Welcome to ALINTA BAY

which is set at the Great Ocean Road in Australia. If you love small town romance, be sure to get your copy today!
Confronted with the choice to care for his friend’s family on the other side of the world or to return to Alinta Bay to be with his own newfound family, how will Noah choose?
Following the death of his grandmother, Noah Fielding returns to Alinta Bay and the first thing — or person — he finds is the next-door neighbour in his nan’s bathroom — naked no less. Still jetlagged, he doesn’t hit it off with Molly at first. Yet, over the next few weeks, as his past uncovers itself bit by bit, she becomes his anchor, his friend, and his lover.
Molly Reid had the world at her feet, happily married with a young son … until a tragic car accident took everything away from her. With her heart broken, she moves to Alinta Bay to escape the memories of the past. Her peaceful existence, however, is interrupted after a heavy storm floods her house and she temporarily moves into her recently deceased neighbour’s house next door.
When Noah’s friend and partner goes missing during a routine flight, Noah returns to Alaska to help, but will he come back for Molly?
Excerpt:
Noah Fielding woke to the sound of his phone buzzing relentlessly on the bedside table. Reluctantly removing one arm from under the covers, he reached for his watch, squinting to read the time. Three o’clock in the morning. Who in the hell would call at this crappy time of the day? Or night as it were.
A rumble of thunder almost drowned out the buzzing, but it didn’t go away. With a big sigh, he grabbed the phone and answered. “Hello?”
“Is this Noah Fielding?”
“Who wants to know?”
“My name is Graham Hendrix, and I represent the estate of the late Mrs. Eliza Fielding from Alinta Bay. My apologies, I tried to get the time difference right, but it seems I didn’t.”
He swung his legs to the side of the bed and sat up. “Late?”
“My apologies, Mr. Fielding, your grandmother passed away two days ago. She had pneumonia from which she didn’t recover.”
He held onto the phone like his life depended on it and for several long seconds stared into the darkness. A pain settled in his chest and instinctively he rubbed it with the palm of his hand. “Shit.”
He almost missed Graham’s words, which were spoken in a hushed voice. “My condolences.”
Throwing himself back into the pillow, he tried to sort all the thoughts rushing through his head and deal with the guilt that spread through him.
“You’ve inherited her house and her savings,” he heard Graham saying. “I can call you again in a few days if you’d like me to get everything organised from this end. Unless you’d like to come home.”
Home.
Alinta Bay hadn’t been his home for so many years and the simple word sounded so wrong. Alaska was his home and had been for over six years now. And he was happy.

Tell us about your inspiration for this story.
I like to travel and I like to put my experiences into stories. My current story is set along the Australian Great Ocean Road, one of my favourite places to spend a long weekend. The story is also set in Alaska, a place I travelled many years ago. I like to bring together two opposites, may it be the characters or their backgrounds. It’s a challenge, sometimes I get it right, sometimes not so much.
What do you love about the genre you write in?
I write contemporary romance. I like bringing people together in a world where there’s so much hate, crime and prejudices. As a reader I like to finish a book with the “Aww” moment at the end, feeling warm and fuzzy. I’m hoping my reader have exactly that moment when reading my books.
Do you write in other genres?
I’d like to write crime, but I don’t have that talent in me – unfortunately.
What’s your favorite part of the writing life?
My favourite part is to actually write the story. Let the characters guide me to what they want, who they want, where they want it … LOL. Put my day dreams onto paper. It’s a bit like a puzzle. Every chapter a piece and once you got all of the pieces in the right order, you created a beautiful picture with words.
What do you do for fun when you’re not writing?
I try to spend a lot of time with my family. My girls are in their mid- to late teens so I’m desperate to spend as much time with them as possible before they start their own adult life. We also love travelling. That’s where I get most of my ideas from. Or … just have a really nice walk with our dog
Any advice for aspiring writers?
Do not give up! Whatever others say, do not give up. If you enjoy writing you will have to believe in yourself. Your time to shine will come. No doubt whatsoever!
What makes you put down a book without finishing?
Bad editing!
