I like the idea of Europe. Yes, that might sound pretentious, but
it’s just so full of beautiful and interesting things. I live on Cape York in
Queensland. That’s about the same size as Michigan or the UK, but we only have
~20,000 people. From here to the nearest supermarket is about 150 miles. (We do
have a mini-market in the village, an absolute gold mine for the chain that
owns it because there is no competition...)
We drive past miles and miles of nothing to
get to Cairns, our nearest real town. When we go to Europe on holiday, how many
villages, people, cities, international borders would we have passed in the
same distance?
Hidden away in the corners of the
countryside are places where people have been living for thousands of years.
They walk past a thousand year old cathedral every day on the way to work, and
they don’t even notice! They have art galleries everywhere. They have lots of cafés that really, really want you
to sit down over a coffee and cognac to discuss the world, art, politics...
Ok, so I’m being romantic, but Europe does romance too! Sophisticated
food, and romance to go with it? Just hold me back! I swear, if only they had
coconut palms like my garden, I would live in a garret and eat dried bread just
for the fun of living there.
Europe
in Love is just me putting some of my passions down
on paper, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed the writing. It
is a mix of ancient and modern, fact and fantasy, and you can read an excerpt here.
Better still, click this Christmas Present to

and Another Sexy Year and that will be a lot of fun!
Jacqueline lives in Far North
Queensland, on the shore of the Coral Sea. She keeps herself busy with her cats
and garden, and by writing books - some of which are far too naughty for her
own good. You can find out more about Jacqueline and her books at www.jacquelinegeorgewriter.com
