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 Review

“What a great first book, it kept me hooked from the minute I started reading it. It arrived on Monday and I finished it on the tube this evening (Thursday) - and nearly missed my stop!! I was kept gripped to the very last page. If anyone is looking for something easy to read on their holiday, I'd definitely recommend Please Remember.” - Mrs Lynn Hall, London.

Received today the first review for the book, other than my mother’s glowing critique of course, and am pleased it is positive. I am well aware that there may follow some reviews of a negative nature and hope I am prepared for this.

Since launch a reasonable number of books have been sold in the UK, however, there does appear to be a problem outside the UK. Most bookstore websites declare they offer ‘international’ delivery but do not provide a postal service to Greece, and possibly other countries, as yet I have not established why - this does not apply if ordering direct from the publisher. As a result, I am now waiting for a batch of copies to arrive from England to enable me to fulfil orders here in Crete.
