More fun than you'll find in any travel brochure!

Castaway in the Caribbean
Vacationing on the beautiful Caribbean island of Antigua, Janey
Sinclair is persuaded by her magazine editor boss to do a quick island hop
in order to supervise an impromptu photo-shoot for the front cover. With no
flights immediately available, Janey is directed to the harbour.
Captain Travis Mathews hates tourists, although he’s not above
making a bit of money off a prissy and sharp tongued young British girl when
she’s desperate to get to the neighbouring island of Tortola.
After striking a deal, they set off together in Travis’s
weather-beaten old boat. When the vessel comes to a sudden full stop in the
sea, the mismatched pair end up as castaways on an uninhabited island.
In this fast moving romantic adventure about a vacation that
turns into a tropical nightmare there’s more fun than you’ll find in any travel
brochure.
A message from Janice:
I was incredibly fortunate to spend most of last summer in the
Caribbean, writing and researching my latest novel Castaway in the Caribbean. I found it challenging only in the
respect of being continually distracted from the manuscript by the tropical
sunshine, the white sand beaches, the warm aquamarine sea, rum cocktails, and
the fabulous social scene on offer. Many of these distractions are well
documented on my website at janicehorton.co.uk and on my blog and Facebook page
too, if you are interested in reading the details and seeing the photos!
For the purposes of proper research for Castaway in the Caribbean, I traveled to and explored many
Caribbean islands and, despite my tendency for sea sickness, I also spent a lot
of time in boats. I even got to sail around Tortola, the larger of the British
Virgin Islands, in a restored schooner that had been used in the filming of the
original Pirates of the
Caribbean movie.
The Virgin Islands inspired me with the modern day setting for
this romantic adventure novel because, of this chain of around ninety small
islands, islets, cays and rocks in the Caribbean Sea, many are uninhabited.
I eventually settled down to write this romantic adventure story
on the Caribbean island of Utila, the smaller of the Bay Islands, just off the
coast of Honduras. Likened to the Key West of long ago, Utila is a quaint,
unspoiled and laid-back little island. Sitting on the largest barrier reef in
the western hemisphere, it is also a paradise for scuba diving, which is
exactly what my husband was doing every day while I was busy writing this
story.
Research is a valuable tool for a writer, so I do hope all the
fun and adventure I had in the Caribbean has found its way into the pages
of Castaway in the
Caribbean.

the above rock formation from the opening scene in the movie?
