We are absolutely delighted to be welcoming debut local author Jo Morey to Waterstones Horsham to celebrate the release of THE NIGHT LAGOON. Jo will be in conversation with Brighton-based debut author Kerry Downes of THE TIME EVERYTHING WAS ON FIRE. The evening will include a talk drawing on both of the authors process of using personal life experiences to write fiction. There will also be a signing opportunity.
THE NIGHT LAGOON
Wittering Lodge, Stann Creek, Belize
In the dead of night, lying in her father’s jungle lodge, Laelia watches her partner Aid sleeping – her mind racing with everything that’s brought her to this moment.
The heady Caribbean holiday when they first met.
The rum-fueled passion that, day by day, creeps into something darker.
The secrets she discovered in a hidden nook of the lodge, revealing a devastating past.
Above all, she thinks about the impossible decision she must make before dawn.
Does she stay silent and protect their newfound paradise? Or does she confront the lies which run as deep and dark as the lagoon – surfacing a dangerous truth from which there’s no return…
THE TIME EVERYTHING WAS ON FIRE
Sam and Daisy have been best friends since university. Back then Daisy was a wild, Fleetwood Mac-obsessed girl descended from the Yorkshire Moors, while Sam’s youth was misspent traipsing around Liverpool on shopping trips and nights out.
But as they lean against each other on a wooden bench in the tired garden of their beloved local pub, gazing out at Sam’s wedding, they have no idea that their paths are about to truly diverge for the first time.
As Sam’s desire to become a mother consumes her, and Daisy’s inability to resist temptation haunts her, these best of friends will lose sight of themselves – and each other. With each misstep and unintentional betrayal the gulf widens. But can they build a bridge, or will they let it burn?
Books will be available to purchase on the night, but the Waterstones Horsham Team advise you purchase the 'Book & Ticket' option to guarantee a copy.
