Water and Fire – For Adults Only

Water and Fire – For Adults Only

Water and Fire ad

In October 2012, I wrote a short story called Water and Fire. Short and sweet, some of my fans and followers asked me about some of the gaps in the story – will I ever fill them, with the “adults-only” content that I couldn't write into a PG-rated short story?

Today, the answer is yes.

I am currently working with Water and Fire, and its main characters, Belinda and Aidan, to turn a short story into a novella. No longer PG, this will be the full story of what happened between a student midwife and an Irish intern, amid dangerous local wildlife and the seductive local whiskey.

In its raw stages of writing, I can only give you a taster – the cover, as posted above, along with the original PG short story on Wattpad.

About the Author

USA Today bestselling author Demelza Carlton has always loved the ocean, but on her first snorkelling trip she found she was afraid of fish.
She has since swum with sea lions, sharks and sea cucumbers and stood on spray-drenched cliffs over a seething sea as a seven-metre cyclonic swell surged in, shattering a shipwreck below.
Sensationalist spin? No - Demelza tends to take a camera with her so she can capture and share the moment later; shipwrecks, sharks and all.
Demelza now lives in Perth, Western Australia, the shark attack capital of the world.
