For many writers, the beginnings of writing a novel are times filled with apprehension, excitement and, narcissists aside, a journey (into the unknown) filled with self doubt, loathing, many calls for resolve, and caffeine. Remove running water, power (yes, that'll be electricity, including light) add a leaking roof, a blocked chimney (frequently swept using tent pole with a pine branch shoved in the end), curious neighbours (noses to the window on occasion), though, the only company on a mountain top location - equals, for anyone acclimatised to modern living, possibly, an added challenge to a writer. However, A Dangling Fish was, eventually, written.
Neve wrote the first 50'000 words in a tent. The entire first draft, over 90'0000 words was written in pencil. The rest of the novel was completed using solar power, a mere 80w panel, a 12 year old laptop, on a mountain top in Spain.
When she's not writing, or fixing things, Neve likes to take photographs, bake biscuits (she says she's almost perfected a recipe, using some of the 20kg mixed bags of almond, walnut, and hazelnuts she's collected, but needs more practice, sampling), and play guitar (she says it's soothing, or cathartic when 'rocking out').
This book costs about the same as a UK pint (the south, airports and posh places excluded) there's a sequel in the making, and there's also something else completely different, which Neve says she can't write from her isolated mountain top location because it will scare the sh*t out of her - it's inspired by the teddy bears and kids shoes she keeps finding, unearthed by wild boar, amongst the adjacent olive groves. So, if you like her style, and want to read more books by Neve Fontaine, please buy this book.
Neve also says, after being single for an embarrassing number of years (ahem), it gets lonely sometimes.
She doesn't 'like' facebook, so you won't find her there, but Neve is on Twitter: @neve_fontaine. You can also visit her website: nevefontaine.co.nf

*Spoiler Alert: If you haven't read A Dangling Fish yet, the next paragraph might be too revealing - go check it out. If you want to read this as a stand-alone book, that's awesome, continue reading...
Gabbi arrives back on the island after her brief return to the UK. Still battling with grief, she puts her best foot forward and starts her new role as a bar manager. Hannah's bar was almost dead on its feet when she left, but the place she returns to is what some claim to be the coolest lesbian bar on the planet, located on a Greek island in a place dubbed 'Girl Town'.
Join Gabbi and the girls as they get more than they can handle over one long scorching summer. Will Gabbi and Hannah finally get it on or are things just not meant to be? Neither are without offers once the news gets out - women are practically throwing themselves at them. More awkward and laugh out loud moments - despite being supposedly older and wiser, some of us don't want to grow up, and others just can't.
