In The Memory of Roses, (scheduled for late fall release by Rebel Ink Press) it was the view from my balcony at a little inn perched high on a hill on the Greek island of Corfu. I looked out over masses of olive trees with their clusters of ripe fruit, a sea of dark green, and thought “What if…”
Then later, on the island of Crete, wandering though the ruins of Knossos, a Bronze age society predating Christianity by two thousand years, again I thought, “What if...?”
So my hero, a gorgeous free spirited young Greek archaeologist, and my heroine, a tense unhappy young woman whose archaeologist father left her a villa on Corfu and a deep family mystery to resolve, were born.

The view from my balcony on Corfu. Such a setting breathes romance. Andreas, the young archaeologist in The Memory of Roses, was born and grew up near here.
This hilltop inn on Corfu, the Lavant, where I stayed for a week, was the inspiration for the villa left to my heroine, Brit McQuaid, by her father in The Memory of Roses.
