A TRIP to historic Dubrovnik inspired a Quinton woman to pen her first novel.

Travel fan Jayne Silva wrote Passport to Love in less than a year after planning the holiday romance while on staying in the Croatian coastal city.

The 30-year-old, of Chichester Drive, has self-published her story about a discontented wife away with her husband, whose life changes when she meets the hotel chef.

The novel is available on Amazon Kindle and she is already writing her second book, set in her favourite holiday destination of Madrid.
