about me

I can be contacted privately at hudson_melissa@rocketmail.com

I am a foster carer living in Surrey. I love my job and have had lots of placements over the past five years. I also love writing and have been working on two crime novels over the past three years.

One of them, Lessons in the Dark, is posted on this site. I am hoping to get some enlightening reviews - it will be fascinating, and hopefully not too disappointing (!) to read other opinions of my work.

I'm always up for a read swap so feel free to message me.

Wow, I'm can't believe I left this masterpiece sitting on my list of books to read for so long - this is a muli-layered story with so much depth and a rich appeal. Written with skill and power.

Lucy, I agree with one of the comments below - I was hooked by the first line too. What is so special about this book is the originality of the MC - I became fond of Arthur before the end f the first chapter. Your narrative bounces along jauntily and carried me with it. You have a real way with w... view book

Hi Debbie, Fabulous idea for a children's story - it's one that would really make them think too, about how easy their lives are!

You swept me along with lots of emotions - I was so sad when grandma died and so fearful of all that is to come for the young Maria. Your narrative flows really well and I think you've pitched it j... view book
