Author Interview-Isla Grey
What inspired you to
become a writer?
You know, I don’t remember a particular event. I remember writing as a young girl so I guess
it’s always been in my blood. Of course,
when I was smaller, it was mainly writing some pretty bad poems for my
grandmother.
Who are your favorite romance characters (besides your own?)
I love old school romance.
Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester from “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte come to
mind as well as the main character from “Rebecca” by Daphne Du Maurier. Oh, there’s also Allie and Duke from “The
Notebook” by Nicholas Sparks.
Tell me what inspired
this story.
The idea for Asylum Harbor came from a family vacation to
the beach where we visited Shell Island.
Yes, this place actually exists but no one lives there. Vacationers like to visit during low tide to
grab seashells and sand dollars.
What is one of your
favorite romantic locales?
The beach is one of my favorites. Definitely Williamsburg, VA—the colonial
section. I love walking Duke of
Gloucester during sunset. (Any later and
you pass the ghost tours!)
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
I hope everyone enjoys reading about Devon, Kerr and Shell
Island!
Trouble is the last thing Devon Brown needs when she
leaves the painful memories of her past behind and heads to Shell Island. As the Salty Dog’s new bartender, she finds
herself drawn to Kerr, the Shell Island harbormaster. But finding her happily-ever-after is
difficult when dealing with an obnoxious bootlegger who supplies the bar with
illegal liquor and a jealous coworker.
A standoffish loner with damaged emotions, Kerr
avoids relationships like the plague.
Things change when Devon catches his eye. When a simple flirtation grows serious, the
coworker and bootlegger quickly become obstacles to any future Kerr and Devon
may have together. As the situation
worsens, Devon realizes that even the still waters of Asylum Harbor are no
refuge during a storm.
