For Give It Up For The Weekend, my dear friend Iris is giving us ideas for what to do (and where to go) when all this mess is over and done. By the way, Iris has a Book Fair going on on her blog. I posted about it a few days back and it should be on still. Have you checked it (Iris’ Fair) ?

Iris Blobel was born and raised in Germany and only immigrated to Australia in the late 1990s. Having had the travel bug most of her life, Iris spent quite some time living in Scotland, London, as well as Canada where she met her husband. Her love for putting her stories onto paper only emerged a few years back, but now her laptop is a constant companion.
Iris resides west of Melbourne with her husband and her beautiful two daughters as well as their dog. Next to her job at a private school, she also presents a German Program at the local Community Radio.

Thank you Vivi for having me on your blog.

Along with the theme for weekends, I had no hesitation to choose to recommend a place. There are so many locations, beautiful locations, in this world. I like travelling, this is where I get most of my ideas for my books. And, yes, most of my books are based on my holidays. Years ago I went on a 10 day trip to Alaska and the place fascinated me, so much so that I wanted to include it into one of my stories, but never had enough information for a whole book. I did manage, though, to squeeze it into my latest release. I hope I did it justice. Alaska is magical, intriguing, and has a unique wilderness. And the northern lights … no words can describe them.

On the opposite side of the world is New Zealand. Another place I would recommend without hesitation. Diverse, different, unspoilt, unique … all words I’d use to describe this beautiful country.

Which place would you recommend?

Please, share this post!

Iris is bringing with her her latest release, the second book in her Alinta Bay Series.

Tell it to my Heart (Alinta Bay Book 2) by Iris Blobel released a couple of weeks back in the contemporary romance genre.

Confronted with the choice to care for his friend’s family on the other side of the world or to return to Alinta Bay to be with his own newfound family, how will Noah choose?

Following the death of his grandmother, Noah Fielding returns to Alinta Bay and the first thing — or person — he finds is the next-door neighbour in his nan’s bathroom — naked no less. Still jetlagged, he doesn’t hit it off with Molly at first. Yet, over the next few weeks, as his past uncovers itself bit by bit, she becomes is anchor, his friend, and his lover.

Molly Reid had the world at her feet, happily married with a young son … until a tragic car accident took everything away from her. With her heart broken, she moves to Alinta Bay to escape the memories of the past. Her peaceful existence, however, is interrupted after a heavy storm floods her house and she temporarily moves into her recently deceased neighbour’s house next door.

When Noah’s friend and partner goes missing during a routine flight, Noah returns to Alaska to help, but will he come back for Molly?
