Sweet
Home Summer
What’s a
Matchmaker? I’m thinking a really, really
old Irish version of Tinder…
Isla
Brookes was terrified of leading a little life in the small New Zealand town
where she was born and where her gran and mum
were also born and bred. To escape their fate, she breaks it off with her teenage
sweetheart and runs away to London. She’s spent the last ten years climbing the
interior design career ladder and meeting the wrong kind of man until one day
she wakes up and wonders what it’s all been for.
Leaving her latest unsuitable man and job for dust Isla winds up sitting on a beanbag in therapy at a Californian retreat,
where she realises it’s time to go home.
They
breed em tough on New Zealand’s West Coast. A fact Isla’s grandmother, Bridget
prides herself on. Her heart was broken once,
and she won’t let it happen again, but now
ever since her husband passed away, someone’s been sending her Valentine’s Day
cards.
When
the dance hall, the scene for this heartbreak, falls into decline, Bridget
decides the link to her first love must be
restored even if the events of long ago can’t be put right. She’s never heard of dating apps, so in a nod to her
Irish ancestry, she decides to hold a fundraising Matchmaker Festival.
Then
Rohan Sullivan blows into town on a strange wind offering his services as a
bona fide matchmaker; suddenly it’s time
for both women to remedy the mistakes of their past.

About Michelle Vernal
Hello,
my name is Michelle Vernal, and by way of
introduction, I’m Mum to Josh and Daniel and am married to the super supportive Paul. We live in the garden city of Christchurch, New
Zealand with our three-legged, black cat called Blue. BC (before children) Paul
and I lived and worked in Ireland, the experiences we had there have flavoured
my books.
I’ve
always written, but it was only after my
first son was born that I decided to attend a creative writing course at Canterbury University. Oh the guilt dropping him at pre-school so
I could learn the basics of story writing, but oh the joy of having conversation
to contribute other than the price of nappies that week! The first piece
I ever penned post course was published by a New Zealand parenting magazine.
I went on to write humorous; opinion
styled pieces of my take on parenting,
but when the necessity for being politically correct got too much, I set myself the challenge of writing a
novel. Six books later and a publishing deal with Harper Impulse here I am.
These days I write for a lifestyle magazine and my latest book Sweet Home Summer has just been released by Harper
Impulse.
