1 y separately published work icon The Boatbuilder's Nose Colin Macpherson , Maryborough - Rockhampton area : Central Queensland University Press , 2009 Z1684240 2009 single work novel 'On rare occasions, an injury can give you capabilities you never had before - and change your life in unexpected ways. 'Derek Saddler is a tradesman - a boatbuilder - hard talking and hard working; so hard working, in fact, that his family life is falling apart. Then he has a boat-yard accident. He awakes in hospital with a sore head, and something else...what appears to be a condition known as hyperosmia, an enhanced sense of smell. But in Derek's case the enhancement is of a kind that no one has ever seen before, and the consequences for him and those close to him are profound. 'The Boatbuilder's Nose can be read as a light, slightly-fanciful novel, but it also takes a serious peek at the nature of human perception and how this is linked to ancestral drives and contemporary social behaviour. It might also help you to understand your dog more.' (Publisher's blurb)

In their separate times they both discover the same mysterious well -- a holy well -- hidden in the countryside of the Scottish Highlands. And although they remain thousands of years apart, they are drawn together by the wisdom and healing provided by this ancient artifact of the land ... and the glimpses it gives of a higher reality.'
