Having to take a break. I will return eventually!


Dipping my toe in the water.....
Both feet in, and the water feels fine so far......
Kids are happy building sandcastles and I'm happy paddling in Authonomy...

Swings and Roundabouts

Dora

Who is the young woman on the bridge? Will the old man save her? Where will it lead? Love, Education, or Death?


Sandra is in an unsatisfying relationship and dreams of love, adventure and babies.

Kelly has found love, and dreams of an enormous white wedding.

Claire is a student who spends more time in the library than at the bar and would like to let her hair down more.

Claire, Kelly or Sandra? Which one of them ends up ready to jump from the bridge and why?

Friendship and understanding can be found in unusual places, as the journey through a year in the life of these three young women shows. What you dream of, may not be what you truly want.

This wouldn't be my usual type of read but I can see it is well written with a good story that draws the reader in. It would be something I might buy for my husband. Happy to make space on my shelf. Best wishes Dora. view book

Sheryl, I have read the first few chapters and you have me hooked. Unfortunately my computer will not let me open any chapters after CH4 at the moment! Don't know what that's about. Anyway this book deserves it's place in the top 5, will come back and read more when I get chance. Great story, gre... view book

Great ideas, brilliant endings to your first couple of chapters. Poor Alice, I hope the mother gets a serious comeuppance later on! Post-life choice facilitator.... great! The humour that runs through is really good, your ideas made me smile. What a lovely read for the YA audience (and some adul... view book

A really enjoyable read, which will cross from teens to adult readers. Great ideas in there, the ghasts having chance to have solid form for a few hours a day and how disrespectful it is to run through them when they aren't solid. I like the excerpt from a book at the start of some of the chapters e... view book
