A Freeing of the Heart

Casey Swan
 A KAURI BAY ROMANCE   Book Two

Anna’s boss has asked her to take young Luke Morrison into her home in Kauri Bay, and give him a chance to write a best seller. Okay, so she’s a publishing assistant, and she guides authors through the process of writing, but Luke is one of ‘the’ Morrisons, stars of the literary and acting worlds in New Zealand for over a hundred years.

Her boss has paid a huge advance on the book, and there’s every chance Panacea Publishing will fold, and Anna will be out of a job, if she doesn’t succeed. Not to mention how will she pay the mortgage on her recently purchased villa in the lovely seaside town. So, no pressure then.

On top of that Luke is younger than her, and at 30 he’s the same age that she and Jamie ‘the most unreliable boyfriend in the world’ were when they parted. Jamie had been her one and only boyfriend, and she still detests men of that age. She wonders if she can ever be professional enough to pull this off.

Hello, wherever you are in the world.

I live in an area of New Zealand called Taranaki, which is built around a huge mountain rising from the middle of a flat plain. Mount Taranaki (2518m) looks a lot like Mount Fuji, and is another almost perfect volcanic cone. I climbed it first when I was thirteen, and I've spent a lot of time on it ever since. We say we live 'under the mountain' if we live in Taranaki.

I had some trouble finding a new pen name for the Kauri Bay romance series. I had already used Eric Thorpe for my popular military thrillers, and another name for my recent science-fiction trilogy, so what to do next? In the end I took the first name from one grandfather and the last name from the other, and tweaked two letters to make the name flow. That's how the name Casey Swan was born. I’m aiming at six books in the Kauri Bay series, and we'll see what happens after that.

As I mentioned in the Author's Note to the first Kauri Bay book (A Bridge Between Hearts), physio yoga over fifty does exist, and I teach it. I have essentially invented this branch of yoga myself, with a lot of help from other yoga teachers, a physio friend and now a chiropractor friend. I did once try to put a few hour-long classes up at YouTube so everyone could benefit, but the cost was too high and there was a large digital hurdle to overcome. I understand something like this is underway in Europe, which is good to hear.

May the books you read inspire your life!
