Novella eleven - the constellation Aquarius and the story of Ganymede the Water Bearer.Ganymede was adopted by a family of shepherds when he was found abandoned as a young child. He preferred his own company, and whilst good at caring for the sheep he was regarded as a misfit by his adopted family.One day, as he was tending the sheep, he was spotted by Zeus, who flying past in his eagle form. Out of curiosity Zeus landed to meet the young man and became quickly enamoured with him. Ganymede found himself attracted to the powerful God and very much wanted to be with him. Zeus easily convinced the young man to give up his shepherding life and come with him to Mount Olympus.Ganymede became Zeus's friend and lover. He took over the role of cup bearer during important civil functions from Zeus's daughter Hebe, as she had found love and married a Greek Hero.

Portrait

Stephan de Jonghe

I began my formal writing with a stage play titled "Death Warmed Up, ' After being inspired by a close friend, Di Day, who I aided with her debut play as her stage manager. "Death Warmed up was a great learning experience for me and I appreciated the cast and crew who laboured with a stage production that lasted nearly three hours. I learned a lot from the experience and by the time the play was performed for second time it had been edited down to two hours. Everyone from cast, crew, and especially the audiences, had a great time, so I was inspired to write my next play "Death Warmed up." The one debuted better than the first so I quickly followed it up with a romantic comedy titled "A lovely lobster tale", and then a historical action sci-fi titled "The Culpeper Code". I also wrote one act plays with Free coffee getting the most recognition. A one act play that I wrote titled "Follicle Farm" became my inspiration for my first novel. The play was terrible, but the book that came from its ashes has received high praise and is described as a delightful and humourous fantasy adventure novel. It takes the reader on a whimsical journey into the microscopic world of the human body. It follows Bobby on a journey of self-discovery of how he tries to convince head-office to implement his discovery of how to reverse alopecia and greying hair. My next book, titled "Your concise guide to the meaning of life," comes from a lifelong habit of trying to help people get more meaning and enjoyment out of their lives. It is a serious book written in an easy-to-read style, with suggestions in point form so that the reader can improve their lives. It has received favourable reviews for a book of this genre. My interest level in Greek Mythology has been with me since I could read. I have also been fascinated with astronomy and astrology. Work, family, and theatre have been my priorities, so until recently I've not been able to progress these interests. I now have four books published that combine these interests with another nine books in the pipeline. My website www.folliclefarm.com.au features my work and has some complimentary short stories set in the Follicle Farm universe.
