Cover Reveal – The Song of Youth, a supernatural romantic comedy

***Drum Roll* *Cover Reveal Alert***

Hi, All! I am so excited to present to you today, The Song of Youth, my new novel featuring angels from The Amulet!

It’s a standalone story!

Emilia wished to be young again… And then it happened.

Emilia feels she’s lost out on life and wishes on her 45th birthday to be young again. A mysterious gypsy called Esmera takes pity on her and makes it happen, showing her how to switch her age back and forth by twenty years simply by listening to a song. Soon, new developments sweep Emilia off to the island of Milos, where she was raised, to start her life anew.

A nosy neighbor, a flirtatious ex, and an obnoxious cousin cause trouble as Emilia tries her new gift from time to time, but then two strange girls, Elise and Chloe, turn up one day and begin to help in miraculous ways, being just as magical as Esmera. They are all angels, except Emilia has no idea…

Being young again makes Emilia feel exuberant, but it pales in comparison to the way Andreas, a handsome Greek widower and newly established restauranteur on the island, makes her feel. Together they rescue a puppy, and now she feels like she is being rescued too. Because Andreas, who is in his 50s, has eyes only for the real her, not for her younger self…

What will she choose? The sweetness of love… or the exhilarating gift of youth?

Yes, folks! It took me a while, having trudged through a few family hardships these past few years, but I finally got there! Many thanks to those among you who wrote from time to time asking me when the new book was coming out. Sorry it took so long. The first draft is now finished and the editing begins next week. I plan to work hard on this book so I can publish it on Amazon in time for your summer vacation – well, August, for sure. Both kindle and paperback.

A quick and easy dessert, FREE books and fun on the beach!

Hi, All! Today, I am thrilled to share my latest quick and easy dessert experiment in the kitchen as I try to find healthy alternatives to bought ice cream. And I am thrilled because I managed to make the perfect thing made of Greek yoghurt, that, somehow, tastes like chilled cake instead! Just yummy! I did try to store it in the freezer, and it was okay as an ice cream, but if kept in the fridge, the taste is a lot better.

The lady fingers (savoyard biscuits) in this recipe cause a taste explosion in the mouth, but only, as I stated earlier, if it’s kept in the fridge! The biscuits soak up the excess liquid from the yoghurt/sugar mix fully after 24 hours and it turns into something magical. You just have to try it!

FREE! Sweet first love on the island of Corfu and a strange haunting…

CORFU, 1987: Sofia is reluctant to talk to boys. Her family is strict and gossip in her village on Corfu is relentless. But Danny, a British tourist, is too charming to resist. As she falls in love, strange dreams about a woman dressed in black begin to haunt her…

BRIGHTON, ENGLAND: 1937: Laura arrives in Brighton to pursue a new life. She soon falls for Christian, a stagehand at the West Pier theatre, but when she’s offered a chance to perform there, her love for him is put to the test. Charles Willard, a wealthy aristocrat, starts to pursue her relentlessly…

Book review: How Greek is Your Love by Marjory McGinn #bookreview

I was immediately drawn to this book because of its intriguing title and the idyllic scene on the cover. This is the first novel that I’ve read by Marjory McGinn, having enjoyed immensely the memoirs she’s written from her life in the Peloponnese. I was a little unsure if I was going to follow the story, since this is the second book in her series, but it is a standalone read, one hundred per cent so, and the tiny references to the first volume were scarce. What’s more, the author didn’t offer any spoilers from book 1, much to my delight, as I will undoubtedly read that at some point too.

This author has the unique charisma to introduce intriguing real-life and historical facts about Greece to her prose in a seemingly effortless manner. Her doing that also serves to deepen one’s understanding of Greek life and history. What’s more, her masterful descriptions and dialogue breathe glorious life into places and characters alike. In this book, the fortified villages of Mani, with their unique haunting beauty, came alive in my mind’s eye, and I felt enchanted, memories from my own visit to old, derelict tower houses coming back as I read.

The flow of the story is steady, and every single chapter offers a treat to the reader – be it a delightful conversation, a romantic interlude, a scene of the adorable stray doggie that Bronte takes home, and a lot more – including a threat to her romantic bliss with the charming doctor, and the intrigue of danger in her encounter with an unwholesome local.

The seasoned locals and expats featured in the story were a delight to read, and the author’s writing style is sublime. To put it simply: If you love to read about the Greek way of life, or if you’re missing Greece and looking for a book that will transport you there, this novel has it all to keep you both entertained and comforted. It has romance, intrigue, humor and even a spot of danger!

Zeffy the dog was one of my favorite characters. Just like in the case of Wallace in ‘Things Can Only Get Feta’, the author’s love for dogs shines through and I found myself saying ‘Awww…’ countless times as I read. It certainly warms the heart.

Bronte’s seasoned father, Angus, and the mysterious, famous novelist, who turns out to have a big secret, were other favourite characters of mine. I’ve already started to miss them, so I look forward to the possibility of a book 3.

Well done, Marjory McGinn!

My rating:

5 stars

A fabulous read that will take you straight to Greece!
