Less than a month until the publication in America of The Magdalena Curse. I was reminded vividly of the story a couple of weeks ago attending an idyllic wedding at Loch Awe in the Scottish Highlands.
The father and son at the centre of the story have relocated to the Highlands in search of a serenity they don't find there because of something the father did on a military mission in Bolivia a decade earlier.
There are probably more exotic locations in this one than in anything I've written because the action travels from Bolivia through Scotland to the Swiss Alps. And back...
And the early indications are that my villain (or Villainess) Mrs Mallory has struck a chord with American readers. I hope that's the case.
These are exciting times in which to be a writer because I've a feeling Kindle and the other download formats are delivering new readers who would never have bothered with physical books. If you can interest them, as well as the people for whom physical books have always been a tangible delight, it can only be a good thing.
