I have shared my guilty pleasures of watching BBC dramas broadcast on PBS in the UK, including THE CORONER set in Devon and Cornwall (link). It is then fate that I recently discovered British author Ruth Saberton who happens to live in and write about Cornwall. From her website,
Although I was born in London I’m now lucky enough to live in Cornwall. It’s a beautiful part of the world and a constant source of inspiration for my writing. The weather is ever changing and it’s the perfect setting for novels.
I have been lucky enough to write for Little Black Dress, Avon, Pan Macmillan and Orion and Harper Collins. I am also published by the brilliant Notting Hill Press. In 2011 I was a runner up in the Romantic Novelists Association’s “Romantic Comedy Novel” of the year award. That was such an exciting experience! I now write full time and I love every minute. This is the most exciting time ever to be an author.
When I’m not writing for I like to ride my horses, meet my friends for a walk or spend time hanging out with my partner. We also have lots of lovely restaurants here in Polperro so I am never short of a place to meet someone for a drink or a meal. I also love to talk to my readers so pop over to my Facebook author page or my Twitter @ruthsaberton or email me at admin@ruthsaberton.com.
Check out these articles about Ruth Saberton in the Daily Mail (link) and Cornwall Live (link).
I am looking forward to reading Ruth's latest novel, THE ISLAND LEGACY:
When Ness Penwellyn unexpectedly inherits a Cornish island she soon meets property developer, Max Reynard. Wealthy and wickedly handsome, Max is accustomed to getting his own way but Ness is unimpressed. Max’s assumption she’ll sell her inheritance to him makes Ness determined to go it alone – even while her bitter relatives plot revenge and circumstances spiral out of control.
Max Reynard is a rich and powerful playboy. Used to having his own way, in business and in love, he’s shocked to meet a woman able to resist his money and good looks. And when he realises he wants Ness more than he wants her property, Max knows he’s in big trouble.
Before long Ness and Max are locked in a battle of wills. And when love’s involved, the rules of engagement are soon broken …

I am giving away a book choice from my convention stash to one randomly selected commenter. To enter the giveaway,
1. Leave a comment about an island - do you have a favorite? Of course, the Hawaiian islands are my favorite ... but I also enjoyed Mont St. Michel - the equivalent of St. Michael's Mount in France. Both are tidal islands - low tide reveals the causeway for tourists to visit them.
2. Comments are open through Sunday, February 19, 10 pm in Baltimore.
3. I'll post the winner on Monday, February 20.
