So, they’re twenty two, attractive, single, working full time as cashiers in a small supermarket. No dependants other than two guinea pigs called (Gloria and Deloris) yet they never seem to have any spare cash to spend on themselves. That’s precisely the status of Cass Collins and her best friend and flat mate, Sue Tillman. No money and little to no romance is all part of their mundane daily routine.
Cass thought her life couldn’t get any worse regarding men, after she ended a long term affair with Gavin Gerard, a spineless married man seventeen years her senior, who promised her the world then returned to his wife.
If that wasn’t bad enough, he constantly hounds her after realising he made a big mistake going back.
To add to Cass’s torment he keeps popping into the store, where he knows she cannot thwart his attentions, simply because any altercation with a customer could cost her job. This is made worse as the staff are under the ever watchful, beady eye of their miserable boss, Mr ‘face that could make an onion cry,’ Wilkinson. Who seems to think he’s running Harrods, instead of a crappy supermarket.
Karen Clow is passionate about her writing especially her erotic crime books; as they cover topics which we all like to believe don’t happen, when in fact they do on a daily basis. Sex crimes along with women who live in fear of their partners are real. All her work comes from the heart which is reflected in her ability to write in different genres. Her books leave you believing in the topic and wanting to read more. She is fiercely protective over her family and has always endeavoured to have time for them and her writing, so it’s no surprise that she often writes during the night hours. With a genuine love of people and animals, she strives to help everyone in the hope of making their lives better, yet unbeknown to many of them she is also a published poet .
