The E-book of my very first novel, 'A Drop in the Ocean', is on sale now until 12th September at only US$0.99, £0.99, €0.99, and in Australia, NZ and Canada, $1.99. The cheapest it has ever been…
Many of my early newsletter subscribers have read it (thank you) but perhaps my more recent subscribers haven't! It has sold 85,000 copies and won four awards and has thousands of reviews with an average rating of 4.4/5, so hopefully you too will enjoy it. It is set on a coral reef and stars sea turtles so why would you not? Here is the description.

On her 49th birthday, Anna Fergusson, Boston neuroscientist and dedicated introvert, arrives at an unwanted crossroads when the funding for her research lab is cut. With her confidence shattered and her future uncertain, on impulse she rents a cabin for a year on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. However Turtle Island, alive with sea birds and nesting Green turtles, is not the retreat she expected. Here she finds love―for the eccentric islanders who become her family; for Tom, the laid-back turtle whisperer; and for the turtles whose ancient mothering instincts move her to tears. But Anna finds that even on her idyllic drop in the ocean there is pain, and as the months fly past her dream for a new life is threatened by a darkness that challenges everything she has come to believe about the power of love.
Evocative and thought-provoking, A Drop in the Ocean is a story about second chances and hard lessons learned in the gentlest of ways.
*************
My latest novel, 'Dancing with Dragons' which was published in mid-July is doing well and also set on a coral reef but stars sea dragons. Reviews/ratings are averaging in the same ballpark as for'A Drop in the Ocean', and it has won two awards so far:
GOLD: INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER BOOK AWARDS (IPPYS), BEST FICTION, AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND/PACIFIC RIM (2024)
SILVER: READERS' FAVORITE INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARD, LITERARY FICTION (2024)
Many of you have bought it, I know, and thank you. If you liked it do please give it a rating or review on Goodreads, Amazon, Kobo, Nook, Apple or where-ever you buy your books. It has a long way to go to equal that good ole Drop in the Ocean!
Thank you!
