"Ben Nuttall-Smith demonstrates the simple truths of poetic observation and the pass of time. Working with traditional form in language that is by turn whimsical, reflective, tender, he charts the heartbeat of loved, familiar places, of eros, and of life's everyday sacraments." - Trevor Carolan

In his saga of a probable life of Quetzalcoatl of Mexico, Ben Nuttall-Smith gives life to scenes of Vikings, Irish monks, North American early peoples and Toltecs through his painter's eyes via his much research into local flora and fauna. His action-filled, often lethal encounters with varying dialogues spin from poems to prayers in Latin and other rituals, until the reader's imagination is fed enough to feel seasick on the Atlantic, or taste strange herbs, or be in awe of feather decorations. Nuttall-Smith is instructive and entertaining. Bernice Lever. Prize-winning poet and author This far-reaching novel eloquently displays the author's love of history and storytelling. Mad God of the Toltecs rampages from monastic life in the old world to exotic practices on a distant continent. En route the reader is treated to the lifestyles of impoverished Irish monks, marauding Vikings, the first nations in a new world and the early civilizations of what would one day become Central America. Ben Nuttall-Smith has crafted a fascinating tale of enormous scope. Anthony Dalton.

Mad God of the Toltecs: 2nd edition

Action & Adventure

Barriers and traps erected in the mind are more pernicious than brick walls. Torn from his parents' fairy-garden by the Blitz, Ben is dragged through childhood horrors, ending up in the New World. It turns out to be more of the same. Sadistic members of a religious order, debilitating family battles, being punched and kicked to near death in the US south, driven into the deep dungeons of his mind by officious school administrators, and then destroyed by his wife, Ben finally buries himself in a decrepit "fixer-upper" on the Sunshine Coast. Out of that misery comes a light that draws him to Crescent Beach: his new-found love and a healing garden.
