Life Imitating Art
A lovely reader who lives in an independent living complex for older people invited me to talk and read to her neighbours. Fifteen seniors turned out and we had a wonderful afternoon discussing everything Kendal related.
Just how I’d imagined Jurassic Court, the retirement complex in the centre of Kendal Acts Up.
On April 27 I’m reading to the wonderful residents of Cinnamon Luxury Care in Ferndown. Keen to hear what they think of what Kendal says about Bournemouth…
Book Clubs
My pickleball pals are keen to ask about Kendal Acts Up.
So started a book group. Only one member of The PIckleball bookclub has been to one before.
We’ve had our second meeting. They didn’t like one of the biggest selling thrillers as much as Kendal Acts Up!
Happy to visit your book group if you want to ask questions. I don’t mind criticism.
Some people loathe comedy. I get that.
SELL OUT AT WATERSTONES SIGNING
Best selling fiction signing at Waterstones (they said). A chance to meet and chat and read on a busy Saturday. Coming to Dorchester soon.

Loved this book. So funny and amusing and shocking at the same time.
Kendal, a character who you’ll disapprove to begin with of but will slowly start to warm to and cheer her on her journey.
Who knew lying about your age could get you into so many hysterical knots?
A superb book that takes you from the chaos of London to the calm of Dorset which is symbolic of the main characters life. Relatable and likeable characters... amusing and poignant plot... excellent first book from the author. Will there be another? I hope so as there is so much more to explore with the characters next stages in life.
This is a fun book that I loved. It's very well written and the action carries you along fast. It's colloquial, racy, super-modern and zany. Yes, you do have to suspend disbelief sometimes, but you do so very happily. Heartily recommended.
Five star reviews on Amazon.
Beach of Dreams
Over 100 visitors, locals and paddleboard protestors answered my questions and created flags to express their hopes for a better West Bay on the Jurassic Coast.

Makes me nervous but I do it anyway. Introducing other writers, organising writers’ talks, reading my stories, writing plays (well, two so far) and collaborating with shops, libraries and fairs.
