The ever-popular Derbyshire-based author Hazel Helliwell has published a new romance, Meant to Meet, under her name and not her pen name Samantha Arran. She says, "Many readers of my autobiography 'Out of the Shadows' asked me to write more of the history of my formative years. 'Meant to Meet' is fictional, but the facts are real. For the sequence, the story begins in 1896 with a collier's family in North Derbyshire and draws you into the way they lived their lives, their joys, and the tragedies, and continues through their descendants until the present day. For some of my younger readers, it also will be an eye-opener, but others will find it nostalgic. It's been my biggest challenge, writing from my own experience, supported and developed with careful research."
