The Wave
Tonight they’ll share their darkest secrets, but tomorrow, there is no escape....
A devastating tsunami is heading towards the Cornish coast. With no early warning and limited means of escape, many people won’t get away in time.
While the terrifying reality of the news hits home, one young woman posts a message on Facebook, ‘With nowhere to run to, I’m heading to my favourite beach to watch the sunset, who wants to join me?’
A small group of people follow her lead and head towards the beach; each of them are harbouring their own stories, and their own secrets.
As they come together in the dying light of the Cornish sunset, they will discover something much more powerful than they ever imagined. But there is no escaping the dawn, the wave is coming....
This is a symphonic story of secrets and suspense, perfect for fans of Margaret Atwood, Claire North, and M. R. Carey.

About the author
Virginia Moffatt
12 books23 followersI've always been a writer, but have only taken it seriously in the last decade. Since then, I've participated in writing courses, had short stories published and written a play.
My first novel 'Echo Hall' has been signed by the crowdfunding publisher Unbound. The novel tells the story of three generations of women who experience love, loss and conflict during times of war. If you are intrigued and would like to be part of making this book happen please do pop over to the website and pledge!(https://unbound.co.uk/books/echo-hall)
"Rapture and what comes after" is my first collection of flash fiction, drawn from many of my weekly #fridayflash stories. It was published by Gumbo Press in 2014.
On a personal note I was born in London, the 5th of 8 children. With enthusiastic, supportive and literary parents (my Dad was an English teacher, my Mum, a nurse and voracious reader), it's not surprising lots of us write. My eldest brother has published a theology book, my eldest sister is a poet, my second sister, writes about financial law, my third is a translator and my twin sister is a successful commercial fiction writer.
I love writing. I believe I have something worth saying. I hope readers will agree.
