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.
