People are asking about your new book. What's it about?
It's a story about conflict and the search for love that takes us into the hearts of three people each pursuing a dream: Justin, a jaded, obsessive historian; Ruth, a rich girl on vacation and Miriam, a poor girl on the run. They meet on a tropical island where a shadowy special forces officer known as the Coastwatcher served during the war, and as the truth about him emerges they become enmeshed in a love triangle like no other. When disaster turns their dreams to ashes, Ruth and Miriam refuse to give up hope and through them Justin finds the path to redemption.
This story poses questions: Is a new start too much to hope for? What is redemption, and who needs it? Is there such a thing as destiny? Why are we here and what are we doing that counts? And how can we find a way through the uncharted delta marked in its corners with the words friendship, love and passion?
I've included a short summary of the story in response to the fourth question.
What motivated you to become an author?
I believe I have something to say. I entertain my readers with old fashioned story-telling and colorful characters and invite them to walk a pathway of laughter, suspense and tears that leads them to places where deep themes of life such as abandonment, betrayal and redemption are encountered. My first book "Black Ghosts White Shadows" addresses the human psyche in the shadow of death. Who can you trust? Who do you follow? The second book "The Rich Girl, the poor Girl, the Coastwatcher and me" challenges the reader to decide whether a new life is too much to hope for when dreams turn to ashes.
