THE DAY OF THE SWANS


THE DAY OF THE SWANS
I sent off the final proofs of my psychological thriller on Friday and I’m now looking forward to it being published next month. I hope you like the cover. I think it’s stunning.






At the heart of the novel lies an intriguing question:  if memories give us our identity what happens if someone gives us new ones and makes us believe them?

“The Day Of The Swans”  explores this question through the intriguing and erotic relationship between Stefan, a charismatic stalker and Anna, his beautiful therapist.

Stefan is an artist who paints an incredible painting called The Day Of The Swans which stops time. It’s the painting of two laughing children walking along a stunningly beautiful beach twenty one years ago. ‘It’s you and me, Anna.’ Stefan tells her. ‘It’s taken me twenty one years to find you. You’re my sister.’

At first Anna thinks she’s dealing with a highly delusional man, but gradually, her stable world is thrown into chaos as Stefan convinces her that he is really her brother and everything in which she’s believed is based on lies. 

But is Stefan telling her truth? And if he’s not, why is he inventing a shared past? That’s what frightens Anna’s family when she disappears. What will he do to her?

I hope you want to buy the book to discover the answer.  I think you'll be surprised!

  1. Excellent cover, sounds intriguing; looking forward to it. Hope the novel is a smashing success. I’ve always found swans enigmatic birds - capable of serenity and beauty but there’s always an undercurrent of aggression - or maybe they just don't like me! It's a great title.
