March 17th, St Patrick's Day, is celebrated widely in the UK and other parts of the world, and to me seems to be a happy day.
St. Patrick is one of the most famous patron saints of Ireland: According to the legend, he brought Christianity to the island, made the shamrock fashionable, and freed Ireland from snakes. The holiday marks St. Patrick's death and has been observed as a religious holiday in Ireland for over 1500 years.
Biologists tell us that there were never any snakes in Ireland but that the story is a metaphor for St Patrick being fed up with paganism and introducing Christianity.
The shamrock (clover) is believed to have been a visual aid for the saint in describing the holy trinity.
A couple of excellent examples of ideas for writing. Take a scenario and apply a metaphor to help deliver alternatives, persuading your audience of a different point of view. The more unlikely the metaphor is, the more fun you'll have writing it, and your audience will be more greatly engaged in your narrative.
In this fifth Steele novel, Patrick confronts the person who has been secretly following him throughout several of his adventures. This pursuit is not without risk, as the focus of his love, Naomi Kobayashi, goes missing, which significantly impacts his ability to function effectively. We also learn more about Patrick himself. The adventure takes him to Eire, France, and the USA before he returns to resolve the issue in the UK.
God Bless
