Hello everyone – First of all I’d like to thank Liz for having me on her
blog to tell you a bit about Melbourne. Why? Easy - my latest book “Innocent Tears” is set in this very southern city. We’re talking Melbourne Australia
– 4.1 Mio in population, currently buzzing with horseracing, soon host of
international cricket games AND host of the Australian Open every year in
January.
But this is not supposed to be an ad for Melbourne, but a bit of
background for my story. I live about 100 km west of Melbourne – small town,
but just right to raise children and just the right distance to be able to hop
to Melbourne and enjoy the international flair of the Arts, Sports or
Entertainment.
Melbourne is a constant buzz. A melting pot and has something on offer
for everyone. My favourite spot? Probably along the Yarra River, and I added a
little scene into the book, where Flynn, the main character, watches the world
go by as he looks over Southbank.
The city with four seasons in one day has a
lot to offer, not only the beach, but also the mountains, which are only an
hour or two away. The marine life, and one of the most popular surf beaches in
the world: Bells Beach where they filmed “Point Break” with Keanu Reeves
and Patrick Swayze.
For me that was the perfect setting for “Innocent Tears” where the two
worlds of Flynn, Business Lawyer, and little Nadine, only six years old,
collide.
Thank you all for stopping by. I appreciate it!
Blurb:
With the help of Emma, an employee at the hotel where Nadine and her grandparents are staying, and his parents, Flynn tries to do the right thing. Yet, the right thing in his eyes differs from his parents’, and Emma is voicing her opinion as well. And right in the middle is little Nadine, still grieving the loss of her mother and finding a wonderful friend in Emma. There’s no doubt she’s afraid where and with whom she will settle.
But in the end, it’s a letter Flynn receives that helps him figuring out what
to do.
