“It’s
not the money that makes you rich. It’s the knowledge that the
other person loves you and is always there for you, no matter what.
That makes you content and, therefore, rich.”

Thank
you, Lisabet, for having me on your blog today to share my latest
release with your readers.
DREAMS
… who doesn’t have them? They’re an interesting part of our
life. There are dreams that are straight forward, or awkward, scary,
some we do remember, most of them are gone from our memory once we
wake and as much as we try to, we are unable to recall details. I
love dreams and I try to check the possible meaning whenever I can.
Some make sense, most of them I wonder.
The
definition of dream according to the Oxford
Dictionaries
is “A
series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's
mind during sleep.”
Of
course, we day dream as well. As an author I most certainly do. As a
reader I do as well, long after the story’s finished I imagine how
the characters keep going.
In
my latest book, however, a dream takes Hollie all the way from
Australia to Ireland … because that’s where she believes she can
find the person who’s crept into her dreams for the last few
months, making her life miserable.
When
I started the story about ten years ago I wanted to include dreams,
having just figured out a recurrent dream of mine. And where else to
have the answer of a dream to be found in Ireland, the land of
fairies, leprechauns,
and
shamrocks.
The perfect setting.
I
hope you will give the book a chance. One reader wrote: “Beautifully
told through vivid imagery, the characters come to life and stick
with you long after reading it. Highly recommend!”

There
must be a reason for her dreams...
Hollie
Anderson,
a young woman living in Tasmania, is content with life, even more so
since she has met Jeremy. However, she has been having a recurrent
dream that impacts her daily life, as well as her relationship, a
dream that eventually takes her on a journey to Ireland.
Samantha
Shaughnessy
enjoys the success as Head of Advertising for a popular magazine in
the Irish capital Dublin. Married to Padraic, she thinks she loves
her husband, but when she meets Hollie under unusual circumstances,
she needs to face the truth--and not just about her marriage.
When
both women meet and find they share an unexpected tie to the past,
will they finally be able to move on into relationships with the men
they love?
Excerpt
Hollie
stared at the sliding door but didn’t dare to move any closer. So,
this was Dublin. She had been glued to the window since the plane
started descending. It didn’t appear all that different from
Tasmania. There were fields upon fields of green paddocks, divided by
hedges and rocks, sometimes in even squares and sometimes, it seemed,
just randomly. She even spotted a few double-decker buses from way
above.
Overwhelmed
by the thought that she was about to set foot on Irish soil, she
hesitated.
“Hollie.
What are you waiting for?” Davo was already outside, but his
movement set off the sensor and the door opened in front of her.
She
shrugged. “I don’t know.”
He
came back in, took her hand, and led her outside. “I’ll be there
all the way. We’ll find whatever is worrying you. I promise.”

Thank you, Lisabet, for sharing my new book with your readers ♥
Hello, Iris,
I've never been to either Australia or Ireland - but I imagine they're quite different.
Thanks for being my guest!
