Being taken on by a high profile literary agency should have been the start of Hazel Gaynor’s career, but unfortunately they couldn’t place her Titanic novel The Girl Who Came Home. With the Titanic anniversary rapidly approaching, Hazel decided to self publish and opened the door to the career as an international bestseller. Drilling into how Hazel achieved this, Sam Blake discusses how she created her own opportunities and the bestselling books that followed it. Delving into how much research goes into bestselling historical fiction, creating unforgettable characters and the incredible buzz when a celebrity tweets about your work, Sam Blake quizzes Hazel on the keys to her success. Hazel Gaynor is an award-winning, New York Times, USA Today and Irish Times bestselling historical novelist. Her 2014 debut novel The Girl Who Came Home—A Novel of the Titanic (http://www.hazelgaynor.com/book/the-girl-who-came-home/) hit the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, and went on to win the 2015 Historical Novel of the Year award from the Romantic Novelists’ Association. Her second novel A Memory of Violets (http://www.hazelgaynor.com/book/a-memory-of-violets/) , was also a New York Times bestseller, and her third, The Girl from The Savoy (http://www.hazelgaynor.com/book/the-girl-from-the-savoy/) was an Irish Times and Globe & Mail bestseller, and a finalist for the 2016 Irish Book Awards. Her 2017 release The Cottingley Secret (http://www.hazelgaynor.com/book/the-cottingley-secret-2/) hit the Globe & Mail and USA Today bestseller lists. Last Christmas in Paris (http://www.hazelgaynor.com/book/last-christmas-in-paris/) (co-written with Heather Webb) was also a Globe & Mail bestseller, and won the 2018 Women’s Fiction Writers Association STAR Award. Hazel’s 2018 release The Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter (https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062869302/the-lighthouse-keepers-daughter) , inspired by true events surrounding the life of Victorian lighthouse keeper, Grace Darling, was a top 10 Irish Times bestseller for five consecutive weeks. Summer 2019 will see the publication of Meet Me In Monaco (https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062885371/meet-me-in-monaco/) , Hazel’s second collaboration with Heather Webb. The book is set against the back-drop of the iconic wedding of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco. All Hazel’s novels have been received to critical-acclaim and are translated into ten foreign languages and published in seventeen countries to date. Hazel lives in Ireland with her husband and two children and is represented by Michelle Brower at Aevitas Creative, New York.

Meet Me in Monaco is lovingly written by the team of bestselling author, Hazel Gaynor, and historical novelist, Heather Webb. Meet Me in Monaco begins in May 1955. The London Herald has just printed a news article written by senior fashion editor, Angeline West. All the stars are out in Cannes for the eight annual Film Festival. Hollywood’s darling, Grace Kelly, is one of the loveliest stars in Cannes this year. Each chapter of Meet Me in Monaco tells the story via the alternating points of view of Sophie Duval, James Henderson and Angeline West (via her news articles). Financially-strapped perfumer, Sophie Duval, is also in Cannes running the Duval perfume boutique. Following the death of her father, Sophie has worked long and hard to carry on the family perfume business. Modern perfumes are now being produced faster and cheaper with chemical ingredients. The fragrant ingredients used to make Duval’s unique perfumes are derived from flowers cultivated on the family-owned land. As a talented perfumer, Sophie insists on the continued quality of Duval perfumes. She has learned everything she knows about making perfume from her father. However, Sophie has developed her own expertise at creating just the right scents for customers based on their personalities and interests. Sophie is a master perfumer in her own right. Unfortunately, with her being father gone for a number of years, times are tough for Sophie. Duval’s company finances are a mess. Sophie is beleaguered by the probability of losing both the land and the business.James Henderson, is a news photographer. His daughter Emily lives with her mother and step-father. James to see Emily as much as he can. On assignment, James is covering the Cannes Film Festival. During the festival, Sophie has chance meetings with both Grace Kelly and James. While working during the Cannes Film Festival, James chases Grace into Sophie Duval’s boutique. Sophie effectively thwarts James’ attempt, by hiding Grace. This bad news for James, as his job on the line. He desperately needs some good shots of Grace Kelly. James leaves the boutique with Sophie’s business card. Grace was grateful to Sophie.James attends a news photoshoot for Miss Kelly’s “first meeting” with Prince Rainier. That day resulted in a chance meeting between Grace Kelly and James Henderson. Grace catches a whiff of a lovely scent. James hands her Sophie Duval’s perfume-scented business card. This happening sets the tone for the rest of Meet Me in Monaco. Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco fall in love and become engaged. James and Sophie were able to spend only a little time to get to know each other before James returned to London. April 1956: The Royal Wedding of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco! Grace would soon be known as Princess Grace of Monaco. Will Sophie be invited to the wedding? Will James Henderson be covering the wedding for the Herald? Will Grace Kelly wear a Sophie Duval fragrance at her wedding? Will James and Sophie find each other again? I enjoyed reading Meet Me in Monaco. I was completely caught up in the story of Sophie, James and Grace Kelly. Meet Me in Monaco was a “I can’t turn the pages fast enough” book for me! I was enthralled with Grace Kelly and amazed at how seamlessly her persona was blended her into the story. With only words on paper, the authors painted an amazing portrait of a lovely woman with a beautiful soul, Grace Kelly.Visit BookClubReporter to get your copy of Meet Me in Monaco.

"A fragrant French bonbon of a book: love, glamour, perfume, and paparazzi all circling around the wedding of the century..."--Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of THE ALICE NETWORK and THE HUNTRESS. Named one of InStyle's best books to put in your totebag for the summer! Named one of Popsugar’s best books to put in your beachbag this summer and one of the best books of July! Set in the 1950s against the backdrop of Grace Kelly’s whirlwind romance and unforgettable wedding to Prince Rainier of Monaco, New York Times bestselling author Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb take the reader on an evocative sun-drenched journey along the Côte d’Azur in this page-turning novel of passion, fate and second chances... Movie stars and paparazzi flock to Cannes for the glamorous film festival, but Grace Kelly, the biggest star of all, wants only to escape from the flash-bulbs. When struggling perfumer Sophie Duval shelters Miss Kelly in her boutique to fend off a persistent British press photographer, James Henderson, a bond is forged between the two women and sets in motion a chain of events that stretches across thirty years of friendship, love, and tragedy. James Henderson cannot forget his brief encounter with Sophie Duval. Despite his guilt at being away from his daughter, he takes an assignment to cover the wedding of the century, sailing with Grace Kelly’s wedding party on the SS Constitution from New York. In Monaco, as wedding fever soars and passions and tempers escalate, James and Sophie—like Princess Grace—must ultimately decide what they are prepared to give up for love.

When we first meet Thomas Harding in 1968, he is facing what he believes will be his last Christmas and mourning the loss of an unnamed woman who clearly meant a great deal to him. He carries with him bundles of letters, which he plans to re-read on his trip to Paris. The letters sweep us back to the very beginning of World War I, then trace the entire course of the conflict. One of them he has not yet seen. Most of the correspondence takes place between Thomas and Evie Elliott, the younger sister of his best friend, Will. We see the early hope and idealism of the troops fade as the realities of trench warfare sink in. We watch from the inside the transformation of womens roles in society because of the absence of men. We become caught up in the developing love between Evie and Thomas, the grief suffered by families who lose their loved ones to war, the frustration of being left behind, unable to take part. We revel in the guilty pleasure of riffling through other peoples things, reading words not meant for our eyes. Other voices fill in circumstances that Evie and Thomas take for granted or have no reason to know. And the drama slowly builds as Armistice Day approaches, and the war that was supposed to end all wars creeps to a close. The letters are vivid and real, each voice distinct. And by the end of Last Christmas in Paris (William Morrow, 2017), Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb have shepherded us along a journey through the tragedy of war and the triumph of survival, the experience of love lost and gained.
