Between the Pages

Hi

Hope you are enjoying the autumn weather (Spring for your folks north of the equator). This is my favourite time of year. The weather is a milder and the days are still reasonably long.

Thios story isn't about books, but I'll tell you anyway.

I have had a fascinating experience taking place on my cumquat tree over the past couple of weeks. I discovered a caterpillar, which I identified as a future Dainty Swallowtail butterfly. I wasn't so happy about the decimation to the young tender leaves, but kept an eye on this wriggly, hungry creature.

A couple of days later, he/she turned into a chrysalis, so that was something new to observe on a regular basis.

A couple of days ago, I checked it out again, and noticed that it had changed colour. I was worried that it might have died in there.

Returning from a shopping trip only an hour later, I discovered that he/she was very much alive and had emerged. She sat around for an hour or so while her wings dried and then disappeared. Hopefully, she finds a mate and then lays some eggs. The cycle of life repeats. Watching makes a nice break from writing.

Girl On A Plane

by Cassandra O'Leary

Perfect for fans of The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren and The Layover by Laci Waldon, Girl on a Plane is an entertaining summer read for grumpy-sunshine romcom lovers. 

Climb on board for a hilarious and emotional journey with Girl on a Plane, the contemporary romance novel that will have you on the edge of your seat. Sparks fly in mid-air when Sinead, a feisty Irish flight attendant, meets Gabriel, a grumpy Aussie CEO in First Class. 

When a storm hits during their flight from Melbourne to London, they are unexpectedly grounded in Singapore. No-one could predict Sinead and Gabriel would be locked-in together in the same hotel suite…with only one bed! One steamy night could lead to more as they chase each other across the world. 

Sinead doesn't know if she can follow her heart after her disastrous relationship with her stalker ex-boyfriend. He shook her so much, shattered her confidence in men, and made it hard to trust. Her connection with Gabriel is powerful, a call to throw caution to the wind. Maybe it's time to find love, a man to call her own. To heal her broken heart.

But Gabriel isn't exactly an open book. He wants Sinead with an intensity that scares him but he can't afford to let a woman in, to pursue anything besides a hook-up. What if Sinead doesn't understand the limits he has to place on relationships? What if she cracks him wide open and disturbs the careful balance of his life? He may never recover.

Follow Sinead and Gabriel as they navigate a new relationship while dealing with the excess baggage of their pasts. Will love take flight?

A beta reader reads an early draft of a manuscript, and comments on issues, such as whether the plot was engaging, if there are any confusing plot holes, and whether the tension or conflict needs ramping up. This draft usually hasn't been through intensive editing. If you are interested in joining the beta team, email me at beta reader.
