Happy Release Day #TowardsWhite! Thank you @IFWGAustralia!

Today is the day, and I’m absolutely petrified/ so excited that ‘Towards White’ is finally released into the world!

Readers might find/ There are so many reasons to read this book!

Science Fiction

Stuff is here ready for launch – banner + books!!

It’s got a big idea at its heart that attempts to/ finally answers the oldest question of them all – what happens when we die? Oodles of research have gone into this, over years and years. Here’s part of the blurb:

Scientists in Iceland think they’ve figured out one of our greatest mysteries – where the electrical energy in our brains goes after we die. According to the laws of physics, one form of energy must always become another form. So the electrical energy in our brains and nervous system can’t simply disappear…

Thriller

I’ve been told it’s/ It’s also a page-turner. Here’s the rest of that blurb:

When ex-lawyer Becky Dales travels to Iceland to track down her missing brother, she doesn’t care about the groundbreaking discoveries, or the positive-thinking practiced by the Icelanders – she just wants her brother back. Having stumbled on something she thinks the Icelandic government wants covered up, Becky must piece together the answers fast… before she becomes a victim herself.

Complex & Driven Female Lead

But it’s not as simple as that – Becky Dales is her own hero as well as her worst enemy. I just hope/ know readers are going to identify with her story. We all fall apart sometimes, face the darkest of dark hours, question the essence of our being, then seek a way back to ‘normal’ life. This is a story about a character struggling to do that, and facing a crisis at the same time. Sometimes when it rains, it pours!

Philosophical

As well as unravelling the mysteries of life and death, ‘Towards White’ poses questions about science, religion and justice that should/ will get you thinking!

Iceland

Come to a launch for a free bookmark! Woo hoo!

There’s something magical about Iceland. Nothing can prepare you for the stark beauty of its geography – its lonely lava plains, steamy natural springs, volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, waterfalls and auroras. I haven’t stopped wanting to return since travelling there in 2001. Hopefully/ ‘Towards White’ will take you back there with me!
