Exciting News!
Georgina has joined the Hawkeye Publishing group of authors!
Two of Georgina’s historical fiction books are based on her ancestral home of Kastellorizo, Greece. A tiny island of six kms long and three kms wide, it has a rich cultural history.
While she tried her hand originally at contemporary writing, her first manuscript was set in Italy featuring an Italian inheritance, a ruby, and magpies, with a touch of romance.
Her second manuscript was set in Sydney, Australia through to Paris in the 1920s.
Yet, the pull of her ancestral home and the insistent push from the book’s characters was too much for her to ignore!

Two healers. Two worlds.
One island that will test them both.
On the remote Greek island of Kastellorizo in the 1850s, tradition runs as deep as the weeds that cling to its rugged cliffs.
Evdokia Deliyos has been raised on ancient knowledge – healing remedies, ancestral wisdom, and the guidance of her formidable grandmother. But when an ailing stranger arrives – a Scottish-trained physician – the islanders believe salvation has come at last.
What they do not expect is Robert’s unwavering faith in modern medicine – and his dismissal of everything Evdokia holds true.
Forced into an uneasy partnership, they face scrutiny from local authorities and a watchful community eager to see the Deliyos family undone.
Caught between tradition and progress, Evdokia and Robert must decide what it truly means to heal and trust each other... before the cost of being right becomes too great.

Stay tuned for the prequel (Book 2) set on Kastellorizo, in the 1770s:
The Formidable Greek Matriarch
Young and feisty Maria Deliyos must give up her selfish ways after being promised to a family, not of her choice.
The Thriae won’t protect her, but who will?
As she grows older, the secret she holds dear to her heart, could be her undoing.
