Reviews

Reviews…love them, hate them, they come with the territory of writing. Reading is a subjective thing, our personal tastes come into play big time when we read, see a movie, listen to music.

The Surgeon’s Chosen Wife has been reviewed and here is what was said at  The Pink Heart Society …. 

The Surgeon’s Chosen Wife – Fiona Lowe

Line: Mills and Boon Medical Romance
Release month: March 2007 UK, Mid April Australia and NZReview:

In her latest Medical Romance, Fiona Lowe sweeps her readers off to the beautiful town of Yakkabura in Queensland in this emotional tale which will tug at your heartstrings and bring a tear to your eye!

GP Sarah Rigby is busy looking after her Sam and working every hour God sends at her health clinic – she’s certainly got no time from romance – so why is she so intrigued by the sudden reappearance of Ryan Harrison? As teenagers they had shared a passionate kiss but he’d left town and she’d never seen him again – and now he’s back recovering from an accident and trying to sell his childhood home to finance his life back in Melbourne.

Despite the fact that a lot of time has passed since that brief kiss, Sarah is still attracted to Ryan, but with a young child to look after, a busy professional life and Ryan’s apathy towards Yakkabura, she knows that a future with him is out of question.

But as fate throws Ryan and Sarah into close proximity, Ryan begins to realise that Yakkabura does have its attractions and that Sarah is the first woman who’s ever captured his heart and made him feel alive. But will Ryan be able to resist the lure of Melbourne or will he realise that home is where the heart is?

Fiona Lowe just keeps getting better and better. Her books resonate with her readers because they are about real people with real problems, but they still have got that touch of romantic fantasy which make them simply irresistible. Fiona Lowe is a writer I know I can always rely on to deliver the goods and in The Surgeon’s Chosen Wife she certainly delivers! A touching story about getting a second chance at love and life, her storytelling prowess will hold you spellbound and her characters leap off the pages and come alive instantly.

The Surgeon’s Chosen Wife is the perfect novel to lose yourself into and one which you can’t afford to miss!

There’s Always another Mountain

This morning my son played a piano piece perfectly, it absolutely sparkled. He’s been working on it for a month. He turned the page to a new piece. Back to square one of playing single hands, sightreading, new beat…his bottom lip stuck out…he knew the hard work that was ahead. He wasn’t happy, he wanted the accolades the polished piece offered.
It got me thinking that this was pretty much like writing.

I’m into the third year of being a published author. I have sold 6 books and hope to sell three more this year. It should be easier right? But it isn’t because just like learning the piano there is always another mountain to climb.

 I think the sale of a book is one of the most exciting things and that doesn’t change. Each time my editor says, ‘We’re buying it’, I get this huge endorphin rush. The sale is an addictive feeling.

Then she asks, ’so when can we see the next book?’ and I tumble down into the crevasse between the mountains. The process starts again. I find the start of a new story a tough gig…I much prefer writing the second half of the story.

Right now I am a third of the way up a steep mountain as Kate and Baden get to know each other. Time is starting to press down on me too. What keeps me going? A few things ..the love of writing, the excitement when what you try actually works but also the promise of that wonderful rush a sale brings. Addictions come in all sorts of guises.

Hopefully this one is healthy

On the Move

My blog has moved due to minute fonts when viewed through Internet Explorer Seven:-( I tried every solution I could think of, consulted people and in the end the only answer I could get was ‘use Firefox.’ As many of you use Internet Explorer Seven I decided the best way was to get a new blog. So here we are with a lovely new space. I’ll get to decorating along the way….first task is to find out HOW to get my purple font back

To celebrate this lovely, shiny new room I’m uploading my latest Australian cover! Please let me know what you think!
