Catherine Lind - Unexpected Journeys

[Catherine]

Hello,
My name is Catherine Lind and I have just published my first novel, Unexpected Journeys.
This is the story about two people who meet each other under somewhat unusual circumstances.

Helena is a young lawyer from New York; she is a widow with a baby boy. It wasn’t a happy marriage and she feels guilty, lost and scared. She realizes that she has become an insecure mess and she doesn’t know how to find her way back again. Her mother tries to persuade her to return to the family home in Boston, but Helena knows that she will lose herself even more if she does. Instead she decides to go away, to a place as far away as possible, where no one knows her and her story. She books an extended holiday to the island Spetses in Greece, a quiet little island that looks like a mountain in the ocean. A perfect place for her to try to figure out what they are going to do next, how they are going to rebuild their life. On the flight over she promises her little boy that everything will be okay in the end, she just doesn’t know how.

Greg is a spoiled bachelor from a wealthy family, but behind the playboy facade is a man torn between two cultures, two lifestyles. Growing up in England and with Greek parents, he has never found his bearing in life and instead he kept running. Life finally caught up with him when one of his temporary girlfriends gets pregnant. At the age of 40 he has to face the fact that his play time is over, as a single father he has to figure out what kind of life he wants to give his little daughter. Greg needs to think, he needs to decide what he want to do with his life and find out who he really is. Is he British, is he Greek or is he something in-between. His father wants him to take over the company, but for Greg that is a horrible faith. There is only one thing he’s sure of; he doesn’t like the man he has become. Together with his little daughter he goes to the one place he can think of, back to Greece, back to his mother’s island to try to find his roots.

I hope you will enjoy it, I enjoyed writing it and I think of it as a sweet love story with some serious thoughts behind it. Have you any questions, or thoughts about it, feel free to ask. Since I’m highly dyslexic the book has been professionally edited. What I write here might not always be proofread so I hope you can overlook any misspelling and not let that reflect on my books.
