Kandanga Falls

   (6 reviews)
KF header 1 - 300 x 200.JPG

We first met Nate and Danny in The Seventeenth Summer. Best friends forever, but then Danny fell in love a year ago, and left Nate behind.

Nate couldn't blame him; after all, who wouldn't want to escape Thompsonville, but that didn't change his feelings.  One year on, it's Nate's turn to escape, but first he needs to see Danny, perhaps for the last time. Can he finally tell his best friends how he really feels? Or is it time to finally spread his own wings and experience life for himself? Or perhaps, life has other things in store for him? The only way to find out, will be to find out what happens in Kandanga Falls.

 

This story contains adult, sexual content and some mild drug references.  Reader discretion advised.
Set on the edge of the 'Thompsonville' universe, 'Kandanga Falls'' is a part of my Thompson River Tales series.

Nate receives "top billing" in this continuation of The Seventeenth Summer, to date my favourite story from the pen of @Mark Ponyboy Peters, with the events taking place two calendar years later. Danny (my favourite MPP creation) and Jake make a welcome return in a story of growth for all three, but particularly for Nate as he transitions from his teenage years to adulthood, although technically he is still a teenager.

With a wonderful array of supporting characters, including a delightful dingo named Fergus, this story seduces the reader with its idyllic setting and the serene lifestyle of the humans, Fergus and an amusing and cheeky cockatoo. 

Tranquil is the word which best describes this latest work from the "pen of the pony". And although it was a "weepy" upon conclusion @Mark Ponyboy Peters, My Heart Will Go On.

Thank you very much, kind sir, for your comments and your support! :)

The story of two best friends that we meet in a previous story.  They are moving from teenage years into adulthood but are going their own way to reach it.

Wonderfully written and the characters are all so real.  

Get ready for a wonderful time, one we all would be blessed to have experienced.

Thank you so much!

What a lovely story of friendship, love, idealism, acceptance and self-discovery.  Is it possible for people to live in a true commune-type community?  Kandanga Falls is just that - what is similar to what is described  by Thoreau among other authors?  It seems so here.  It is one which is warm yet challenging traditional beliefs about how life should be.  

Response from the author:

Thank you so much!
