Interview on Clean Romance Reviews

I'm talking about me, me, me and my new release Love On the North Shore Line which will be out in a few days from Montlake.


Clean Romance Reviews

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.

Using real life and Dad in particular

Like every author I shamelessly pinch incidents and snippets of conversation from my life and those around me. Of course I'd never use or identify a real person but my family often recognises something in a book.  My father is a great source of anecdotes and information. At 90 he, as one of my friends puts it, is a legend. Dad, along with my mother-in-law is my biggest fan.

In Stuck I used his knowledge of woodturning to give my hero Brad his expertise. The story about the mice Brad tells Gina while they're stuck in the lift is true and happened to my Dad.

He is also the source of the opening line in The Right Chord. One of his many friends said this to him once:
"It's hopeless having an argument with you. You always see the other person's point of view."

He thinks it's a very chuckleworthy comment and still has a laugh about it whenever he rereads the book.

Check out both stories The Right Chord   and  Stuck
