Writing and parenting - it's been a while but I have a new book coming out!

It's tough doing almost anything but parenting when you have a little one isn't it?! My daughter turned four earlier this month, which is pretty incredible. Today she started pre-school!

Parenting is, for the most part, lots of fun. However, it is also all-consuming, hard work and not for those who value personal time. That is why my second novel, Her Shadow, has taken so long to write. However, this Autumn it will be published on Amazon, and I am really proud of it.

Here's the back page blurb:

Cameron Strawbank's job as a high society fundraiser finds her wining and dining the great and the good. Following a five figure donation, her professional and personal life collide with dramatic consequences when she finds herself in bed with a prominent politician. Sara Lorenzo is a well known shadow cabinet minister, and what begins as a fling, becomes a relationship that surprises both women. Before long, the tabloid press discover their affair, and its apparent link to cash, and lurid headlines follow, forcing the couple apart. Sara prioritises safeguarding her career and Cameron is left with her working and personal life in tatters, and flees the country with an old flame.

Cameron's desire to find out how Sara really feels about her, brings her back to the UK, despite the guilt she carries. Is there any chance of a future together? She attempts to rebuild a career, and forge a new connection with Sara when tragedy hits in the form of a suspected terrorist attack in central London.


This is a story of love, loss, friendship, adventure, politics and forgiveness that will keep you guessing to the very end.

Everyone has a good book inside them right?


They say that everyone has a book in them. Well, I can confirm that there is more than one in me! It's been fantastic writing this blog, and hearing feedback from you, my lovely readers. I only really started writing about my parenting experiences from a selfish perspective, as an outlet in a way. However, as I have carried in and my audience has grown, it has occurred to me that there is perhaps a book here. From what I gather there is pretty much nothing out there in mainstream literature about being the 'other mother' even though it's clear there is a hunger for information out there. So, here begins my bid to publish my story. 

What do you think? Would you buy it? (Please say yes!)

In my other life, before I was a parent, I published a novel called Four Movemenents, the extraordinary tale of an ordinary upright piano and its owners over 50 years. Download it on Amazin and see what you think: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Four-Movements-Fifty-Years-People-ebook/dp/B00D2ZSAM0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386880144&sr=8-1&keywords=Four+movements
