Debut novel spans five thousand miles

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - April 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Redwood City, Calif. – Debut author Pauline Wiles announces the upcoming Amazon.com release of her novel, Saving Saffron Sweeting, on April 19, 2013.

Wiles, who lives in Redwood City, set the book partly in the Bay Area and partly in her native England. Saving Saffron Sweeting has reached the quarter-finals of the 2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest.

“I love living in California, but miss England's history, teashops and quirkiness,” Wiles said. “Basing a novel there, featuring both American and British characters, was natural territory for me.”

Saving Saffron Sweeting follows British designer Grace Palmer who flees from California home to England after she discovers her husband is cheating with her best client. The tranquil village of Saffron Sweeting appears to be a good place to lick her wounds, but running away is never as simple as it seems. Sure to appeal to Anglophiles and any woman who has ever been tempted to escape her problems, this light-hearted contemporary romance features warm humor and plenty of British tea and cake.

Early readers say:
“This is a lovely, real, heart-warming novel written with pure talent.”
“A very promising first book.”
“I read the whole thing in one sitting. I loved it!”
