Author Fay Keenan releases latest novel based on fictionalised version of Glastonbury
An author has released the latest novel in her Willowbury series, which is based in a fictionalised version of Glastonbury.
Just for the Summer, by Somerset author Fay Keenan, is on sale now and is a romantic novel involving a divorcee and a book shop owner.
When Kate Harris accepts the job of redecorating her brother Aidan's house in the picturesque town of Willowbury, she knows it's just a stop gap before she has to decide what to do with the rest of her life.
While her three sons spend the summer holiday with their father, Kate has an opportunity to prove to herself that there is a new life, after her divorce.
Harry Sinclair is the owner of Vale Volumes book shop on Willowbury High Street. Content, if a little bored with his lot, his shop, as well as his life, could do with freshening up.
When Kate offers to spruce up Vale Volumes ready for the visit of a famous author, they find they have a lot more in common than colour schemes.
But both have secrets and responsibilities, and when the trials of family life threaten their burgeoning friendship, can they overcome the experiences of their pasts?
Will Somerset's most magical town cast its spell on them? Or will Kate and Harry have to concede that their friendship really is just for the summer?
Fay said: "I draw all of my inspiration from the wonderful county of Somerset, and readers will notice a lot of real life locations in my books, including a fictionalised version of Glastonbury as Willowbury itself."
She lives in Winscombe with her husband and two children, and when she's not writing, she's often to be seen on the end of large Weimaraner dog, being dragged across hill and dale in search of her next story idea.
She has led workshops for adults and students on the writing process in conjunction with the University of Bristol and has been a visiting speaker in secondary schools. She has also been a judge of creative writing competitions for local events and organisations.
Just for the Summer is published in paperback, ebook and audio by Boldwood Books.
