Secrets at Maple Syrup Farm by Rebecca Raisin

What you want readers to know about the romance genre? They’ve been on the road for six years together, and have been around Australia a number of times! I would love to take the boys out of school for a year and go on a big adventure! One day! Travel around Australia in a campervan for a year! We recently met some ‘grey nomads’, friends of my family who were camped out the front of my mum’s house in the country for a while, and their stories were so amazing. Number one thing to do on your bucket list? I’m reading Lessons from Ducks by Tammy Robinson, it’s absolutely brilliant! We were discussing the town, the real town, as opposed to the fictional one – there was a street in the real Ashford called Pumpkin Lane, or something like that, and then I thought why not write a book that’s connected but not set at the café! The ‘pumpkin’ gave me the idea for creating a farm, so I must thank Graham for our chats, and that leading to writing this book! He’d googled the town of Ashford, Connecticut, where all my books are set. I was talking to a friend who I met online after he’d read the Gingerbread Café series books. It seems everyone has a secret, and the thing with secrets is, they never stay hidden. Both her and Clay come to depend on each other, until an unexpected visitor arrives, upsetting their lives. She winds up at the farm purely by chance and immediately falls in love with the place. Clay’s learns about his reclusive relative by reading some journals he finds hidden at the property. Clay’s running away from his past, and so was his uncle it seemed. My next novel, Secrets at the Maple Syrup Farm is about a guy called Clay who inherits a derelict farm from an uncle he never met. Tell us about Secrets at the Maple Syrup Farm: Eventually, I went back to writing longer pieces, and I now write exclusively for Carina UK! I write mainly romantic comedy which I really enjoy. I tried writing as many different genres as I could and entered short story competitions which was a great learning curve, and taught me to be economical with words.

Originally ,I started as a hobby, and took a few creative writing classes.
