Hello!
I live in a small market town in Yorkshire England and am surrounded by beauty...and a lot of fish and chip shops!  I have 2 dogs: a cockapoo called Poppy and a yorkie/jack russell cross named Tinsy.  I am a HUGE animal lover, I love all animals including spiders (I am a freak I know!) 

After being made redundant from my lab job in June 2013 I started to write 'The Life and Afterlife of Charlie Brackwood' just to pass the time. That writing has now turned in to a full length romance novel!

My novel is a fantasy romance novel and the story surrounds 3 childhood friends, Lucy, Charlie and Russ.  It is set in a small village in Burnsall North Yorkshire (which is actually where my backdrop picture was taken).  It involves love triangles, university, secret love affairs, growing up and very, very nosy Yorkshire folk!

Here is the BLURB for The Life and Afterlife of Charlie Brackwood:

On the evening of his engagement to his first and only love, Charlie Brackwood makes a decision that will change everything for them both . . . and one he will regret for all eternity. 

Charlie finds himself exiled to heaven, still able to observe his loved ones though to them he is a fading memory. He can also revisit memorable moments from his past: happy, sad, bittersweet. From a distance he understands and forgives his best friend Russ, able to see the sadness beneath his brash exterior. He also relives the troubled course of his romance with Lucy Elliot, the love of his short life, and vows to wait for her. 
But even in heaven, it seems, fate can take an unexpected turn. Charlie is asked to accomplish a very special task, and must make the biggest decision of his life and afterlife… 

Haunting and strikingly original, The Life and Afterlife of Charlie Brackwood is a sweet, sad story about the enduring power of love. A must read for every born romantic.
