Living, Loving, Longing Lisbon

Beschreibung

Lisbon is a city of stories. They swirl like the Tagus tide, carrying whispered secrets through winding alleys and slip between the stones of forgotten ruins. In Living, Loving, Longing Lisbon, past and present blur, love and loss entwine, and the city comes alive. A one-night stand leads to a shocking transformation. A chance meeting on a train sparks a romance shadowed by history. A bitter Christmas wish takes an unsettling turn. Ancient gods, fading from memory, gather for a meal, while spies make use of Lisbon's neutrality during World War 2. From café terraces to riverbanks, from grand avenues to quiet miradouros, these stories capture the city's essence-its melancholy, its oddities, its pull on the heart. For those who have ever lived in, loved in, or simply longed for Lisbon, this anthology is an invitation to wander its streets once more.

Autor

I am a travelling author who currently lives in Lisbon, after stints in London, Johannesburg, and Bangkok. My ambition is to publish 100 books. It's a challenge I decided upon after I’d completed my 33rd book. Or I should say, my 33rd first draft. I am currently working at getting all of those first drafts into a publishable state. This is taking considerably longer than I’d anticipated! Especially as I keep getting distracted by ideas for yet more books. I am an introvert and I think that makes me quite sensitive to overstimulation. I find rollercoaster, action-packed blockbusters too stressful to read. This probably influences my writing which reviewers have described as gentle. I might describe what I write as easy reading or slow fiction. They are the kind of books that are perfect to curl up with on the sofa on a rainy day or take to the park to read under a tree. They are feel-good stories where good triumphs over evil and the girl gets the boy with some bumps along the way.
