Castaway in the Caribbean
Vacationing
on the beautiful Caribbean island of Antigua, Janey Sinclair is persuaded by her
magazine editor boss to do a quick island hop in order to supervise an
impromptu photo-shoot for the front cover. With no flights immediately
available, Janey is directed to the harbour.
Captain Travis Mathews hates tourists,
although he’s not above making a bit of money off a prissy and sharp tongued
young British girl when she’s desperate to get to the neighbouring island of
Tortola.
After striking a deal, they set off
together in Travis’s weather-beaten old boat. When the vessel comes to a sudden
full stop in the sea, the mismatched pair end up as castaways on an uninhabited
island.
In this fast moving romantic adventure
about a vacation that turns into a tropical nightmare there’s more fun than
you’ll find in any travel brochure.
A message from Janice:
I was incredibly fortunate to spend most of last
summer in the Caribbean, writing and researching my latest novel Castaway in the Caribbean. I found it
challenging only in the respect of being continually distracted from the
manuscript by the tropical sunshine, the white sand beaches, the warm
aquamarine sea, rum cocktails, and the fabulous social scene on offer. Many of
these distractions are well documented on my website, blog and Facebook page,
if you are interested in reading the details and seeing the photos!
For the purposes of proper research for Castaway in the Caribbean, I travelled
to and explored many Caribbean islands and, despite my tendency for sea
sickness, I also spent a lot of time in boats. I even got to sail around
Tortola, the larger of the British Virgin Islands, in a restored schooner that
had been used in the filming of the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
The Virgin Islands inspired me with the modern day setting
for this romantic adventure novel because, of this chain of around ninety small
islands, islets, cays and rocks in the Caribbean Sea, many are uninhabited.
I eventually settled down to write this romantic
adventure story on the Caribbean island of Utila, the smaller of the Bay
Islands, just off the coast of Honduras. Likened to the Key West of long ago,
Utila is a quaint, unspoilt and laid-back little island. Sitting on the largest
barrier reef in the western hemisphere, it is also a paradise for scuba diving,
which is exactly what my husband was doing every day while I was busy writing
this story.
Research is a valuable tool for a writer, so I do hope
all the fun and adventure I had in the Caribbean has found its way into the
pages of Castaway in the Caribbean.
