Over Byron Bay (Paperback or Softback)

Melissa Bourne and Andrew Wyatt were neighbours in the country town of Bangalow in Australia. Friends, good friends were all they'd ever been. This situation suited them both until Andrew found someone else. Surprised at her jealousy and with an international job offer in hand, Melissa left the country. She accepted a job offer in Boston, met Jonathan Brinkley, married and settled into life in the U.S..

Five years later she returns to Bangalow for a visit with her father, shortly after the death of Andrew's mother. The two meet briefly at the funeral, and the day before she flies back to Boston providing an opportunity to rekindle their relationship and to recognise that their feelings for each other go beyond friendship. Melissa returns to the States in turmoil.

Over Byron Bay is a story of friendship. A deep friendship that neither Melissa nor Andrew were prepared to risk for love. It's a story of heartbreak and hope. Of two people with extraordinarily bad timing. It's a story or relationships within and between families.
It's a turbulent story of running away and of new beginnings set between Bangalow, Boston, Brisbane and Byron Bay.
A debut novel which will take the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride.

Jane has a deep connection to the Far North Coast of New South Wales in Australia where the novel Over Byron Bay is set. Her great grandparents owned a farm a little way out of Byron Bay and her grandparents a farm at Mullumbimby. She currently lives at Possum Creek - well she would if she was real - rather than being the pen name of someone who would prefer to remain anonymous.
