More About the Author

Even though I'm an Aries (the fire sign), I think of myself as a water baby. I can't resist the ocean; it sings to me. Every day, I spend at least a few moments watching the water, and on good ' or very bad ' days, you can find me walking the Seawall for hours, rain or shine.

I've worked as a legal assistant, a commercial fisher, a brewery manager, a teacher, a technical writer, and a herring popper, while managing to read an average of a book a day. Go ahead ' ask me anything. If I don't know the answer, I'm more than happy to make it up because I've been reading and writing fiction for as long as I can remember.

I blame my mother and my two grandmothers for my reading and writing obsession ' all of them were avid readers and they passed the books and the obsession on to me. And I read everything, from fantasy to mysteries to literary fiction to romance. I devour books.

I write the same way ' with passion. It's part of my day, every day. I love writing, the process and the product, and am astonished and delighted that 20 years on, I'm finally getting paid for it.

This review is from: Last Night At The Halfmoon (Harlequin Next) (Mass Market Paperback)

North of Vancouver on the Sunshine Coast, Aimee King thinks her life is perfect. Her eleven years old son Hayden is a nice adjusted boy. Her parents are terrific always there for her and Hayden. In fact being the sandwich generation is quite nice. Her business is booming and finally, even her ex husband Brad Mackey has been good about supporting her and Hayden though he has always been the wanderer.

However, she is a bit sad by the news that the Halfmoon Drive-In is closing as many of her major events in her life occurred there. Along with her favorite spot shutting down, her son starts to misbehave, her father acts strange as if he is hiding something from her, and now Brad, whom she still loves, says he is coming to the Sunshine Coast to spend the summer allegedly with Hayden. How could a perfect life fall part so quickly she laments because she knows she still loves the three men in her life?

This is a fascinating ingenious character study that uses the Halfmoon Drive-In as a focal point of the highlight films of Aimee's life. The references to movies she seen there that she relates to events is fun to follow (and will have readers do similar analogies) while also reminiscent of Albert Brooks movie "Defending Your Life". LAST NIGHT AT THE HALFMOON is an intelligent well written family drama that will have the audience clamoring for a happy Hollywood ending for the lead protagonist and for her favorite movie spot.
