Who is Janey Travis….?

Now that we are back here on the island for the summer, I’m focussing with renewed vigour on my writing career. I've decided that in future I will be publishing my books under two separate genres of the romantic fiction umbrella .

To Explain: I’m going to continue to write Romantic Adventure fiction under my own name of Janice Horton and I'll also be writing Romantic Comedy fiction under the pen name of Janey Travis.

Right now, as Janice Horton, I’m busy working on a brand new romantic adventure novel entitled Island in the Sun, which will be released later in 2016.

I’m also re-releasing, re-branding and re-packaging my existing books How Do You Voodoo? Voodoo Wedding and Voodoo Child and bringing them together under one new romantic comedy title of I Need A Doctor using a pen name of Janey Travis.

Right now, all my Janice Horton titles will all remain exclusive to Amazon worldwide in eBook format to buy at £1.99 or $3.00 or to download free under their Kindle Unlimited and Select programmes. Paperbacks are also available for all titles for those who prefer a real book reading experience.

But I Need a Doctor by Janey Travis will be published in all ebook formats and will be available worldwide not only from Amazon but from Kobo and with Apple for iBooks and with dozens of other premium distribution outlets. Paperback format is also available.

I Need a Doctor will be officially published and available for instant ebook download from 15th July 2016.

So who is Janey Travis? She is me!

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.
