500 Miles from You: A Novel

What happens when two medical professionals--ex Army medic
from a village in the Scottish Highlands and an inner city nurse from
inner-city London—switch jobs for three months and become unlikely pen pals?

Lissa, is a nurse in a gritty,
hectic London neighborhood. Always terribly competent and good at keeping it
all together, she’s been suffering quietly with PTSD after helping to save the
victim of a shocking crime. Her supervisor quietly arranges for Lissa to spend
a few months doing a much less demanding job in the little town of Kirrinfeif
in the Scottish Highlands, hoping that the change of scenery will help her heal. Lissa will be swapping places with Cormack, an Army veteran who’s Kirrinfeif’s
easygoing nurse/paramedic/all-purpose medical man. Lissa’s never experienced
small-town life, and Cormack’s never spent more than a day in a big city, but
it seems like a swap that would do them both some good.

In London, the gentle
Cormack is a fish out of the water; in Kirrinfief, the dynamic Lissa finds it
hard to adjust to the quiet. But these two strangers are now in constant
contact, taking over each other’s patients, endlessly emailing about anything
and everything. Lissa and Cormack discover a new depth of feeling…for their
profession and for each other.

But what will happen
when Lissa and Cormack finally meet…?
