Please Remember by A R Drew


A Greek holiday with friends turns out to be far more than expected.
The mutual attraction between Anna and Nikos blossoms into love, but will it turn out to be just a fleeting holiday romance?
Anna returns to Crete and, throwing all caution to the wind, the lovesick couple make plans to be together.
After meeting Suela - not a friendly encounter - strange and disturbing occurrences follow.
Does Suela have her own agenda for Nikos? Is Anna and Nikos’s love strong enough to overcome any threat?
The reader is caught up in this tangled web of emotions and intrigue until all is revealed…
For many years A R Drew lived in Norfolk, England. In the late 1990's she holidayed for the first time in Crete, the southernmost and largest of the Greek Islands. Like many before she instantly fell in love with Crete, it's culture and people. In 2004 she packed her bags, purchased a one-way ticket and settled on the northwest coast of Crete in the Chania region. During her time in Crete, both as a tourist and resident, she has observed a number of romances between islanders and holidaymakers. Some have been brief encounters, others have stood the test of time, flourished and, in a few cases, resulted in marriage. These casual observations provided the inspiration for this debut novel.

First Copy

Today I received the first copy of my book! It was a very strange feeling holding the book for the very first time, a feeling which is beyond description and no doubt only understood by other authors - I still have difficulty in believing I've reached this stage and am technically an author!

The title of the book, Please Remember, comes essentially from a song, Please Remember Me - written by Tim McGraw - however, in the novel it is taken from the wonderful Aaron Neville version, a duet with Linda Rondstadt. Now, believe this or not, as the postman arrived with my first copy I was listening to an Aaron Neville CD and the track playing was Please Remember Me. I can only hope this is a good omen and, if not, will make the moment more memorable for me at least.

As it is Friday today, and I have a busy weekend scheduled, the tough task of promotion will commence on Monday by which time, hopefully, I will have both feet back firmly on the ground.
