Where There is a Will

GRIPPING AUSTRALIAN FICTION. Surfing, amnesia, and a search for self...
A massive cyclone swell on Sydney's beaches claims a big wave surfer, leaving his long-term partner without a body to mourn. His four adult godchildren from far and wide gather for the reading of his will. A mystery girl from Tasmania joins them.
Down the coast, a man is pulled from the water and abandoned to his fate with a head injury and amnesia. He sets out on an odyssey along the east coast of Australia in search of his identity.
Will he like what he finds?

Author Michel Vimal du Monteil is represented by the New Authors Collective agency. He was born in France in 1955, in a military family. In 1979, Michel arrived in Sydney on a 16-month assignment with the French Australian Chamber of Commerce. Australia became his home from then on. Michel had a stint running a windsurfing and sailing school on Hayman Island in the Whitsundays. He worked at SBS TV in its early days. And he was a voice-over artist, a trade consultant, a translator, and a conference interpreter. In 1988, by fluke, he embarked on an investment banking career in Sydney, from which he retired in 2011. In 2013, Michel and his wife Annemieke settled in their new home at beautiful Emerald Beach, on the NSW Coffs Coast.
