Eva Glyn

Her last holiday before lockdown was a trip to Croatia, and the country’s haunting histories and gorgeous scenery have proved fertile ground, driven by her  friendship with a tour guide She met there. 

His wartime story provided the inspiration for The Olive Grove and his help in creating a realistic portrayal of Croatian life has proved invaluable. Her second novel set in the country, An Island of Secrets is a dual timeline looking back to World War 2. Both are published by One More Chapter, a division of Harper Collins.

She is also inspired by the work of her own favourite authors, who include Victoria Hislop, Rosanna Ley, Angela Petch and Elizabeth Buchan.

Although She is Welsh She is now happily settled in Cornwall, and lucky enough to have been married to the love of her life for more than twenty-five years. 

Eva also writes as Jane Cable.
