Angel at the Paradise Hotel has launched!

 

Hello and welcome,

I am so happy to tell you that my debut novel, Angel at the Paradise Hotel is now published internationally! I don't know where you are in the world right now but in Wales the weather is still chilly and my local readers are telling me they are loving the holiday sunshiny vibe of the book. The ones who have finished it are already asking for a sequel! I am busy writing one, set in Athens and London, but we are quite a way off yet.  

Take a look inside Angel at the Paradise Hotel or order here in the UK.

What's the novel about?

When tourism transforms a fishing village on the green and beautiful Greek island of Corfu, old hatred, envy and greed threaten to tear the community apart. Behind the scenes, personal demons fuel division while guardian angels battle to neutralize their influence.

Hotelier Jason - planning to get rich - ruthlessly chases his goal, unaware of the trouble and danger he is stirring up. Three visitors from Ireland, America, and Wales bring their own problems. Clare, running from a broken relationship, is drawn into a love triangle with Jason. Aeron, battling a mid-life crisis, is closer to despair than he realizes - while Bethany, jolted by a Big Birthday into doing a Shirley Valentine, is hoping it will sort her life out.

As the sizzling summer unfolds, each faces make-or-break challenges. Extra help is at hand though, with the arrival of Gabriella, angel of Greece. When meddling demons prevail, and smouldering greed and vengeance reach flashpoint, can she avert disaster? 

"Angel at the Paradise Hotel is an inspiring, touching and moving novel for the ages, generating faith, optimism, and, above all, hope. A very enjoyable read, which I highly recommend!" Georges N. Chamchoum, Emmy and multiple award-winning film director and producer

Where in Corfu is the Korkyra resort? 

Korkyra is a fictitious resort. But I did write it in my personal favourite resort of San Stefanos which sits in the north west of the island. Though Korkyra is from my imagination if you visit San Stefanos you will see that, for instance, the Z shape of Korkyra is based on that. As is the high hairpin bend that you meet as you arrive or leave it. And the fabulous sandy beach - perfect for swimming - rims the bay. But the Paradise Hotel sitting on a promontory is from my head. And the characters that people my novel have stepped out of my vivid imagination too. 

Bethany, one of those characters - see above - is writing a book, and this short extract from the novel reveals the process. 

"Bethany had been writing for hours. Her characters were shaping up and becoming familiar, and the plot was building  nicely. And, following Gabriella's advice, she was layering in  some deeper meaning too.

She found the whole process exhilarating. Creating a new resort on the island, peopled with interesting lives and dilemma, was an incredible experience in many ways." 

Have you written a book or do you know anyone who has? 

Can you, or they, identify with the process outlined above I wonder? Perhaps it will give you a push to create your own spin on your favourite place made even better as you add in something you would like to see there. That's the beauty of writing! Let me know how you get on...
