Update 2 - A Bird in the Hand
Bird is now with the editor. It was a mad rush to get to the end but I gave it all I've got. I've made some great improvements based on beta reader feedback.
One of the things I added into the story was a reference to Kintsugi. Have you ever heard of that? It is a technique that the Japanese have used for centuries to repair pottery, using lacquer and gold. They transform broken pottery into beautiful pieces of art. The Japanese believe we should embrace the flawed or imperfect.
I am sending off the cover request this afternoon. It will take a couple of weeks to receive my first samples.
I have recently updated the blurb as well. Here it is:A Bird in the Hand
She yearns for the past. He wants a better future. Can they learn to love the present together?
When thirty-something Makayla’s long-term boyfriend breaks it off, she is left broken hearted. Her best friends seize the opportunity and book a bus tour up the west coast of Australia. They hope distance will give her perspective, but she can’t see past what she’s lost.
Tyler needs a break from work and seeks something more fulfilling, even if he has no idea what that is. When his mates plan the trip of a lifetime he decides to tag along. He’s sure it will get him out of his rut, and and in turn, help him set a course for his future.
No one is prepared for the planning mishap that finds Makayla and Tyler sharing a room. They are opposites in just about every way and are definitely not interested in each other. Add a fouled mouthed cockatoo to the equation and the perfect trip is not so perfect. Or is it?
