Greetings to all:

When I first learned about a company called YourNovel.com I was attracted to the idea of personalizing a novel and it seemed to me that Couples Ocho Rios with its storied history was the perfect setting for a steamy romance novel. A good book is hard to put down because the characters come to life within the pages. Just imagine the two of you as the main characters.

Imagine no more. Yournovel.com and Couples Ocho Rios have teamed up to issue the first personalized romance novel set at a Caribbean resort. “Jamaica Rendezvous: A Couples Ocho Rios Romance” - the perfect romantic gift.

Starring in a Couples Ocho Rios romance novel is a wonderful memento for guests who stay at this resort and also for those who can’t wait before returning “home” to Couples Resorts. If you can’t be there in body, be there in spirit - grab a Red Stripe and let your imagination run wild as you read about your Jamaican getaway. You’ll almost feel like you’re there on the beach. And, you will come back sooner than later.

Yournovel.com’s personalized romance novels place couples between the pages thanks to an online questionnaire of 26 personal details like names, hometown, places of work, eye and hair color, best friends, favorite music, favorite perfume and cologne, and how long they’ve been a couple. Of course, I filled out the questionnaire first to make certain that the novel was something we could embrace and promote. Yournovel.com offers two versions: Wild or Mild. When I received the first draft of the novel (Yes, I opted for the Wild Version)… well all I can say is Ooh-La-La!!

“Jamaica Rendezvous” is set at Couples Ocho Rios, an all-inclusive resort catering exclusively to couples. The book begins with the featured couple arriving at the resort and falling in love with the romance-drenched property. Soon the couple is taught a valuable lesson in love, courtesy of an ocean treasure, and throughout the adventure, the twosome occupy loved-filled days with horseback rides on a former plantation, treks up Jamaica’s famous Dunn’s River Falls, snorkeling and sailing, while hot nights, exotic entertainment and passionate encounters combine to make a vacation worth reading about.

Yournovel.com, Inc. is the brainchild of husband and wife writing team J.S. Fletcher and Kathy M. Newbern who write together under the pseudonym Fletcher Newbern. The couple developed the concept, founded the company in 1992 and has authored 14 novels to date, including their newest endeavor, “Jamaica Rendezvous.”

“Fletcher and I were inspired to write this book after visiting Couples Ocho Rios and experiencing first-hand the magic of the romantic atmosphere there,” commented Kathy Newbern. “We had been considering writing a story based in Jamaica and this resort was the perfect backdrop.”
