Their backgrounds could hardly be further apart, their expectations in life more different. And there is nothing in the first meeting between the conference planner and the university lecturer which suggests they should expect or even want to connect again. But they have more in common than they could ever have imagined. Both have unresolved issues from the past which have marked them; both have an archaeological puzzle they want to solve. Their stories intertwine and they discover together that treasure isn’t always what it seems.

Gilli Allan began to write in childhood – a hobby pursued throughout her teenage. Writing was only abandoned when she left home, and real life supplanted the fiction.
After a few false starts she worked longest and most happily as a commercial artist, and only began writing again when she became a mother.
Living in Gloucestershire with her husband Geoff, Gilli is still a keen artist. She draws and paints and has now moved into book illustration.
Currently published by Accent Press, each of her books, TORN, LIFE CLASS and FLY or FALL has won a ‘Chill with a Book’ award.
Following in the family tradition, her son, historian Thomas Williams, is also a writer. His most recent work, published by William Collins, is ‘Viking Britain’.

Cover could have been so much better. I couldn’t get a feel of the genre from this

🙈🙈🙈 I felt bad for the author, she is married to an Indian and that too from my parts of India from where my forefathers come from. Yikes… But it reminded me so much of sperm as I used to draw while studying… 😂 😂 😂 I simply couldn’t resist

Thank you so much for sharing, Jessica. I’m really grateful. I read the above comments with interest. I have had a lot of positive response to this cover. Just goes to show everyone is different. To my mind it accurately reflects the type of book it is – not frothy or fluffy. Each to his own. Gillix

We are a group of weird people, actually I am the weird one. But blogging on a daily basis needs either shots of vodka or moments of frivolity and fun. Life is difficult for all of us, we are going through our own stresses. This is the way we release the stress so that we can get on with our lives.
I am a cover junkie. I get attracted instantly. It is a book lust.

Nahh, no worries. Exactly, to each their own. Not everyone is going to love every cover. Or book for that matter.
And you’re right. If we didnt have fun while blogging daily, what would be the point?

Our conversations are a mixture of past and present. And if I can make my girls laugh and bring a smile to their faces so that their entire day is happy, I consider my day successful.
I love both Nina and Jessica. When I am down, they hold me up. Our life is stringed together not by distance but by our friendship, love, and laughter.
