Columbus Day took over five years to complete but I was still working full time then, and being the first book, the 'learning curve' was longer than I had expected. That, coupled with researching places and events, I managed to launch the 1st edition of Columbus Day on Amazon in early 2012,
Try this romantic
novel with a touch of intrigue. It’s a well-paced story of life and hope after
loss and despair. An ordinary man living an ordinary life until he loses it
all, or so he thinks. . .
George Morton has lost everything. His wife, Aimee, was killed by a drunk
driver, then, six months later he is accused of cyber theft.
Deciding there is nothing left for him in England, George buys an old farmhouse
in a small village in Spain, much to the dismay of his three children, Alex,
Bonnie and Christopher.
There he meets the attractive Maria, and her not so agreeable papa, Vincente.
George settles down to a new way of life, but not forgetting his lovely Aimee
and the wonderful years they had together.
Someone else however is not forgetting him. Oliver Barnes, Chief Executive of
Barnes & Barnes International Bankers, whom George worked for. Oliver is
convinced George has the banks money and is determined to retrieve it, no
matter how.
As life goes on for George he becomes closer to Maria, and she too wants to
start a new chapter in her life, either with or without her father's consent.
Good food and World Music are paramount in George's life, and he sets about
rediscovering these senses once more, and enjoying adventures along the way,
which all culminate on Columbus Day, 12th October.
