In a new take on old tales, Carl R. Peterson combines fact, folklore, and fantasy into Ewan Colin Coupar and a Touch of the Fae, a story featuring a cast of Rockkin, Elves, Brownies, and Urisks, among other faerie folk, who mingle with humans in our own world. These encounters result in children who have a "touch of the Fae" through bloodline or other connections.
Among these special children is Ewan Colin Coupar, a young boy who grew up in England but has now returned to his birthplace in Greenock, Scotland. Amid the tumultuous post-WWII atmosphere, he is delighted to find an escape from his worldly troubles in the wondrous realm of the Fae.
Joining a number of kindred spirits-other children who possess a touch of the Fae as well as a minister pursuing his interest in faerie beings in spite of his faith-Ewan embarks on several adventures and befriends many faeries, including a Druid spirit named Winthrop.
Little do they know that sinister forces are at work, seeking to steal the secrets of the past and the ancient knowledge of the Fae. Can Ewan and his friends put a stop to their malevolent plans?
About the Author: Carl R. Peterson spent his early life in Greenock, Scotland, where he was born to a Nordic Scot, his mixed heritage of Swedish and Scottish Highlander having carried through the generations.
Musically inclined, Peterson enjoyed a successful folk and rock music career in Canada, releasing twenty-five recordings through the years. One folk group, The Patmacs, was featured on several Canadian TV shows, and The King Beezz, his rock group, was considered part of the British Invasion, touring nationally.
He has also enjoyed solo musical success in both Canada and the United States. One of his albums, Scotland Remembers the Alamo, and its companion book, Now's the Day and Now's the Hour, sparked his interest in writing, prompting his creation of Ewan Colin Coupar and a Touch of the Fae.
