The Grotto's Secret: A Historical Conspiracy Mystery Thriller (37 page)

About The Author

Moving to Spain allowed Paula to fulfil her lifelong dream to write novels. During the hunt for their new home in rural Andalusia, Paula and her husband found a beautiful home with stunning views down the Valle del Guadalhorce to Malaga and Marbella.

Apart from a white-washed village in the far distance, the valley is lush with green wheat fields and rolling hills, shadowed by layer after layer of mountains.

Paula’s first sight of the Guadalhorce Valley took her breath away and gave birth to the fictional location of
The Grotto’s Secret.
 

Paula received an ‘Honourable Mention’ in the 75
th
Annual Writers Digest Writing Competition for two unpublished novels, which inspired her to continue writing.

Paula and her husband Ken starred in the BBC Show,
Escape to the Continent
, which showed their quest to live in Spain.

When Paula is not writing, she will be pottering in her garden, walking her Springer Spaniel along the country tracks around her home or exploring caves and ruins in Andalusia.
