The Fastro Connection by Moosey* Buy on Amazon and Createspace When Eva took out a three-month holiday visa to Australia, she didn't imagine the intrigue and bloodshed from her home would follow her: that it would be waiting on the sunny southern shores. When Andy took a job as a scenery designer for a local theatre company in Sydney, he didn't think it would lead to love, loss, abduction and the discovery of a past he never knew he had. Echoes from dead centuries reach out across the globe, lifting secrets from the dark. A remote Italian village holds the key to buried and fresh wrongs, all of which must be righted.

It tells the story of Maria Orsini, the daughter of a bourgeois family in a Corsican village. A new schoolmaster comes to the village and they carry on a secret romance, but Maria’s family has other ideas for her future. She becomes a volunteer nurse during World War I and the novel follows her fortunes through the war and beyond. The House at Zaronza was judged in the top four in the Flash 500 Novel Opening Competition in 2013 and is published by Crooked Cat Publishing. Available in paperback and e-book editions from Amazon. 42 | S e p t e m b e r 2 0 1 5
