A retired chef of over 40 years, James Miller has finally achieved his dream of becoming a writer. This is his second book written during the Covid shutdown. Married for 32 years to Jill, he has three children and two grandchildren. James enjoys travelling and meeting people along the way, which helps to inspire his writing creativity. Having achieved a lot as a chef, James hopes one day to write a piece of work that will propel him forward in the literary world and hopefully make him a bestseller.
Set between the old Cotswolds market town of Stow on the Wold and the Dordogne region of France our heroine finds herself in a life-shattering situation having caught out her cheating husband.
Approaching her 50th birthday and with two children, one away at university and the other out on a gap year in the far east, Lottie will struggle by with the help of a few friends as she ponders where she will go from here.
Heartache and low self-esteem abounds her every waking minute; will she ever recover, can an escape to her elder sister’s holiday villa in France come to her rescue? Join us on a journey that will give the reader an idea of how true friendship works and enjoy an insight into the wonders of the Dordogne countryside that is a must for wine lovers and general tourists alike.
Will a chance meeting with a charming handsome French vineyard owner refuel her passion for life or will a chance discovery ruin it, the journey is sometimes painful but some amusing moments can intercede. Making the right life choices and decisions at the right time will decide how Lottie’s life turns out.
A history of bad marriages and relationships can cause barriers to be raised when meeting a member of the opposite sex. Sometimes the ideal partner could be knocking at the door but past mistakes can cause blurred vision and deaf ears to the well-intended gestures of a genuine suitor. Opening up to someone new is difficult when dark shadows of the past hover nearby. Can trust ever be given again to someone new? Wonderful opportunities can arise out of some unexpected situations, and we must be ready to seize upon every one of them but we must also be aware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. True love has a way of finding you, and if you are open to it, you will never look back and will banish the demons of the past forever. They say, “Never judge a book by its cover,” and maybe we shouldn’t judge new potential happiness by a former lover.
The road to true love is seldom straight, as petty problems and stubborn mindsets can derail even the most promising bonds. Patience and understanding are vital for love to truly flourish. Here we find a budding relationship with great potential – but do they have what it takes to go the distance? Can the transformational power of three little words turn their impending tragedy into something wonderful and everlasting? Join us as we discover whether this couple can overcome the obstacles of close-mindedness and lack of communication to achieve an enduring love. It’s a story that reveals how nurturing empathy and acceptance is key to any romance standing the test of time. In the end, we’ll see if the patience to see another’s perspective paired with the power of heartfelt words can transform a tragedy into something wonderful and everlasting.
