Tee for Two a satisfying start

Well we launched “Tee for Two” a couple of weeks ago and I’m happy to say in that short time it’s sales have exceeded our expectation. I must admit we were a bit worried as it is a rather unusual approach to romance but it seems to have caught on. I keep saying we as Mike inspired the science fiction bit which is the basis of the second half of the book but it seemed to fit and allowed me to develop the two main characters that had been at odds with each other in the first half. I enjoy it when I have people who in some ways develop themselves by just throwing situations at them and letting then deal with them. In fact Gemma and Dave had become my best friends by the end of the book but it is knowing when to end the story and I left them in France reminiscing over the full life they had enjoyed.

It really is here "Tee for Two"

It’s out “Tee for Two” published a few days ago, the private life and loves of a professional lady golfer, Gemma. She certainly had a rough ride and witnessed some events that greatly up set her. How she dealt with them is the theme of the book, there is also a little science fiction which placed her in a position that lead to her career being in question and was another problem she had to solve. Early in the book she met a man who was to help her throughout her life and it is the relation between these two that provides the spine of the story.

I enjoyed writing this book and it did lead to a lot of research which I found fascinating but this is not a golf book in the normal sense of things but about the challenges Gemma finds off the course and her relationship she has with her male caddies and house hold staff.

My new book Tee for two nearly here

Picture for the cover
My new book is nearly ready for publication despite my struggles with the computer and I thought you might like to hear a little more about it, so here is the preface.
Gemma Stanford professionally was a leading woman golfer consistently in the top ten and admired by an enthusiastic following. Behind the public image was a girl becoming increasingly unsure of herself, buffeted by misfortune and in need of a strong male guidance. Having parted with her long time caddy who had fulfilled the role until he became too demanding of matters outside golf.
Finding a new caddy, dealing with her sponsors, writing articles, attending photo shoots, giving interviews and a million other things pressured Gemma to take a holiday with an old girlfriend in her cottage in Wales. During her stay an attractive male forced himself upon her, not immediately welcome he gradually seduced her into a short relationship. Her need to return to London broke up the affair as his lack of understanding of her busy life lead to a jealous parting.
Eventually Gemma found a suitable handsome male caddy to work with on a continuing basis. Their partnership was so successful both professionally and personally that they became lovers and decide to marry. All was well for several month when Craig was killed leaving Gemma distraught. Dave her male from Wales still dreaming of their relationship and deeply attached to her had found out of Craig’s demise and helped her through this dramatic aftermath.

After a considerable time of creating confidence deepening their love, Gemma came to rely wholly on Dave and eventually asked him to become her manager and caddy, and this is where the story really starts.
