I'm sooo excited to announce that my latest book, The Wendy
House has been honoured with a B.R.A.G. Award https://www.bragmedallion.com. I
can’t begin to tell you how seriously happy I feel.
I never get over that nervous feeling, despite having six
books published, when my baby is set free into the big wide world. I know it is
the same for many authors when, having cherished their hard work from
conception and then letting it take flight.
I always feel honoured when readers leave a review either
publicly or via an email to me personally, so receiving a B.R.A.G. Award is not
just the icing on the cake, but the cherry too.
Here is the blurb from my Award winning book…
When Nicola changes overnight from a bright, happy young
child into a sullen, rebellious girl, ceasing to show interest in anything or
anyone around her, her parents struggle to understand why. As she develops into
a difficult, troubled, hostile teenager they put it down to hormones, believing
it will pass. Yet Nicola goes from bad to worse and no matter how much her
mother tries to reach out to her, it seems she is hell bent on self-destruction.
When she leaves home at seventeen, rushing into the arms of a man ten years her
senior and quickly becoming pregnant, her despairing mother almost gives up on
her. A decade later, the events that stole Nicola’s childhood and changed the
course of her life threaten finally to destroy her. She knows if she is to
cling on to her sanity she must tell her mother the dreadful secret she has
carried all these years, but her fear that she will be met with disbelief,
hostility and branded an evil liar drives her to the edge.
A heart-rending story of betrayal, secrets and gripping
fear.
This Dedication and Special Thank You is added to both Kindle
and paperback versions of The Wendy House.
This book is pure fiction. The people and places are from my
imagination and bare no relation to anyone living or dead. However, I could not
have written this book without the help of a special person I met some years
ago. What this lovely, brave lady shared with me, not only broke my heart, but
will live with me forever. Yet despite the pain of her years of abuse, she
wanted me to write a book on this subject. For this courageous, beautiful lady,
I dedicate, The Wendy House.
This is for you lovely with all my love.
I hope the sun is shinning in your heart and on your face.
Love
