HI welcome to my blog I am so excited to welcome Melanie Hudson, I was able to do a fun interview and wanted to share it with you and a little bit about the Book The wedding Cake tree so here we go:
1. Where are you currently living and tell us a little bit about yourself?
I’m a free-spirited wanderer who floats above the planet passing peace and light and love around the world … actually, that’s who I would like to be! In reality I’m an ex-forces mother of one who writes books, gardens and enjoys time with friends. I play the piano badly and sing too loudly. I would have liked to have been an opera singer.
2. When did you begin writing?
I began writing when I left forces life in 2010 and moved to Dubai (I don’t live in Dubai anymore).
3. What inspired you to write this book?
The inspiration for the book came from the fact that I knew my son would never comprehend the military woman I used to be – I wouldn’t necessarily want him to.
4. I noticed this is your first book is there something about this book that you enjoyed writing?
Yes, this is my first book. I particularly enjoyed writing Rosamund’s letters and I also loved building up the relationship between Alasdair and Grace.
5. If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
Jane Austen – who else?
6. I love to know what other people are reading I am just wondering what book are you reading now?
I’m reading ‘I Met a Monk’ by Rose Elliot as research for my next book – it’s fantastic but it’s not fiction.
7. I really loved the story with Alasdair and Grace and I love how you drew the reader in, do you have another book in the work?
Yes, my next book is based in North Devon at Woody Bay and is so special to me I don’t want to talk about it too much (I still want to keep it close to my heart) – sorry.
8. Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Yes – discipline. Despite having worked in a military environment for sixteen years I find it difficult to discipline myself to writing every day.
9. Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
To my readers I simply want to say a genuine and heart-felt thank you and I hope I can provide pleasure and happy reading through my work.

Can a mother’s secret past provide the answers for a daughter’s future?
Celebrity photographer Grace Buchanan has always known that one day, she’d swap her manic day job for the peace and quiet of her beloved childhood cottage, St Christopher’s – she just didn’t expect it to be so soon.
At the reading of her mother’s will, she’s shocked to learn that she hardly knew Rosamund at all, and that inheriting St Christopher’s hangs on one big – and very inconvenient – condition: Grace must drop everything for two weeks and travel the country with a mysterious stranger – war-weary Royal Marine, Alasdair Finn.
Caught in a brief but perfect moment in time, Grace and Alasdair walk in Rosamund’s footsteps and read her letters at each breathtaking new place. As Grace slowly uncovers the truth about her mother’s incredible life story, Alasdair and Grace can’t help but question their own futures. Will Rosamund’s madcap scheme go to plan or will events take an unexpected turn?
An emotional, fun-filled and adventurous journey of a lifetime.
