale of Australian aid worker Jorja Himmermann and her work in Sudan as it emerges from twenty years of civil war. Jorja arrives in the country with an ancient ring in her possession which was mysteriously placed there while she was in Cairo. The ring acts as a prism through which she views all subsequent events – bandits, sexual predators, avalanche, bombs, diseases, snakes, flooding, stalkers, love and friendships – prompting her to wonder if it is a positive omen or a curse for her.
The Sudan Curse also relates the emotional trauma of her colleague, Ethan Kawaja, a lost boy of Sudan who returns to his homeland after twenty years in exile to assist in its development. He believes he has been cursed and Ethan believes in curses. The Sudan Curse is more than a book on the lifestyle of a foreign aid worker. It is more than an insight into complex political conflicts. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to know more about Sudan and the human condition under crisis. Martina Nicolls is a freelance aid and development consultant in the fields of education, peace-building, democracy, community development, child labour and human trafficking and has served in such post-conflict environments as Southern Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Rwanda, Kashmir, Sierra Leone and Liberia over the last 25 years. Most of Martinas assignments have been conducted under the auspices of the European Commission or the US Agency for International Development.
