This month I am running special posts that covers Addiction.
I will be featuring Authors whose books tell the story of how addiction impacts on their character's lives.
These are compelling reads that will have you turning the pages to find out just how far these characters will go before it is too far,
or maybe, too far will not be far enough!
So please come back and find out just how far addiction can take you.

I'm too am a little addictive as my
passion is to write about events that happen in life and change everything for
those involved as well as those caught up in the maelstrom. I want my
characters to sit at your side, steal your attention and sweep you up in their
story. Stories that will bring tears to your eyes, have you laughing out loud
and sometimes, what they share with you, will stay in your hearts for a very long time.
Love,
lies and gambling!
Bertie Costain has worked hard
all his life in the building trade and now owns his own London-based company.
In 1967, approaching fifty and still unmarried he enjoys a playboy lifestyle,
but when he meets Kitty, an attractive, wealthy widow ten years his senior, he
swiftly proposes.
Swept off her feet, Kitty adores
him. The happy couple seem to have it all, but Bertie has a secret. Kitty has
no idea their home is mortgaged to the hilt, or that the many expensive gifts
he brings her come out of his winnings at roulette. Proud of his apparent success and ignorant of
his gambling addiction, she happily loans him large sums of money, ostensibly
for his business.
Convinced with each spin of the
wheel that his run of bad luck will change, Bertie gambles for increasingly
high stakes, falling deeper and deeper into debt until, facing financial ruin
and with nowhere to turn, he resorts to fraud. As their lives begin to unravel,
Kitty learns the horrifying truth.
In the cold light of day can
their love survive the pain and destruction Bertie’s addiction has wrought?
Please join me over
the next few weeks to meet these amazing authors and to find out what makes them write about addiction.
