About the author

Now what about me? I’ve done a lot of writing, but way back before I even dreamed I could be a professional writer I was just the youngest in a big family. My Dad was a surveyor with an edge of brilliance. My Mum was from gipsy roots and used to drive around in a goat-cart (yes, really!) when she was little. Once we were rich (although I didn’t know it then, and it was all thanks to my Dad’s ingenuity) and then suddenly – pretty shockingly, really – we were poor (thanks to greedy people who exploited his kindness). I have to tell you, rich is better. But the great thing about life is, even painful events pass, and if you make bad choices, hopefully you learn from them.

I was excited to hear there was more of the Annie Carter series. I was a little disappointed that it’s mainly telling Ruthie’s side of the story. You need to have read the rest of the series to really understand this book. It was nice to get to know things from Ruthie’s perspective and it did tie up some of the lose ends.

Another great read from this author. Revisitng some long established characters, was great to meet up with them again.
