Heidi and Johanna Spyri

Hi! I made a trip yesterday to somewhere that really inspired me and I would love to tell you about it.
To begin with, did you know that I was named after one of the world’s most famous literary characters? How lucky am I.
My mother named me ‘Heidi’ because she adored the book written by Johanna Spyri. It was quite an unusual name to grow up with, for a little girl in Wales. I love my name now. Pe Read more of this blog post »

"This book was not as good as I had hoped, and it was a struggle to finish it.

The twists were predictable, and all the characters were unlikable.

Quotes by Heidi Gallacher  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I look out at the weather station below and my heart contracts. I must be grateful to have spent such passionate, endearing moments with a man that I love so fully. Many do not find such a love in all of their days. Now, I have no tears left to flow. I am pointed in a new direction, one where if I plant the seeds then surely love will follow”
Heidi Gallacher, Rebecca's Choice

“One night when we were lying in our bed, Geoffrey had told me of the old belief: 'Our baby cannot be born in the bed that he or she was conceived in. It is not allowed - tradition dictates that it has to be in a different bed.”
Heidi Gallacher, Rebecca's Choice

“I turn back to the window. It is as if time slows, as if the gaps between the hollow ticks from the old clock have widened. I watch the weather-crazed animal, unleashed from its flailing, broken buggy, galloping towards the hostelry. I take a step back from the window. As I do so the brilliant lightning fades, but there is a new soft light, a long triangle of light, stretching in the way of the horse. I watch as somebody staggers out of the doorway of the Carpenter's Arms, stumbling forwards into the rain”
Heidi Gallacher, Rebecca's Choice

Tony Flood I like your choices and opinions. Would you like to check out my crime thriller STITCH UP! - KILLER OR VICTIM?, which has received glowing reviews, including one from The Sun newspaper's Stuart Pink who says it has "a riveting plot and electrifying double twist". There's also my fantasy adventure SECRET POTION, which has received excellent reviews and been recommended by other authors for Harry Potter fans. Your feedback would be welcomed. best wishes, Tony Flood, also the author of celebrity book My Life With The Stars - Sizzling Secrets Spilled!
