Ian Hunter

Having had two previous cyber relationships, John now ventures into the e-World of potential reality. He meets Madeleine, a delectable and much younger colleague in Azerbaijan. John lives in New York, so the couple starts an e-correspondence, where they delve into various aspects of lust over the Internet. In their exploration, so much excitement is generated that they plan to meet in London. Can the real thing be half as exciting as what the two have already explored in the e-World? Join John and Madeline as these professionals make time for intimacy, mutual seduction, and various aspects of conquest.

In his Early Years, John is walking down a road with his German grandfather in post-war Berlin. At six years old, he moves to the UK, goes to school and finds himself challenged in various ways. When he is almost eighteen, he runs away from what purports to be home. Education eludes him for a long time. As adulthood takes over, relationships come and go. John moves overseas. He does quite well in his working life; less so personally. Depression comes and goes, as does determination and self-help. But the ultimate support comes from a surprising source, which starts a whole new story: his later years! The book, which conveys three stages to Johns life, is an attempt to understand the external forces that buffeted this being. How he responded impacted himself, and inevitably others, most of whom were innocent participants in this particular journey. The fundamental assertion, however, is that the past bears heavily on the future.

In the electronic world we live in, everything including love seems to take place on the Internet. In Ian Hunters fourth novel, Three Interludes, John has been in his e-World relationship with Nathalie for two years. They have reached a point where they plan to meet, three times. These are the Three Interludes. John is mature, experienced and a self-confessed sensualist, based in New York City. Nathalie is much younger, lives in Baku, Azerbaijan, and attracts John with her vivacious personality and voluptuous appearance. Both are ready to further explore their e-relationship. The question is, will the planned meetings actually happen, given the distances involved? If so, will their Three Interludes fulfill their deepest desires? There are surprises.

Helena and John fall madly and desperately in love. It is that worst of all worlds: love at a distance. Things move on. Changes are made. Meetings come and go. The oscillating feelings both clarify and confuse. Geographical moves convey commitment that forge new dynamics. They generate the elation and agony of blind love. It is a heady concoction. There is a final stage as the relationship climbs into a tempestuous phase of passion and other things. The anatomy of love is the sheer range of emotion and desire possible between two people.
