AE Albert: What is your newest novel about?
AW: The Love That Remains is a story about lost love. It delves
into the lives of two characters from the age of eight to about thirty, whose
lives are drawn together and apart several times, testing fate.
AE Albert: What is unique about this story?
AW: I really enjoyed writing this book. The story touches on
different life struggles that young men and women might encounter while growing
into adulthood. Some issues are graphic and unfortunate, while others test the
boundaries of human kindness, sacrifice, and love.
AE Albert: Can we expect another love triangle, like in your first
romantic novel Hooked?
AW: Not quite. There is more than one person who woos Holly, our
main character, but it comes at different times in the story. The Love That
Remains takes quite a different path on romance than Hooked. With Hooked being
more graphic and fantastical, this new novel is more relative and grounded, but
touches on tangible topics throughout its plot.
AE Albert:What was your favourite scene to write in The Love That Remains?
AW: I actually have a couple of scenes that I enjoyed putting on
paper. The opening scene takes the reader onto a battlefield, where the
prologue sets the tone for part of the story. The other scene I really enjoyed
writing was later in the book. All I'm going to say about it is that those of
my readers who have a deep understanding of the emotion in love, will fall hard
for this wonderfully intimate scene; which in my opinion, can be more powerful
than a physical sex scene. Plus, the story will take you in a different
direction than your average HEA romance!
AE Albert: When can we expect your new novel out?
AW: I'm nearly finished proofing it, but The Love That Remains
will be officially released in paperback and ebook format before the end of
June.
