Spindrift
As with most people who have a desire to write, I lacked the time to even give it much thought until I was away from work with a frozen shoulder. I had recently moved back to North Lincolnshire and was staying with my brother and his wife who very kindly fed me and gave me a bed to sleep in until my house was sold. To keep out of the way and give them some space I took over his computer in the evenings and began the tale of a young woman, Sarah Cooper, who was facing redundancy. Having had the experience of this particular nightmare I knew exactly how she would feel, but unlike her I didn't have the benefit of a legacy.
The story is set in Cornwall which I know very well thanks to my late husband being Cornish, and Sarah, my main character, is bequeathed a beautiful house named 'Spindrift'. Upon receiving a letter asking her to contact a solicitor she sets out to Cornwall and meets up with Daniel Price who is dealing with her great aunt's affairs. She is immediately attracted to Daniel and their love story begins. Unfortunately, he has failed to inform her of Christina, his ex-girlfriend who turns up and starts to cause problems between the couple. Christina goes to great lengths to claim Daniel as her own but he and Sarah have other ideas for their future.
On a personal note and I will leave it up to you to decide whether this is spooky or not - but I originally called the character Daniel, 'David'. Within months of finishing the story I gained employment at a firm of solicitors and yes, you've guessed it - my boss was called David. When it came to publishing time I decided to rename my character 'Daniel' to avoid the obvious embarrassment to one and all!
