Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of...well, if not rum, then possibly champagne?

This month I’m leaving the cares of a house move and massive renovations behind in favour of concentrating on a fabulous adventure on board the world’s largest true sailing ship.

Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted sailing ship built since the beginning of the last century.

With 42 sails, I’m sure to be busy hoisting sails and tying knots, and yo-ho-hoing, all of which I hope to share with you on Facebook, as well as next month right here with some hopefully fantastic pictures...unless they make me walk the plank :-)

If this doesn’t prove to be the inspiration for a brand new book, I don’t know what will be!

And here’s the amazing Cruise itinerary.

So yes, it’s back to the fabulous Amalfi coast of Italy. I can’t wait to share this trip with you. It’s sure to provide inspiration by the shedload, so expect a return to Italy in a book coming soon! And who knows - maybe a red-hot billionaire sailor too.

Meanwhile, look out for my next release in November:

My next book release in Spring 2019, is set in another of my favourite Mediterranean hot spots, Spain. Featuring Alejandro and Sadie, this hot romance sees a rugged, passionate gypsy king, who happens to be a proud Spanish grandee on his father’s side, going head to head with a strong-willed fine-dining chef. One thing I promise you: sparks -and sauce- will fly.

I wish you all the most wonderful month of September. I can’t wait to share what are certain to be some amazing photographs in October that will whizz you on board the Royal Clipper, then on to Rome and Sicily, and finally the wonderful islands off the shore of Italy that I adore writing about.

Love to you all,
xx
