The countdown to release day begins!
Only one week left!
Inspiration for the book was easy to come by. You know those tropical wall calendars you see in the stores every year? Well, this iconic photo of a palm tree stretching over the water is exactly where I picture Avery and Colton stranded on the island...
I think it's somewhere in the Cook Islands. Wherever it is, it's absolutely gorgeous and I buy one of those calendars every year to remind me that paradise does indeed exist on earth.
As I've mentioned before, I draw a lot of inspiration for my books from music. Besides listening to a playlist of ocean waves, I listened to Agnes Obel while writing Island Ice and even mentioned the song Smoke & Mirrors in the book. If you've never heard Agnes' beautiful music before, I encourage you to have a listen...
I hope you enjoy reading Island Ice as much as I enjoyed writing it!
