Coming Soon: Captive
Read on for a teaser for our soon to be released CAPTIVE.

Just Finished
We have just finished a story, as yet untitled, featuring Beatrice Clemens and her romance with a dashing Army officer. Their relationship starts through a series of letters while he is stationed in far off Africa with a war about to start. Meanwhile Beatrice is nursing at a prestigious London hospital where a doctor has an eye on her. Return soon for a teaser and release dates!

Earthquake
Much like our friends in San Francisco we live in a part of New Zealand that experiences many small earthquakes, and we're overdue for a big one. Our family took part in making a TV documentary showing how a family gets through a large earthquake event: Would You Survive?

Family
Whew, what a busy family we have! Alice spent three months doing research diving in Madagascar, Lizzy returned from France, and the boys have been busy with their band.

CAPTIVE
 

COMING SOON

 "What is the opposite of déjà vu?

Louisa Clemens entered the parlor, stopping in consternation barely a few paces into the room. Peculiarly, the room felt different, as if she had never set foot in it before. After working six years for the Winterbottoms she knew every inch of their parlor: the blue carpet patterned with roses, the chintz-covered sofas, the ormolu clock on the mantel, the glass case full of ferns in the corner of the bay window - and yet she felt as if she had never been here before.

Plastering a façade of normality over her feeling of sudden strangeness, a difference caught her eye, and she turned her head to look to the side of the room where a man stood – a man who was unabashedly staring at her. He was definitely not the sort of man she would expect to see in the Winterbottom’s parlor, assembled amidst all their other guests. Once more she faltered, the sensation of foreignness overcoming her."

In this opening to CAPTIVE Louisa first sets eyes on the man that will change her life, the exotic Khair Bey.
