Somewhere on Maui, contemporary fiction romance, is here!
“Hearfelt, rich, inspiring–Neal's fans will instantly fall in love with the cast of Somewhere on Maui!”–Christine Nolfi, author of award-winning Treasure Me
My first contemporary fiction romance!
“I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down even though I have a pile of tests to correct and grades due in three days. It's a far cry from your crime thrillers, but it's full of its own kind of suspense.” Don Williams
“I read it standing on the train, ready for anything. Romance has a whole different set of rules and expectations. You want, at the end, for your heart to be pounding a little. You want to feel like you just ate… a salted chocolate. Rich, sweet, but not cloying. Toby nailed it. I laughed, I cried, I ended up satisfied.” Wendy Reinig
Yeah, I had to go genre hopping, and this is the result. I'm so excited to see if readers like it!
Book Description:
Sometimes only an accidental matchmaker can make lighting strike the people who need it most.
Zoe moves to Maui to live her dream of being an independent journalist walking the beaches of paradise every day—but she never expected to be doing it with just her dog Sylvester. Divorced and heartbroken, and she ends up in therapy.
Adam’s born and bred on Maui, a true “local” who surfs to stay in shape and deal with his many sources of stress: care of his mother, a busy contracting business, and a custody fight for his beloved stepkids. A workplace confrontation sends him to anger management counseling.
They happen to share a therapist who gives them the same advice: try Internet dating. And though their Crazy Blind Date match-up ignites sparks neither have felt since high school, finding love is complicated by car wrecks, heart attacks, dot.com millionaires, misunderstandings and fresh grief. Can Adam and Zoe find a way to live a deeper dream on Maui?
Debuting at 3.99, Somewhere on Maui is going to be available on all platforms (B &N, Kobo, Sony, iBookstore, etc) in the next weeks. Look for it wherever quality ebooks are sold, and let me know what you think!
Oh, Toby! Just finished reading and it was so enjoyable! Your books have such a wonderful pace…I can’t stop reading them until I’m done! This story felt very personal to me as I, too, ventured into online dating after my divorce. Everything you said about it rang very true, from what it’s really like to put yourself put there, naked really, to learning about who you are and what you want, to the anticipation of getting checked out and, yes, the emails, haha! And also the feelings of meeting strangers…..wow! it just brought it all back! I’m happily married now, albeit not to an online connection, but I loved how you wrote about their love as that was just how it was for me, too!
