Musical Connections

I invented a symphony orchestra --The City Symphony -- when I wrote The Right Chord, my first published book. It meant I had a vast supply of characters just waiting to fall in love.

The Right Chord: Grace, the heroine, plays in the first violin section.

The Tangled Web: Tess is the Principal Viola and her hero David is the Concert Master. Cameo appearance by Grace.

Love On the North Shore Line: Dimity is the second bassoon player.

Trouble In Nirvana: Primrose, the heroine, appeared as a subsitute second flute player in Love On the North Shore Line.

Minor characters make appearances in several of the orchestral scenes--Rob the trumpet player, Eric the trombonist and Ian, the orchestra's unflappable manager.

The story of principal clarinetist,Valentin, is waiting in the wings to be sent out in search of a publishing home and my first ever story, The Food Of Love, featuring the ultra passionate and talented conductor Viktor--a French trained Russian maestro who falls for Marnie, one of the cellists -- is lying in a bottom drawer gathering dust. One day they may rise again.

Trouble now Available

Trouble in Nirvana is available right now through Amazon's Kindle store as a pre release exclusive which is great news. The official release by The Wild Rose Press is in June.

Just go to Amazon and type in the title.

New release in June

I'm thrilled with my cover for Trouble In Nirvana which will come out in June with The Wild Rose Press. This one is rated spicy because it has one sex scene but also gained this mini review from a preliminary reader:

"This is a delightfully crazy lovely story. The chemistry between Tom and Primrose is spectacular. It's commune is priceless. I was laughing out loud at all of Primrose's adventures, especially the snake. Of course my husband wasn't too happy because, I couldn't put the book down and at 2:00 in the morning is when I came across the snake scene."

Thank you Deborah.

The inspiration for this story came partly from that British classic Cold Comfort Farm and partly from the anecdotes and experiences of my Dad, a farmer. Years ago an inept bunch of people attempted to run a communal farm in his neighbourhood, so with the addition of some New Age types my commune Nirvana was born.

Next release approaching fast

Love On the North Shore Line will hit the virtual shelves on December 11th. This is my first new release from Montlake as opposed to the rereleases of my Avalon backlist in e and paperback.

My daughter gave me the idea for the story when she told me about the personal ads in the commuter paper she reads sometimes on the train to work in the city. The lovely pink scarf in the cover pic is the link between my two main characters Dimity and Marcus. I'm so happy with the cover art!

For those readers who have enjoyed my books The Right Chord and The Tangled Web which feature members of my fictitious orchestra, The City Symphony, this is another. Some familiar names and characters will pop up.
