Visual inspirations

Writers, musicians, painters; all find visual inspiration in their surroundings. I like to visit the places I write about: to feel, taste, hear, smell, touch...
Here are some visual inspiration from LOVE RESTORED.

 

      Chateau Léon, badly damaged by fire in 1984, as it now looks after Rachel restored it. Little did Rachel know when she took on this project that this is where she would meet Alain again. Had she known the owner's son was the same man that almost destroyed her trust in love before, she probably would never have signed up for this work.

This beautiful chateau near Cassis sparked my inspiration for creating LOVE RESTORED.

 

It's in Monaco that Rachel first meets the attractive and debonair Alain. Initially nervous and tense, Rachel is soon charmed by Alain’s intellect and relaxed wit. As the evening proceeds, she unwittingly uncovers other interesting facets about this tall, confident man. Like his passion for art. And his luxury yacht, Vintage, moored in the Monaco yacht basin. It is here, on his yacht, where Alain’s first fiery kiss awakens a hidden passion, buried deep inside Rachel.  

Oh, that first kiss. This image captures it with so much sensitivity.

 

 

 

    But their moment of passion is rudely shattered when Alain uncovers Rachel's history. He storms away, brusquely ignoring any  explanations from Rachel, his blind rage fueled by a dark secret of his past. Pride triumphs truth and Alain leaves behind a deeply hurt and heartbroken Rachel, devastated by that familiar pain of rejection. Rejected - just like before.

   A pensive Rachel stares from the window of her hotel room in Hotel de Paris. 

 

 

Hot tempers, passion, and desires clash with stubborn pride and internal conflict to tell the passionate story of a stormy love between two people - a love that might be lost on them forever.  Get you copy here.

What's the most exciting news a writer can get?

Come on, you know - the kind of news that makes you jump up and down with joy, hug your loved ones, and run for the fridge to find that bottle of Dom Perignon you've been saving for this occasion - any thoughts?
Yes, you've guessed it. The news that your manuscript has been accepted.
All that hard work, all the months of pain and doubt, all the hours at your desk, makes this moment so very special.
There is some minor editing to be done before publishing, but BROKEN LOVE will be avaialable for your enjoyment soon. I'll keep you posted, but right now I need to uncork something special first.

Exiting news!
My new book trailer for BROKEN LOVE will be released soon. Stay posted to get a sneak preview.

Well, I have finally done it. I have completed the last few pages of my new romance novel, BROKEN LOVE and sent it off for editing.

Many moons have passed since I started this project, but alas, I can now say I've done it. I have completed my manuscript. I'm so excited to share this important milestone with all of you.

But, now the hard work starts. Here's to a nice glass of red wine tonight and bunkering down for the next stretch of hard work. In the end, you will all enjoy the results.
