Today we catch up with author Claire Highton Stevens to chat about her latest book, pet couture and sandwiches.

1. New book! Exciting! Tell us about it!

It’s about Connie and Jenny who have tried and failed several times to make things work. In an attempt to get over her, Connie books a fancy holiday…only things don’t go quite to plan.

2. What made you get into writing?

Pure chance. I broke a leg and had time on my hands…so, I wrote a story for fun and then kept doing that…roll forward a couple of years and an author friend of mine, Michelle Arnold read one and insisted I publish…16 books later, here I am.

3. Are there any pets in your books, and if so, do they wear outfits?

I don’t often Include pets, but there have been a couple I think…I don’t tend to dress them up…maybe I should add some?

When Connie Drake met Jenny McGregor, it felt as though the universe had conspired to bring them together, that fate was somehow stepping in to finally create the perfect partnership Connie had always wanted because Jenny ticked every one of Connie's boxes. 
Falling head over heels in love, however, didn't go quite to plan.
Jenny's fears for the future, and her past experiences, have left her unable to sustain a long term relationship, and much to Connie's distress, Jenny leaves.
Heartbroken, and encouraged by her best pals, Debs and Ashley, Connie decides that she needs to move on. Moping around isn't helping. What she needs is to get away from it all; take some time out and relax, and the perfect opportunity comes along in the form of a luxury shipwrecked holiday adventure. Ten glorious nights basking in the Bahama sunshine, completely alone, is the perfect Jenny antidote.
Or does the universe have one more trick up its sleeve?

6. If you could share the sandwich with anyone, who would you choose and why?
