Daphne Oberon: My historical fiction novel, My Grandfathers Horses, is now available on Amazon under the fiction pen name, Victoria Auberon. https://www.amazon.com/My-Grandfathers-Horses-Promises-Legendary-ebook/dp/B07X6KK31Q/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1572382923&sr=1-1

The sequel My Grandfathers Horses, My Grandfather's Gold, will be coming out sometime in the next year. My interaction with the isolated privileged class of Baja California gentlemen horse breeders and cattle barons of the 1960s and early 1970s provided inspiration for these works of fiction. Also, my own experiences with range ponies, two bronco mares and a colt I handled from age thirteen to sixteen on the island of Cerralvo, an otherwise uninhabited desert island, later renamed Isla Jacques Cousteau. My fanatic doomsday isolationists eft me there to start a ranch to survive World War 3. Instead the Mexican government eventually kicked us and our goats, burros and horses off the island, lol...

Daphne Oberon:

WHERE TRUTH LIES SLEEPING
Ode to the Indian and mestizo farmers of Guatemala victimized by Gold Fever and other commercial interests:

Skeletons of settlements where truth lies sleeping,
Destroyed by soldiers who left people weeping.
Where are the weavers, the potters, the farmers,
The fruit trees and gardens with glimmering flowers?

Where are the animals with tinkling bells,
Waiting for water to be brought from the well?
Where are the babies loved by their mothers,
Field workers, wise ones, children and others?

Silent is the laughter, no bird songs fill the air;
Gone are the families with simple fare to share.
When political regimes leave their farmers dying,
They destroy the earth and truth is left crying.

    Daphne Oberon: -
    iPhone7: You have seen and experienced much. The silent voices need to be heard. Perhaps you are to be their voice. -
    Happy03: Hello Daphne
    Thank you for your nice comment on my paintings. I put the warnings in by a mistake and now I don't know how to turn them off. I'm new here.

Though born in the USA, Daphne spent most of her early life growing up in primitive Baja, Mexico of the 1950's to early 1970's. Her idealistic yet troubled parents were secretive doomsday isolationists who ran a kind of Outward Bound "tough love" traveling school. They catered to celebrities with mal-adjusted children. Beach boy Dennis Wilson's son, Scott, mentions the school in a chapter of his book, Son of a Beach Boy.
Daphne spent slightly over three years with horses (some of them bronco) and goats on uninhabited Cerralvo Island starting with the year she turned thirteen. Her story wanders all over from there. Her life with her parents ends in 1979 after they relocated their "school" to the isolated mountain in Guatemala that Scott Wilson refers to in his book. The school ends badly after Daphne's ex-patriot British father joins forces with the Guatemalan military and starts taking in young people awarded to him by a corrupt judicial system. Daphne eventually runs away from both her father and the country of Guatemala in December of 1979 after her father confiscates her US documents and makes her a Guatemalan national subject to the whims of the regime that supports him. For many years after her escape she works alternately managing horse farms and doing private nursing and hospice work. During this time she spent a lot of time evading her parents' efforts to find her. She later began trying to write down at least some of her complicated history in memoirs based on her parents scandalous tenure in Central America. Daphne relates how during the final twenty years of their school's operation, her delusional parents embroiled her in confusing conspiracy theories about her birth mission to lead a new world order, promoted her as the school poster child, and directed her to lead the life of a one of a kind cowgirl about whom a Baja, Mexico, legend called, La Caballera de Isla Cerralvo, eventually evolved. It was speculated by a USD geologist who surveyed the earthquake prone island for the Mexican government that a fault called "La Gringa" might have been named for her, though this has not been definitively verified.
