Debby Holt will be launching the publication by Accent Press of her seventh novel, The Soulmate, at Toppings on Thursday, February 18. It follows the experiences of sixty-three-year-old widower, Henry, and his thirty-five-year-old daughter, Maddie, as they attempt to find new partners.
Debby’s novels display a witty but genuine warmth for her characters, along with a fascination for the perennial fallibilities and misunderstandings inherent in so many personal relationships. She will be talking about her new book, the strange process of writing a novel, and the importance of letting one’s fictional characters make their own decisions.
