guest is Maya Berger, author of the chick lit novel, Off Shore Secrets. Maya is here today to answer 20 questions about her life, writing and

Maya Berger is the author of a memoir
focusing on women’s personal growth called Luna Tree and its sequel In
the Pursuit of Change. She took a break from writing about life and
personal growth to write adventure stories about two young women just out of
university trying to make important decisions in their life like who to date,
who to socialise with, how to travel with no money and how to act in
potentially dangerous situations. The most important lessons they learn are how
to depend on each other and rely on themselves.
Maya is a 44-year-old living in Zagreb,
Croatia with her husband and their three-year- old daughter. She is a marketing
graduate, pilates instructor, she promotes Croatia as a tourist destination and
she loves to read and write.

Single again, Maya and her bestie, Una,
make plans to sail around the beautiful Adriatic Coast on board a luxury yacht.
Fun in the sun with friends is just what these two need this summer.
Maya shouldn’t be attracted to Adrian—the
cocky, handsome Spaniard on board—especially when after a passionate night, he
calls out another girl’s name in his sleep.
Una, who is supposed to be in a long
distance relationship, hooks up with a stranger and sneaks him on board. The
next day, the stranger is gone and so is some very expensive jewelry. When Una
goes missing too, Maya wants to help her, but what is Una’s involvement?
And who is the mysterious girl Adrian
mumbles about in his sleep? Perhaps it is something to do with Una’s secretive
and reckless behavior. Maya has a lot of questions, but no one seems ready to
give her the answers.
