Meet Colin Falconer

Born in north London, Colin  worked for many years in TV and radio and freelanced for many of Australia's leading newspapers and magazines. He has been a novelist for the last twenty years, with his work published widely in the UK, US and Europe. His books have been sold in translation in Brazil, Belgium, the Czech republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain and Turkey.

He travels regularly to research his novels and his quest for authenticity led him to run with the bulls in Pamplona, pursue tornadoes across Oklahoma and black witches across Mexico, go cage shark diving in South Africa and get tear gassed in a riot in La Paz. He also completed a nine hundred kilometre walk of the camino in Spain.  

He lived for many years near Margaret River in WA, helped raise two beautiful daughters with his late wife, Helen. While writing, he also worked for many years in the volunteer ambulance service. "I'd be at my desk typing, then thirty minutes later I'd be crawling into an overturned car."

Cheating is always a bad idea. But with the President of the United States?

After fleeing Cuba in 1959 Magdalena works as a waitress in a diner trying to support her sick father. One day Angel Macheda walks back into her life and offers her a way out. Does she take the money and

take the fine life, for her father’s sake, for her own - or hold out for an impossible dream?

Miami, 1961. When Angel Macheda walks back into her life, Magdalena doesn’t have to struggle anymore. He pays her father’s medical bills and

shows her the high life. But when her father dies, does she continue her life as his mistress - or follow her own dream?

She goes to Hollywood and finds everything she ever dreamed. She even finds Reyes Garcia once more - and for one crowded hour

everything is perfect.

But love is dangerous. Magdalena has always told herself that she is looking for love. But there’s a difference between dreaming about what

you want and getting it.

From Jack Kennedy’s Malibu hideaway, from the Hollywood of Monroe and Sinatra, Magdalena experiences the highs and lows of chasing her dream of being a star. But even Camelot has a dark underbelly, and

when the White House and the Mob clash, she is caught in the fallout.

In the tradition of Casablanca and Gone With the Wind, the story of Magdalena Fuentes and Reyes Garcia is a sprawling epic of passion and

destiny, stretching across three decades and two continents.
