Being a musician, I’ve always had a soft spot for stories that include music or musicians, which is one of the reasons why my sale ebook this month was a no brainer to write.
I was a music teacher for ten years so I had those experiences to inspire Joel’s story. I went through some of the music I’d played solo, and with different orchestras and incorporated those into his playlist.
I also think that music conveys emotion in a unique way, so when paired with words in a story, or lyrics, is capable of touching the reader – and the writer.
Like all stories, even those set locally need researching, but in this case, it was much more fun than using books and going online. I went to the beach to check out the ice cream shop, and wandered around the river bank looking for the perfect tree for Joel’s special place that he finally shares with Marcus.

Prelude to Love
Music speaks directly to the heart.
Joel is a music teacher who knows it’s time to forget his ex and move on, while Marcus runs a lawn-mowing business and has come to Wellington to escape the reminders of a recent breakup. Although they’re opposites, when Joel and Marcus connect, their romance has the potential to hit all the right notes.
Too bad neither of them feels ready for new love.
With family and friends in common, dating is risky and things could get messy if it doesn’t work out. When the sweet song of possibility draws them towards romance, a Chopin prelude ends in a seductive kiss. But it will take some practice and perseverance to find their perfect harmony…
Author’s note: This is the second edition of Prelude to Love. The first edition was released by another publishing house. This edition has some added content, and has been revised and re-edited with the end result being a better, stronger story. It uses New Zealand spelling to reflect its setting.
Until next time!
