From a very young age I was fascinated with the written word, whatever the language. I used to have a tall book of fairy tales that I read over and over again until it fell to pieces. Nowadays there are very few books that I will take the time to read more than once because there are so many stories out there waiting for my eager attention; there's simply no time to reread material, but that doesn't mean to say I don't revisit the stories in my dreams and I have amassed decades-worth of stories to re-experience in dreamland.

Pauses and hesitations and awkwardness don't matter; the state of your hair and make-up and whether or not a zit is bubbling away on your nose is irrelevant; the pen cares not whether you're in a good or bad mood or have a cold - the words will come if you let them.

Buying a house together

Children learn lots in school, but basic life skills – opening a bank account, taking out a mortgage, buying a house, pensions… all of this they have to learn on their own unless they have a trusted adult to show them the ropes.

My children are going through the house-buying process and we have sat down and discussed things like: mortgage in principle, deposits, fees, conveyancing, surveyors, the p

“The pain was greater than the shame”
Bea Turvey, Banished

“A peasant that reads is a prince in waiting.”
Walter Mosley, The Long Fall

“The pain was greater than the shame”
Bea Turvey, Banished

“I have for the first time found what I can truly love–I have found you. You are my sympathy–my better self–my good angel–I am bound to you with a strong attachment. I think you good, gifted, lovely: a fervent, a solemn passion is conceived in my heart; it leans to you, draws you to my centre and spring of life, wrap my existence about you–and, kindling in pure, powerful flame, fuses you and me in one.”
Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre

“The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.”
Elizabeth Taylor

“Don't take life too seriously. After all none of us are getting out alive anyway.”
Jill Shalvis, Simply Irresistible

Bea Turvey Hi

I'm due to release my next book soon, but before I do I'm looking for some wonderful people to read and review my last book, Banished (https://www.virginmobile.com/vm/login... or http://www.amazon.com/Banished-Bea-Tu...).

If you'd like to receive a copy of Banished, please email me quoting 'Goodread review'.

Thank you and happy reading!

Bea :)
