Interviews, Book Recommendations and Other News

Morton S. Gray Radio Appearance

I was recently interviewed for a new radio programme, Books and Tunes on West Wiltshire Radio by fellow Choc Lit author Christine Penhall. I have been interviewed a few times in the past for BBC Radio Hereford and Worcester, so I knew what to expect, but Chris made the process very relaxed and the interview was recorded. You can listen to it on this link – here

Other Choc Lit authors who have been interviewed for Books and Tunes include Kirsty Ferry, Berni Stevens and I know Victoria Cornwall and Anni Rose are on the programme soon too, so it’s worth keeping an eye on.

Recent Reads

I always have a book on the go and thought I would share a few of my favourite recent reads:

The Dubvronik Book Club by Eva Glyn, One More Chapter

In a tiny bookshop in Dubrovnik’s historic Old Town, a book club begins…

Newly arrived on the sun-drenched shores of Croatia, Claire Thomson’s life is about to change forever when she starts working at a local bookshop. With her cousin Vedran, employee Luna and Karmela, a professor, they form an unlikely book club.

But when their first book club pick – an engrossing cosy crime – inspires them to embark upon an investigation that is close to the group’s heart, they quickly learn the value of keeping their new-found friends close as lives and stories begin to entwine…

The Cornish Midwife Jo Bartlett, Boldwood Books

A fresh start…

Midwife Ella Mehenick left the small Cornish town of Port Agnes for London and never looked back. But when her seemingly perfect life crashes down around her, there’s only one place she can heal her battered heart – the place she once called home.

A new arrival…

Ella is quickly welcomed into the small community midwife team and loves her new job caring for mums and their precious babies – it’s what she does best! But being back also means facing ex-flame Dan Ferguson…the first man to break her heart.

A second chance at love?

Dan is still as gorgeous as ever, but he’s never forgiven Ella for leaving. And now she’s back it’s clear that there is unfinished business between them. As Ella settles into her new/old life, she can’t stop the memories of how she once loved Dan so completely – and maybe never stopped.

Maybe coming home to Cornwall is Ella’s chance to love again…

Meet The Cornish Midwives of Port Agnes- where community, friendship and love are always delivered.

(This is the first in this series and I have read and enjoyed most of the other books in the series now too!)

Plot Twist by Breea Keenan, Headline Accent

Becca Taylor is having a bad summer.

Her best friend is dead. Her good-for-nothing ex is back in her life. And her career is in freefall.

So, when fellow writer Riley O’Connell invites Becca to the charming Irish countryside, she can’t pack her bags fast enough, even though they have never met.

But happily-ever-after isn’t quite so simple.

And Riley is not a sensitive female romance novelist like Becca assumed. No, he is definitely a man. A hot, six-foot tall, Irish man.

But with their complicated pasts getting in the way, Becca and Riley just can’t get on the same page.

So can fate give their love story a rewrite?

What Am I Up To?

Having published my seventh book set in my fictionalised town of Borteen in January, writing wise I’m now working on a new contemporary novel series and a couple of timeslip books. My writing process never ceases to amaze me, in that I seem to like working on several projects at once. Wish me luck.

Thank you for visiting Morton S. Gray’s blog.

My latest release is A New Arrival in Borteen Bay
