THE success of an e-book by an author from Lamerton has seen his novel published as a paperback.

'The Significant Deaths of Cage and Constance' by Jasen Quick has been brought out by American publishers Etopia Press.

Jasen, who has a wife and three children, is delighted and is currently working on his second novel.

His imaginative novel tells the story of Cage Reynolds, born in 1842, who at the age of 30 discovered that his body was no longer digesting food. A 139 years later, having survived two world wars, the death of his wife and innumerable suicide attempts, Cage lives alone and has given up trying to understand why he cannot die.

On the day that he is pushed in front of a bus by a mysterious man, Cage meets Clementine, a lively young woman who knows more about Cage than she is letting on. She works for Constance Sullivan, a wealthy businesswoman who trades in antiquities. When Cage is lured into Constance's world, he sees something that even he can hardly believe—something that changes his life forever.'
