I have today given my first television interview! Kydon TV, a Cretan television company, contacted me some time ago and asked for a copy of the book and subsequently, after one of their presenters read the novel, arranged today's interview.
I was, to say the least, nervous but fortunately the presenter, an English woman living here in Crete with her husband and son, did all she could to put me at ease. All went reasonably well when I was able to forget the camera, but as soon as I spotted it I felt myself going into panic mode. I guess this is quite natural and I do marvel at people who are, or appear to be, perfectly relaxed in front of the camera.
The tape will now be edited ready for airing in around two weeks time, maybe sooner. The interview will be featured in an English language programme (with Greek sub-titles) produced by Kydon TV - 'Crete News & Life', which is shown each day except Sundays and repeated the following morning. I'm not entirely sure if I will enjoy seeing myself on the television but it's too late to back out now.
Up-date 18.09.2007: I have just been notified that the interview is to be screened tomorrow night, Wednesday 19th September!!
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…
- A R Drew
- 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.
