Today is the day, and I’m absolutely petrified\/<\/del> so excited<\/em> that ‘Towards White’ is finally released into the world!<\/p>\n

Stuff is here ready for launch \u2013 banner + books!!<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s got a big idea at its heart that attempts to\/<\/del>\u00a0finally answers<\/em> the oldest question of them all \u2013 what happens when we die? Oodles of research have gone into this, over years and years. Here’s part of the blurb:<\/p>\n

Scientists in Iceland think they\u2019ve figured out one of our greatest mysteries \u2013 where the electrical energy in our brains goes after we die. According to the laws of physics,\u00a0one form of energy must always become another form. So the electrical energy in our brains and nervous system can’t simply disappear…<\/p>\n

Thriller<\/h3>\n

I’ve been told it’s\/<\/del> It’s also<\/em> a page-turner. Here’s the rest of that blurb:<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 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\u2026 before she becomes a victim herself.<\/p>\n

Complex & Driven Female Lead<\/h3>\n

But it’s not as simple as that \u2013 Becky Dales is her own hero as well as her worst enemy. I just hope\/<\/del> know<\/em> 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 \u2018normal\u2019 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!<\/p>\n

Philosophical<\/h3>\n

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

There’s something magical about Iceland. Nothing can prepare you for the stark beauty of its geography \u2013 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\/<\/del> ‘Towards White’ will<\/em> take you back there with me!<\/p>\n
