Saturday Sample: Covid 19, an Extraordinary Time, Thinking About Contamination by Dawn Knox, elderflower cordial

I have an idea for a product to combat COVID-19.

When I finally make it, I’ll call it COViolet.

It’s not intended to kill the virus nor to promote an antibody response. It’s simply a dye that once applied, will turn virus particles vivid violet.

COVID-19 will no longer be invisible.

Violet colouration on a door handle, ATM or petrol pump will warn everyone of contamination.

If there’s violet colouration on your fingers, don’t touch your face. Wash your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds.  

COViolet doesn’t exist yet.

Until it does, why not treat EVERYTHING as if it were violet?

About the author 

 Dawn spent much of her childhood making up stories filled with romance, drama and excitement. She loved fairy tales, although if she cast herself as a character, she’d more likely have played the part of the Court Jester than the Princess. She didn’t recognise it at the time, but she was searching for the emotional depth in the stories she read. It wasn’t enough to be told the Prince loved the Princess, she wanted to know how he felt and to see him declare his love. She wanted to see the wedding. And so she’d furnish her stories with those details. 

Nowadays, she hopes to write books that will engage readers’ passions. From poignant stories set during the First World War, to the zany antics of the inhabitants of the fictitious town of Basilwade; and from historical romances to the fantasy adventures of a group of anthropomorphic animals led by a chicken with delusions of grandeur, she explores the richness and depth of human emotion. 

 A book by Dawn will offer laughter or tears – or anything in between, but if she touches your soul, she’ll consider her job well done. 

 She has been a finalist in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards for 2017 and 2020, Readers’ Favorite Book Awards 2018 and Independent Author Network Book of the Year Award 2018. 

Dawn has also written two plays about the First World War, which have been performed in England, Germany and France.
