MY TIME TO SAY HELLO: HAPPY 2014 EVERYONE!

MY TIME TO SAY HELLO: HAPPY 2014 EVERYONE!: And a great one to all my lovely readers! So here we are again, at the end of another year, looking back and wondering what we would have ...

HAPPY 2014 EVERYONE!

And a great one to all my lovely readers!

So here we are again, at the end of another year, looking back and wondering what we would have done differently ... and certain we will be doing the same things all over again in 2014.

But who knows? Life has a trick of occasionally surprising us when we find ourselves moving in a totally different direction to the one we started the new year on, so whatever it is you want in 2014, don't give up hope, don't lose your nerve, keep going.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said: "God never gives you a desire he does not mean to fulfil, whether it be tomorrow or next year, one day that desire will be fulfilled."

And in my own experience, it always happens when we least expect it.

So all good wishes for 2014.

THE WAYWARD SON - JUST PUBLISHED

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY PUBLISHED BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF TREAD SOFTLY ON MY DREAMS and BY EASTERN WINDOWS

A “stand-alone” novel in its own right, THE WAYWARD SON is the 4th and final book in “The Macquarie Series.”

THE WAYWARD SON




THE WAYWARD SON
Set on the beautiful Island of Mull, on the estate of ‘Jarvisfield’ owned by Lachlan Macquarie Junior – a young man deeply unhappy with his lot in life.

In love with Beth Jarvis – the young girl of mixed blood whom he believed would not be accepted in Scotland’s high society, leading him to marry someone else, now much to his regret.
Beth – who has love for no other man but John Dewar, the young naval officer who loved her and left her.
John Dewar – tied to his duty in the slave prevention squadron in West Africa – finally returning to Scotland.
A beautifully told dramatic and moving story of a young couple in love, and a young couple in hate, and the people around them who observe it all.

Based on the true story of the three families of Macquarie, Jarvis and Dewar, The Wayward Son is filled with wry humour and stirring drama as it tells their story, leading to a tragedy that results in an unexpected and heartbreaking loss.
