New Author, Jan Edwards. Her First Book, ‘Daughter of Deià’.
Last month, our friend, Jan Edwards published her first book.
Jan’s broadcasting career combined with nearly 20 years as an expat on the island of Mallorca has obviously given her the framework for her first novel which has been published this month.
Jan says: “I am grateful to everyone who takes a chance on me as a novelist and buys the book. So if you fancy a bit of armchair travel – or share my interest in radio, cats, and Mallorca – check it out on Amazon here.
When a lifelong family secret is uncovered, radio presenter Laura Lundon heads to Mallorca … where her life changes in ways she’d never have imagined.
“When radio presenter Laura Lundon loses the job she adores – shortly after her beloved aunt’s death – she thinks things couldn’t get any worse. Until she learns a long-kept family secret. On discovering she was conceived in Mallorca, Laura faces up to her dislike of foreign travel to visit the Spanish holiday island … on a mission to discover her biological father’s identity. After gorgeous local photographer Carlos leads Laura to a shocking conclusion, she flees. How does she then find herself in temporary charge of a Mallorcan cat refuge, despite knowing nothing about cats? She copes with litter trays and needle-like claws, but not the wandering paws of the property’s randy landlord. When Laura receives an eviction notice, the clock is ticking towards the day that she and the refuge cats will be homeless. Can she find alternative premises in time? And will the truth about her biological father bring her the love and happiness she thought was lost?”
Signed paperbacks are available from Kay Halley’s Universal Bookshop in Portals Nous, Mallorca.
