12 books3 followersThérésa lives with her husband and furbaby by the sea in South Wales.
She originally trained as a psychologist then (when the Ghostbusters thing didn't work out) she went into teaching. All the while, she was writing; initially working on screenplays before moving on to be an award-winning playwright.

In 2015, Thérésa published her debut novel, the science-fiction thriller "Our Little Miracle". A new edition was released in 2020. 2016 saw the release of "Diary Of An Everyday Vampire". The third instalment of the 'vampire stand-up' is now available. Other humour titles include the Austen-inspired "First Impressions" and, most recently, "The Ghosts Of Little Cocking".
"Dominic: The Tale Of An Accidental Vampire" tells the gothic horror/romance story of a very different vampire. The sequel, "Fortior Concordia" is out now, with the third book in the saga due in 2021.
Her style is very visual, poetic, and has been described as 'like Classic Gothic fiction of the best kind.'

This a short, pleasant, funny and quirky read. Perfect if you are after a bit of escapism from this world and just need to smile for a bit. There is not much of a plot, but I do know there is now a second installment, but I purely enjoyed the ramblings of the vampire via her diary. Sometimes a book like this is just what you need.

Book 62 of my Goodreads Challenge
A short read about a modern day vampire facing everyday challenges. A fun little read that had me sniggering behind the pages.
My favourite line has to be this one:-
I can't imagine being chased out of the village by people waving glow sticks and dysons'.

As I follow the author on Instagram, I saw this advertised. At 137 pages and in Kindle Unlimited, I downloaded it.
I’m so glad I did as it was extremely entertaining. In fact, it’s quirky, full of humour, and made me chuckle several times.
The journal entries are clever because the narrator would present a situation that immediately generated a thought from me. She would then follow it up with - I know what you’re thinking. And she did!
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a vampire, and haven’t we all? lol. This explains it and it’s not as glamorous as one would think. And before you ask - no, she doesn’t drink blood. It’s the question everybody asks.
The image on the cover perfectly depicts how you would imagine she looks.
Overall this book is a lot of fun, easy to read with humour you can identify with. A book for all readers
