About the author
AnnMarie Wyncoll
7 books14 followersI can't remember a time when I didn't have a book in my hands. As a child I used to hide them under the bedclothes and many a night I'd fall asleep mid-chapter, waking only when the book slipped from my grasp.
As an avid reader I'd always promised myself I'd write a book yet I had no idea if I'd be able to do it. When I read a book that I'm invested in then I'll read the beginning before skipping to the end to make sure it ends how I want it to. If it does, then I'll go back and read the middle - strange, I know! So I figured I'd do the same thing when writing; craft the beginning and the end but struggle to write the middle, yet, a few years ago I surprised myself. I sat down and wrote my first full length novel and now I've hit my forties, I haven't looked back. I've actually written a total of three novels now although 'When Foundations Crumble' is the first one to be published. I'm thoroughly enjoying my writing journey and consider myself fortunate to be able to do what I love.
When I'm not writing I'm a mum to two wonderful boys (they paid me to say that) and wife to an even more wonderful husband (yeah, he paid too). I love cats, cricket and chocolate (all the c's) and live in the (not so) sunny climes of the UK.

March 5, 2020The story drew me in. Liked the style of writing from alternate points of view, but not in first person. Ok characters.....although I didn’t warm to them.
It just lacked description and contained too much dialogue for my personal taste.
