Hi Everyone ! As promised, below you will find the links to the paperback and ebook versions of my first novel The Seed.
Over the next couple of months it will be available also on Amazon – both paperback and eventually kindle version, Apple and Nook, in global distribution. I’ll keep you up to date if any of these are preferred points of purchase. 🙂
In the meantime, the description of the novel is below. It is a romance, essentially, but has a dark and ambiguous undertow, which will surprise none of you familiar with my poetry!
I hope if you choose to purchase that you enjoy the novel and I’d welcome your feedback. 🙂
Book Description
Sara Fraser, a solitary artist, is haunted by her dreams of a past life where she is deeply in love—a concept and experience foreign to her waking existence. Just as she is becoming known for her artistic endeavors, Sara launches a new series of paintings based on her dreams.
Robert Masters, a journalist in a passionless marriage, interviews Sara about her latest work, only to discover a personal connection to her paintings: it seems he is the man in her dreams. But when Robert, a man who prefers to peer inside others’ lives instead of his own, suddenly finds the intrigue of a possible shared history catapulting him into an intense romance with Sara, a story from the past begins to haunt both of them. As the lovers contemplate leaving the waking world to follow their dreams, the possibility of happiness dictates them to take risks they never could have imagined before.
The Seed is a story of truth, loss, and the price two people must pay for love.
So, the all important links to lulu are:
For the ebook:

For the paperback:

I’ll be working on a separate Page on this blog so these details are always available, but for the moment, this is the first real promotion of the book so far – really exciting!!
If anyone feels so inclined, I’d appreciate re-blogging – but no pressure/expectations !!
Cheers
Helen
