edit data

The author Nick J. Hart travelled through Southeast Asia, New Zealand and Australia for over a year with the sole purpose of having no plan at all, but to find everything out on the way. Little did he know that he would find so much more than just the next stop or the next way to go.

He found a place where the Australian winter was better than the German summer. A place he didn’t even plan on stopping, but called home for more than five months. And a place he found himself getting attached to a quirky receptionist at the local backpacker hostel. The inspiration for his first novel “And then came you”, where the similarities of their very own (love)story are present, but where the actual storyline is still a work of fiction.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

She was working at the local hostel and just came out of a relationship (not being cheated on though!). As a result she put herself on a "boy break" for at least a year (Spoiler Alert: Since I already called her my girlfriend, we all know how this was ending ;)).

I on my end didn't even plan on stopping in Townsville (that's where the story is set), but ended up staying more than five months.

But that's already where the similarities to our own story are ending. I always had the basic plot in mind and was now "only" pressing it into a backpacker story and chucked in some moments my girlfriend and I shared (maybe at some point I will reveal which ones ;)). (less)
