Grab this summer read with Soul!

  Hello dear friend, Thank you for stopping by! I hope you are having a very enjoyable summer! If you are looking for a summer read that is both entertaining and thought provoking may I recommend my Angel at the Paradise Hotel?  In this novel I show the ever-present backstory of life, as I interpret the supernatural elements of our dilemmas and choices.  I know, that no matter what your beliefs or experiences, you will surely recognize the tussles of my characters, as tussles in your own life....   Of the many lovely reviews of the book this one states the above plainly, Rating:  5 out of 5 stars An angelic yet very human story Now I can say I have been to Greece and met angels. I love books that offer glimpses of the invisible world and the "war" around us and among us. It goes beyond the obvious and it stirred my imagination. A beautiful story in a beautiful location. Flora Reigada, author of Where Your Heart Meets God's Take a look inside  or order...

Get into character - Bethany

Angel at the Paradise Hotel Hello and welcome, I hope you are enjoying the backstory to my upcoming novel,  Angel at the Paradise Hotel ! I'd love to introduce you to another main character. Stepping onto the stage is BETHANY Who would play Bethany in a film?   Sheridan Smith!  Pictured above. I have cast Sheridan in this role as she is currently starring in the reprise of the one woman play,  Shirley Valentine  at the Duke of York's Theatre, Covent Garden, 17th Feb - 3rd June 23. Apparently the tickets sold out within minutes, quicker even than for a BeyoncĂ© concert! This reveals the popularity not only of Sheridan Smith, but also that of  Shirley Valentine !    But how, you may well ask, is that relevant to Bethany? Well, it couldn't be MORE relevant, actually .  Bethany did a  Shirley Valentine  when she went to Corfu. Take a look inside  or pre-order Angel at the Paradise Hotel in the UK In case you are not familiar w...

Angel at the Paradise Hotel                                                             Aneurin Barnard Hello and welcome, Building on my last two posts I want to start to introduce the main characters in Angel at the Paradise Hotel.   Stepping onto the stage first is JASON Who would play Jason in a film?    Aneurin Barnard! Yes, he's Welsh (from Bridgend not far from my native Cardiff, yay!!) but he'd make a brilliant Greek Jason. I loved watching him on TV recently in The Catch. If you have read my previous post you will already know that Jason is a hotelier. Actually, he's the manager of the Paradise Hotel. Oh, yes! Now you're almost getting in the door.  Unlike a lot of his peers Jason is very well educated and speaks impeccable English.  His Achilles heel is his love of money. And he is quite ruthless in ...

Then I will introduce you to the characters in the novel so that you can get to know them better. You could enjoy this either before you read the book or afterwards. I promise NO SPOILERS!  Let's jump right in! What is so great about Corfu? One of the most popular of the Greek islands, I had visited a few other ones before I ended up in Corfu . It is green and beautiful , as the above photo shows, and within days of my first visit became my favourite beach holiday destination. I love to travel - seeing the sights and soaking up new cultures, but if I want to relax ...
