Beyond the Page - Finding You In Hollywood


 

Finding You in Hollywood

FY in Hollywood is where Caitlin Emore and Jaron Webber can be found - they went through the wringer for love.

I wrote this book many years ago with so many titles - from Coming Home to Hamilton Terrace. They just did not work for me. In the end, I finally settled on Finding You in Hollywood. It had a great feel to how I wanted the book to look and feel. This is my Notting Hill moment. And I love that film.

If you haven’t watched the 1999 movie, it is the life of a simple bookshop owner changes when he meets the most famous film star in the world. It stars Hugh Grant and Julie Roberts. Set in the London’s Notting Hill.

I wanted my story of Caitlin and Jaron set in one of my favourite streets in west London. Westminster is a borough I used to work and live in the area.

I have such fond memories of my time there. I drove down Hamilton Terrace NW8 more days and nights than I care to remember. And I loved every single one of those journeys, especially around December. It's a drive to see the houses light up with Christmas lights, and that house was one of my favourites. At the end of the road was a beautiful house with Christmas lights, and the highlight was the lone Christmas tree, dead and centre in the window – all merry and bright.

A tree to make a wish upon.

To this day, I still drive down Hamilton Terrace in December just to see that Christmas tree.

 

 

Anyway, I wanted a role reversal for Caitlin and Jaron. Away from all the distractions and glitz of Hollywood to the quiet roads of St. Johns Wood.

What happens when the world-famous A-Lister multi-talented superstar, Jaron Webber, meets an “ordinary” girl from London?

For Jaron, it was love at first sight, but for Caitlin, finding Jaron was hard. She fought her feelings for Jaron from the very beginning. Thinking that whatever they had was short-term. So short-term that she lets her fears get the better of her.

Not giving Jaron a chance.

Or the feelings she had for him.

For Jaron, all he wants to do is shower her with all his love for her and show her just how perfect they are together.

They both went through the fire.

Enjoy their journey. Read and see how they come from the other end - Pre-order NOW. Out in March 2023 at book retailers.

Music plays a large part in my life. It hugely influences the moods of the book. Take a listen on Spotify to the soundtrack to Finding You in Hollywood. Enjoy!

The World Series 2025: The Epic Climb of the Los Angeles Dodgers

Image
  The World  Series 2025: The Epic Climb of the Los Angeles Dodgers When a team creates its own legacy, the process is rarely straightforward. In 2025, the Dodgers achieved this with a thrilling 5-4 victory in Game 7 of the World Series, securing back-to-back championships. This made them the first Major League Baseball team to accomplish this feat since the New York Yankees, who did so from 1998 to 2000. A comeback story for the ages The series was not simply handed to the Dodgers. In fact, they entered the finale trailing in multiple aspects. They were behind in the series itself and also trailing in the game. In the ninth inning of Game 7, they found themselves down 4-3 when Miguel Rojas stepped up and hit a home run to tie the game, forcing it into extra innings. Then came a moment that will resonate in Dodger history: with two outs in the 11th inning, Will Smith hit the first-ever extra-innings home run in a winner-take-all World Series game. That swing ultimately secured...
