More fun than you\u2019ll find in any travel brochure\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Vacationing on the beautiful Caribbean island of Antigua, Janey Sinclair is persuaded\u00a0by her magazine editor boss to do a quick island hop in order to supervise an impromptu photo-shoot for the front cover. With no flights immediately available, Janey is directed to the harbour.<\/em><\/p>\n Captain Travis Mathews hates tourists, although he\u2019s not above making a bit of money off a prissy and sharp tongued young British girl when she\u2019s desperate to get to the neighbouring island of Tortola.<\/em><\/p>\n After striking a deal, they set off together in Travis\u2019s weather-beaten old boat. When the vessel comes to a sudden full stop in the sea, the mismatched pair end up as castaways on an uninhabited island.<\/em><\/p>\n In this fast moving romantic adventure about a vacation that turns into a tropical nightmare there\u2019s more fun than you\u2019ll find in any travel brochure.<\/em><\/p>\n A message from Janice:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n I was incredibly fortunate to spend most of last summer in the Caribbean, writing and researching my latest novel\u00a0Castaway in the Caribbean<\/em>. The Virgin Islands inspired me with the modern day setting for this romantic adventure novel because, of this chain of around ninety small islands, islets, cays and rocks in the Caribbean Sea, many are uninhabited. For proper research I got to sail around Tortola, the larger of the British Virgin Islands, in a restored schooner that had been used in the filming of the original\u00a0Pirates of the Caribbean<\/em>\u00a0movie. To better write my story and to develop my plot, I explored many other Caribbean islands, tropical jungles, and cave systems.<\/p>\n You may be interested to know that in one of the pivotal scenes my heroine, Janey, has to climb up a tall and rather perilous waterfall. A couple of chapters later, she then has to get down that same waterfall and to do so she has no choice but to throw herself from the top and into the raging flow of water by way of a series of naturally formed \u2018flumes\u2019 in the rock. I described the scene – and the sheer terror of my poor heroines\u2019 experience, through her point of view and that description comes from personal experience! When I was on the tropical rainforest Caribbean island of Dominican Republic, where they filmed the Jurassic Park <\/em>movie, I did indeed climb up and jump from several tall waterfalls – although unlike my heroine I was wearing a life vest and a helmet to protect my head!<\/p>\n Many of my other experiences while researching in the Caribbean are well documented on my website at janicehorton.co.uk<\/a> and on my blog and Facebook page too, if you are interested in reading the details and seeing the photos!<\/p>\n I eventually settled down to write this romantic adventure story on the Caribbean island of Utila, the smaller of the Bay Islands, just off the coast of Honduras. Likened to the Key West of long ago, Utila is a quaint, unspoiled and laid-back little island. Sitting on the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere, it is also a paradise for scuba diving, which is exactly what my husband was doing every day while I was busy writing this story.<\/p>\n Research is a valuable tool for a writer, so I do hope all the fun and adventure I had in the Caribbean has found its way into the pages of\u00a0Castaway in the Caribbean.<\/em><\/p>\n Love Janice xx<\/em><\/p>\n Janice Horton<\/strong> writes contemporary romantic fiction with a dash of humour and a sense of adventure.
