Surfing on a Cloud

About the Book

On the day Daniel Reed inherited money from his late father’s estate, his long-term girlfriend, Emma, told him she was pregnant with his child. This came as a complete surprise, especially when they’d planned to travel the world together. What came as more of a surprise is that Emma also confessed to having an affair with his best friend. Heartbroken, vulnerable, and confused about his sexuality, Daniel set off to travel the world by himself in an attempt to meet fascinating new people and, perhaps, a new love interest. Surfing is a tale of adventure, love, and exploration. Complex relationships, painful realisations and revelations, a journey of self-discovery. Every emotion is covered within this story, from love and lust, happiness to hatred, despair to sorrow. Surfing creates a web of interesting lives spanning the globe with unexpected surprises. The reader will empathise with Daniel as he travels to beautiful destinations but struggles with emotions that tear him apart. With good looks, money, and charm, meeting the girl of his dreams in Thailand, what could possibly go wrong?

About the Author

I had a happy, loving upbringing in North Wales, where I still live to this day. I never knew what my true vocation in life was. After various unskilled jobs, I decided to follow my dreams at being either a chef or an architect. My creative and constrictive mind led me to study architecture; unfortunately, the university of choice was Brighton, in a glamorous city known for being vibrant, bohemian, creative, liberated, exotic, and cultural. Sadly, my love for Brighton overtook my enthusiasm to study. This left me wishing I’d trained to be the next Jamie Oliver in a less-glamorous city in the north of England. I now work as a long-distance driver, driving for long periods of time help me to imagine and create fascinating characters and stories. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than reading a story or watching a movie that makes me cry with laughter or being moved to tears. After a long, hectic week working away from home, nothing makes me happier than returning home to a sleepy village set in the Welsh mountains to my long-term partner and beautiful black Labrador, Brando. Equal parts erotica and thriller, Surfing on a Cloud is an interesting look at the nature of complex relationships and the ways in which modern people navigate them. -Clarion Review
