A Prestwick author hopes her first novel about her tales from around the globe will fill a gap in the lack of holidays for many this year.
Margaret L Moore, 59, has penned ‘From Sri Lanka with Love: a tapestry of travel tales’, which centres around a trip to the Sri Lanka in 2017 with husband Douglas.
Margaret has jetted across the world visiting many countries including Iceland, America, India, Hong Kong, Norway, Spain, Italy, London, Madeira, South Africa, Canada, Austria and Australia, all of which she uses to create a mosaic of holiday memories in her book.
Margaret said: “It’s great (and a relief!) now to see it published.
“And because of the strange time we are living through, with COVID, it has happened sooner than I expected.
“I had more time to devote to the task than would otherwise have been the case.
“All the re-reading of drafts and proof of the book during episodes of Lockdown have brought back happy holiday memories for me in a time when planned holidays were cancelled or postponed.
“My hope is that readers will feel they are on holiday with me as they read; journeying as we holiday in Sri Lanka and recount tales from around the globe.
“Perhaps filling a gap left by the lack of holidays in this unfamiliar time we are living through. And maybe even allowing some planning of future holidays to take place after reading our experiences!”
