Hello everyone and welcome to a very special post on bibliobeth today. Today the lovely people at Pan Macmillan have allowed me to give away a copy of Somewhere Beyond The Sea by Miranda Dickinson. Apologies to the publisher that I wasn’t able to post this content as part of the blog tour, I happened to be quite poorly and completely forgot about my commitment to them but I’m thankful to them that I’m still able to post it now. So here’s all the information about the book!
What’s it all about?:
Can you fall in love with someone before you’ve even met?
Seren MacArthur is living a life she never intended. Trying to save the Cornish seaside business her late father built – while grieving for his loss – she has put her own dreams on hold and is struggling. Until she discovers a half-finished seaglass star on her favourite beach during an early morning walk. When she completes the star, she sets into motion a chain of events that will steal her heart and challenge everything she believes.
Jack Dixon is trying to secure a better life for daughter Nessie and himself. Left a widower and homeless when his wife died, he’s just about keeping their heads above water. Finding seaglass stars completed on Gwithian beach is a bright spark that slowly rekindles his hope.
Seren and Jack are searching for their missing pieces. But when they meet in real life, it’s on the opposing sides of a battle. Jack is managing the redevelopment of a local landmark, and Seren is leading the community campaign to save it.
Both have reason to fight – Seren for the cause her father believed in, Jack for his livelihood. But only one can win. With so much at stake, will they ever find what they are really looking for?
Miranda Dickinson’s Somewhere Beyond the Sea is a sparkling tale of love, life and finding magic where you least expect it.
AUTHOR INFORMATION
Miranda Dickinson has always had a head full of stories. Coming from a creative family where stories and songs were always present, it was perhaps inevitable that she would end up adoring words. A songwriter for over 15 years, Miranda has successfully penned over thirty songs, delivering both live and recorded performances in a range of venues across the UK and Europe. Her first solo project album, About Time is due for release this year. To hear her music, visit www.mirandadickinson.com – and be sure to leave a message if you like it!
Miranda began writing in earnest four years ago with her first novel, Coffee at Kowalski’s – a romantic comedy set in New York’s Upper West Side. This was spotted on HarperCollins’ site for unpublished authors, Authonomy.com at the end of 2008 and was released by Avon (part of HC) as Fairytale of New York on 12th November 2009. She has also written several short stories, scripts and novel excerpts, many of which are published on Helium.com. Miranda is also a regular contributor for www.myvillage.com writing a range of local interest articles for the Birmingham area and national film and festival reviews.

Oh what a great giveaway! The best book I’ve read recently would have to be I’ll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara!
Thank you! Oh I REALLY want to read that one! 🤔
Great review… I want to read this book.
Thank you, I haven’t actually reviewed it or read it but if you want to enter the giveaway, lots of luck!
I realized it later when I bought this book that it was the blurb not a review… Hahaha.. Well I will read hopefully soon and review.
This is interesting and I loved that cover. 🙂
Very summery isn’t it? Looks great for a light, beach read!
Best book I read recently was – The Things We Need to Say by Rachel Burton. It was moving and inspiring.
That sounds interesting, I’ll have to look it up! I really enjoy an emotional read from time to time. 🙂
I guess you will like it. 🙂
Best book I’ve read recently………
The Cabin at the End of the world by Paul Trembly 👌💖📚
Ooh Abby, I’m looking that up right now! The title is pulling me in already! 😀
Best Book I’ve read recently…SIgns of Attraction by Laura Brown The MCs are Deaf and HOH. I wrote a book that has a deaf secondary character. Anyway, after the fact, I stumbled across this book and wanted to see how Laura Brown showed communication between the characters. I got totally absorbed in the storyline instead of looking for technique. 😌
Hi Peyton, thanks for your comment! That sounds like quite a moving read. It’s so important to read books with a diverse range of characters isn’t it?
Looks like a good one! Nice cover on it too!
Thank you 😊 it screams sunshine doesn’t it? Probably not one for me but happy to give it away to someone else!
Reblogged this on Always Need More Books.
Thank you so much for that! 😊
Really enjoyed The One by Maria Realf
Glad to hear it Julie! 😊
Hmm… it’s hard to think of a book recently that I’ve loved. I’ll say A Thousand Perfect Notes.
Ooh have you saved it for me?! 😉
It was an e-arc!
DOH! 😓😆
Sounds lovely, thank you! The best book I read recently would have to be “The Martian” – a totally different kind of book, I know! But what can I say, my tastes are eclectic! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
My pleasure Kristin! Lots of luck. I loved the humour in The Martian, it made me laugh out loud at times. 😆
Yay, thanks for the giveaway, Beth! I hope you are feeling much better! I just finished The Possible World and absolutely loved every bit!
You’re very welcome and lots of luck for the giveaway! Looking forward to your review, I don’t think I’ve heard of that book. 🤔😊
A Place For Us for us absolutely beautiful gut wrenching writing,
Thanks Rhonda, I have that on my TBR, looking forward to reading it! 😊
Really looking forward to this one! Happy to have found your blog.
