Former Central Coast journalist Amber Jakeman will launch her latest romance novel at Kincumber on June 7 as part of the Words on the Waves writers festival.
It will be a free, beachy double launch, with Jakeman’s Midnight Beach to be launched, along with Boomerang Beach by Ella McLaughlin.
The authors will be interviewed at the event by Coast Community News editor Terry Collins, who worked with Jakeman some years ago.
They will dive deep into the dramas of storytelling and there will be a handmade lucky door prize for one lucky attendee.
The second in her latest series of romance novels, following Summer Beach, Jakeman’s Midnight Beach is set in fictional Burradeer Bay on the NSW coast.
When a plan to sail away with her forbidden love goes awry, Nola waits faithfully for Kento’s return.
Decades later, after one too many clashes with Bronte, her high school dropout niece, Nola questions her own life choices, and flees.
A distinguished man arrives, and an antique coral ring links the past with the future.
Will Nola miss her second chance at love?
“I’m so fortunate to have readers in more than 50 countries,” Jakeman said.
Midnight Beach is available in paperback and e-book.
Jakeman is currently working on the third book in the series, Sunset Beach.
McLaughlin’s Boomerang Beach is set in a resort filled with secrets, lies, and double lives.
Capri’s hit the jackpot when she meets her dreamy new neighbour but Flynn is looking for a quieter life with a strict no-woman policy – or maybe not.
The double book launch will take place at 6.30pm (arrive 6pm) on Friday, June 7, at Kincumber Library.
