Margaret Blake stopped by RJ after hours "My friend Anya came around the other night. We had a glass of wine and casting her eyes over my bookshelf she pointed a finger. "Say isn't that a new book up there!" Well everyone else in my circle knew I had a new book but Anya had been on holiday to Italy. She was just back, looking svelte and bronzed and as beautiful as ever. Racing
over to the shelf she tugged the book out from its snug place.
"Shadows of the Past, what does that mean exactly?" |

explained. The "Shadows of the Past" is what haunts
my heroine Alva's, memory. All she has in her mind is shadows
and she is unsure whether they are real or not. Alva has lost
her memory; she cannot remember her husband the handsome and darkly
mysterious Conte Luca Mazareeze

She cannot remember the Palazzo on the Italian island of Santa Caterina. Tragically, she cannot even remember that she gave birth to a baby who died only moment from being born. "Italian islands," Anya said, eyes round and lips forming the kiss position. "Love the idea of it. I went to Capri and loved it. Is it like Capri?" |

"Not really." Of course I had been to Capri too, as well as the Island of Elba but Santa Caterina is a combination of many places. It's beautiful and unspoilt, rather like Alva. "And the Conte, is she in love with him, is he in love with her…?" She flicked through the book "Ah, he sounds delicious," she declared, now reaching for her glass of wine. "Can I take this home to read, it looks like it's going to be yummy." "I'm not going to tell you who is in love with whom and as for taking it home….give it here, I'm a poor struggling author, buy the book or borrow it from the library!" "You're
mean," she laughed. "But I will buy it…handsome,
mysterious Conte, beautiful island and a woman who can't remember,
sounds like it will be worth the money!" |
