We are delighted to welcome Daisy James to our blog today to talk about her latest book Confetti and Confusion.

Adventures in St Lucia
Confetti & Confusion is the second book in the Paradise Cookery School series, set on the spectacular Caribbean island of St Lucia. In the story we re-join Millie and Ella as they showcase a myriad of chocolate-themed recipes for bride-to-be Imogen and her friends in the run up to their glamorous wedding at a luxury resort on the hilltop overlooking the stunning Pitons. It’s a dream come true for Imogen to be getting married in such exotic surroundings and, as a confirmed chocoholic, being able to attend the cookery school is the icing on the three-tiered wedding cake.
By the time the Chocolate & Confetti course starts, Millie has been in St Lucia for two weeks and she’s been so busy that she hasn’t had time to see very much of the island. Zach comes to the rescue and offers to take her on a magical mystery tour of the sights, culminating in an exhilarating treat. Millie isn’t sure about that, but if there’s one thing she’s learnt since meeting Zach it’s that life is for the taking and unless she’s prepared to grab it by the scruff of its neck, she’ll be missing out on all the wonderful things on offer in that part of the world. Little did she know what Zach had up his sleeve – zip-lining!
I had a great time watching the videos of people who had enjoyed the zip wire flights on the slopes above the St Lucian capital of Castries. It looked like fun, but also very scary! The trees were as tall as telegraph poles, and the dense tropical foliage hid a plethora of creatures, insects and bugs. The worst bit for Millie was when she stood on the platform, her toes gripping onto the edge, her stomach churning like an out-of-control washing machine. Fortunately, Zach was there to encourage her to take that first flying leap into the unknown and once she’d landed on the next wooden ledge in the treetops, she was hooked! Exhilarating!
In the interests of research, I decided that I should try out a zip wire ride myself. However, flying through the September air in the UK is a totally different experience to what it would have been in the sun-drenched Caribbean, and I have to admit it was the scariest research I’ve ever done. My heart lodged firmly in my mouth, my knees trembled, and it took a great deal of persuasion for me to jump from the safety of the first platform. Nevertheless, I did it – but I can definitely say that I will not be repeating that particular adventure. I prefer the food-based research any day!

Have you done a zip wire flight? Let me know in the comments.
