MY WRITING & WHAT INSPIRES ME... 

Lots of readers have asked about what inspired me to write my book and my journey from accountant to author - from being creative with numbers to creative with words! - so I thought it would be fun to share more of the background. Since publication I have also had numerous messages from people sharing their own stories; reminiscing about the 1976 heatwave, carefree teenage holidays and saying how my novel has brought so many memories back to life for them. It is wonderful to know the impact it has had. I will add to this page as more ideas come to mind and post progress updates for book number two as well...
I hope you enjoy these insights and please do get in touch with any comments or feedback.
