Blind Date in Gibraltar

Sunday 17 June 2012

Does a four-year gap between blogs qualify for a record in the Guiness Book of Records?

But that is also the gap between publication of my first novel 'Marching in Scotland, Dancing in New York' and my new one 'Blind Date in Gibraltar' available as an eBook.  As I might have said in my school-teaching days: 'tries hard, could do better'.

And so I shall.  There is so much to blog about: the dismal state of the economy, whether Scottish independence is a good bet, why I spend more time cooking than writing, why Glasgow is better than Edinburgh (a wife vs. husband issue).  So, look forward to more blogs on any of these subjects or none.

I hope you will want to read 'Blind Date in Gibraltar' and will like it.  Information about it and where to purchase it (from any eBook retailer direct to eBook readers or to PC) can be found on my website www.margaretdunlop.com

The novel, starting off in Gibraltar and then set on the Costa del Sol in Spain, has an authentic feel as I got to know the place well from living and holidaying there.  You will get to know the charm of the country but also its shady underbelly.  You will feel the hopes, fears and emotions of people and empathise with the protagonists in the story.  They find that the road to love - or to a 'new' life in the sun - is not straight, most especially among hedonists and when crooks and drug dealers are around. Also, problems from a life thought to have been left behind can rear up and intrude on the new.
