As the days turn cool, this is a great time to curl up with a good book, so we're always on the lookout for new authors and new books to read. And today we've found one as we visit with author Isla Grey. Did you always way to be a writer?
I remember always writing as a little girl so I guess it’s
always been in my blood. Of course, back
then I was writing little rhymes for my grandmother, so it’s definitely changed
a bit over the years.
How did you get started in publishing?
I had worked on one project for a couple of years. I was writing it while I was expecting my
daughter. So, when she came along, that
got put on the backburner for a year or so.
Finally, when I had a few extra moments, I dug out the manuscript and
dusted it off. It took some editing and
rejection, but I finally found a publisher who wanted it.
Tell us about your latest book and where you got the idea
for it.
My latest book is Asylum Harbor. It tells the story of Devon Brown who moves
to the remote Shell Island as the new bartender of the Salty Dog. She doesn’t want—or need—trouble but she
finds plenty of it, especially in the form of the island’s harbormaster, Kerr.
What do you like best about your heroine and hero?
For Devon, I like the fact that she’s trusting and dedicated
to the people she holds close. Kerr is
headstrong, no nonsense but he’s very protective of the people closest to him.How about a blurb?
Trouble is
the last thing Devon Brown needs when she leaves the painful memories of her
past behind and heads to Shell Island.
As the Salty Dog’s new bartender, she finds herself drawn to Kerr, the
Shell Island harbormaster. But finding
her happily-ever-after is difficult when dealing with an obnoxious bootlegger
who supplies the bar with illegal liquor and a jealous coworker.
A
standoffish loner with damaged emotions, Kerr avoids relationships like the
plague. Things change when Devon catches
his eye. When a simple flirtation grows
serious, the coworker and bootlegger quickly become obstacles to any future
Kerr and Devon may have together. As the
situation worsens, Devon realizes that even the still waters of Asylum Harbor
are no refuge during a storm.
What are you working on now?I’m currently working on the second book in the Salty Dog Series. There’s plenty of trouble for the people of Shell Island to get into.
That sounds great and we look forward to seeing what else happens on Shell Island. How can readers buy a copy?
