*** The Wattpad #1 and a Most Read Award Winner *** Hubble, bubble, the witch is in trouble, the ballerina's broken and the vet's in disgrace. Living in the Lakes is going to be murder. When Patrick's photographed in flagrante with a local beauty queen, his father delivers an ultimatum: one more newspaper scandal and Patrick will be disowned - no house and no job at the family veterinary practice. Desperate not to lose his easy life in the country, Patrick needs to avoid trouble - and girls like Libby. Until she moved to the Lakes, Libby hadn't had sex on a first date, let alone indulged in a one-night-stand. But after flings with the local policeman and a married man, her morals unravel causing the local rag to dub her 'The Libertine'. Infamous and still mourning her previous career as a ballerina, Libby casts a Wicca spell to summon a new love. Good-looking, honest, non-brown eyes, English, likes animals... in a nutshell: Patrick, a man she's never met. But fighting Libby's love spell will be the least of Patrick's problems when an old lady dies from a ketamine overdose. The drug was stolen from his surgery and she's the third pensioner to die in as many months. Tongues will wag. ***** Caution ***** While Distraction is rated PG13, it does contain strong language and scenes of a sexual nature. Please don't read it if these things offend you. Cx

We have a tendency to try to cope with our realities by creating alternative versions and scenerios-sometimes different worlds. Without these daydreams, we would have no hope. Fantasies provide us with a desperetly needed escape from reality; they keep us sane and full of hope. We need to dream in order to have hope things will get better. We need to dream so we can plan what is instore for us. Without dreaming we would be millions of cyncical, screwed-up, sinister people on a giant rock floating in an endless space. However much our dreams help us, they can also destroy us. Our dreams not only give us hope but piles of disappointments. We all need a bit of cynicism in our lives; where would we be without being just a little distrustful of human nature? Sure, in the long run our fantasies will have more positive effects on us than expected, but there is something we all need that our dreams cant give us. It has been said that our dreams allow us to escape from relaity, but what they dont provide us is a sense of reality. Escaping from reality is sometimes what we all need, nonetheless we all need to at least be able to appreciate and acknowlege that our reality is real and will shape us into who we need to be. This isn't a story about falling in love. This isn't a story of a girl who falls in love with a boy and then all of her problems magically disappear. This is a story of a girl who has to learn how to take hold of her reality. This is her story.
