The art of romance with Holly Miller and Joanna Glen.

Most love stories aren't straight-forward, but how do you write realistic romance?

Join bestselling authors Holly Miller and Joanna Glen as they delve into the ever-evolving landscape of love in the 21st century. They’ll be discussing their must-read new novels, The Spark and Maybe, Perhaps, Possibly, and shedding light on why we all can’t get enough of happily ever afters - even if they're not the ones we're expecting.

Holly and Joanna will explore the appeal of the modern romance, and describe how they capture grief and love on the page, transforming loss to hope.

About The Spark

Childhood sweethearts Neve and Jamie are inseparable from the moment they meet. Everyone knows they'll be together forever - that is, until tragedy strikes, and Jamie is torn from Neve's life. 

One street away, Ash is hit by lightning. As he recovers, family members notice a drastic change in Ash, almost as though he is a different person. 

Years later, chance brings Neve and Ash together- and she is struck by his familiarity. He shares so many traits with Jamie, as if their souls are entwined. 

Neve must ask herself whether she can love for a second time in the face of her grief. Is she ready for what life has to offer? And can lightning really strike twice? 

Clever, poignant and very special.

About Maybe, Perhaps, Possibly

On the tiny island of Rokesby, Addie helps her mother run a women's retreat. Dreaming daily of escape, she consoles herself by swimming in the ocean that surrounds them. 

On the neighbouring island, joined to Rokesby by a bridge at low tide, Sol has sought refuge at a wind-swept prayer house, grieving both his mother’s death and his father’s devastating betrayal. Alone and anxious, he takes comfort in birdwatching, books and the sounds of the sea. 

Introverts with turbulent pasts and wary hearts, Sol and Addie are both drawn to nature far more than to people – until they catch sight of one another in the wild. Can they break free from past lessons in love to risk a better future together? 

Fabulous, relaxing, page-turning, dream-inspiring.
