Baby Twins to Bind Them

On the first of each month we will be taking a look back at Carol’s backlist, ‘Baby Twins to Bind Them’ is the first instalment, released in March 2015. For reference, also happening in March 2015;

Richard III is reburied following the exhumation of his body, Kris and Bruce Jenner file for divorce and ‘See You Again’ by Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa is released.

Feels like a lifetime ago doesn’t it….

Like a parent I’m supposed to love all my books equally, and I do of course, but (whisper) Baby Twins to Bind Them might just be up there. My nephew was over from the UK at the time and as I typed my favourite two words “The End” he and my daughter were climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I may have had a glass of champagne :-) Dr Guy Steele breaks a few rules in the suitable hero stakes - I am not going to give any spoilers and tell you why - but I promise you he is a little different while being drop-everything-delicious! Without giving spoilers I shall tell you a little out-take - he has a very deep voice and when he addressed a confused patient with difficulty in hearing, such was his command (swoon) that my heroine, who had only just met him, startled. I wrote something like “Helen Keller would have heard him” but that was taken out. It still makes me laugh though! I can remember speaking to my editor at a conference just after I wrote it and admitting I missed him! While writing it I struggled at the dark moment - Guy deserved to be cross and so I made him be. My editor suggested that it just wasn’t Dr Steele ( the wonders of having a brilliant editor) and so I rewrote the confrontation and fell in love with Guy just a little bit more! He really is my perfect hero and I hope, if you read it, that  you fall in love with him too (and I still miss him and am still looking for him haha) <3 cxxx
