OUT NOW IN PAPERBACK AND EBOOK - APOKERI BAY

Escape to Greece with an irresistible page-turner about life and love, friendship, guilt, betrayal and heart-wrenching decisions that will keep you guessing to the very end.

Five days tucked away on a Greek island. Time enough for Anna Jenkinson to determine her future. And then return home.

But when Anna unexpectedly falls in love with the quaint seaside village of Apokeri, she seizes the chance for a new life. Away from her friends, former lover and a critical father.

However, this beach lovers’ paradise is not always what it seems. And Anna unwittingly becomes embroiled in a host of other people’s plans – including a matchmaking café owner, a laid-back bike rental employee and a man desperate to escape island life.

Over a sun-drenched summer, Anna negotiates her way through a village full of complex characters, hidden agendas, family sagas and destructive secrets.

But, she inadvertently triggers a series of life-changing events for some residents.

And brought face-to-face with her own questionable actions, Anna must answer the question – how far will she go to protect her new love?

Apokeri Bay is thought-provoking and uplifting fiction. It is one of the debut novels for 2023 and the first part in a trilogy.

If you love women’s contemporary fiction, grab your copy soon and be transported to Anna’s world in beautiful Lefkada.

What do I want in a book? The chance to be transported somewhere and to step into the world of somebody else. To share their story and to experience their emotions whether it's heart-soaring joy, love and friendship or devastating loss, betrayal and guilt. The best fiction stays with us, long after the last page has been read. Those are the stories we simply must tell others about and are often the ones that sit on our bookshelves and patiently wait to be picked up again. That has been my goal with Apokeri Bay.
