WHAT THE PAPERS SAID


“Outstanding…”

TIME OUT


“Quite incredible in its banality….”

THE GUARDIAN       


“Marvellous characterisation, hugely believable heroes and an excellent understanding of the Ford Anglia…”

MOTORING WEEKLY


“Clearly an author who has never experienced parenthood…”

FAMILY CIRCLE


“Having wet myself at the enormously arousing exhibitionist copulation of Kiss the Drummer, I can only say that this is somewhat prosaically disappointing…”

PENTHOUSE

“Loved the little boy…”

THE JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL BOTANICAL SOCIETY   

“An outrageous indictment of the finest habitat Hertfordshire has to offer…”

THE RICKMANSWORTH HERALD


“Getting to be quite my favourite author…”

PERCUSSION MONTHLY


“Ludicrous…”

MELVYN BRAGG

“Oh ordinary bloke this time is it?  Right…”

GENESIS MONTHLY


“Having only read her copious articles in the Watford Observer, I can only say I wish she’d stayed there…”

SHERIDAN MORLEY

“A significant style improvement on the original.  Could there be an actual market for this…?”

THE SJC GARDEN SHED APPRECIATION SOCIETY

“Not enough sex…”
THE SUN

A NOVEL


FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE “MASTERPIECE OF FANTASY…” (TIME OUT) ‘SAVING PEELIP’

AND THE “UTTERLY LIBELLOUS…” (GENESIS MONTHLY)  ‘KISS THE DRUMMER’



She is a single Mum, abused, wary, focused.  He is a carefree student with a past, a big mouth, a big smile and an emotional heart. Brought together by a child.  “But such a child as this…”  


From cider in the park to the Royal Berkshire Hospital, via Alton Towers, a yellow model Cortina and the Blues Brothers with a wooden spoon.  


None of them will ever be the same again…
