Behind the Book
I've always had a thing about castles (as you might notice if you look at my nonfiction books). Our family holidays always involve at least one trip to a castle. When we went to Arundel Castle in July 2009, we were lucky enough to go on a re-enactment day, where they had jousting... and a lightbulb went off in my head!
The book is set in Sussex, but Amberhurst Castle is completely fictional.
So where's the medical, you're asking? Well... my jousting knight is also an emergency doctor. When his brother is seriously injured, Dominic gives up jousting - but gets his passion back (and loses his heart) when he meets nurse practitioner Louisa and her son Tyler.
Louisa's son has Asperger's. Children with the syndrome can be challenging, but can also be absolutely wonderful (yes, am speaking from personal experience - though Tyler isn't quite like my son, and I'm the one in the house with the passion for castles/medieval history).
I also discovered Muse's version of "Can't take my eyes off you", and that was definitely the song of the book!
Oh, yes. Dogs. There might be a spaniel in there... but watch out for the really unusual, cough, animal. And the reindeer. Two medical authors were Very Bad Influences and told me stories that set off lightbulbs (Maggie Kingsley and Margaret McDonagh, take a bow). I couldn't resist, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
