Kim had begun to settle quite well into her new role as landlady of the Dog & Duck, even though there had been more than a few hurdles along the way.
With a divorce on the horizon, a busy pub and some great new friends, she was looking forward to making herself happier than she had been in years; although it was starting to feel like life had other plans....
Friendship is blossoming between Kim and Dean, the pub chef, but Dean has a secret...
Will Dean be able to share his secret before the cat is out of the bag and if he does will the truth hurt a little too much?

When Kim inherited a pub from her Uncle Frank, her first instinct was to take the money and run off with it.
Unfortunately, the idea of being a pub landlord appealed to her feckless husband Keith's over-inflated ego and so, off they went to make a new start.
Kim knew that whatever happened, as was usually the
case with Keith, it would be her carrying the (beer) can!

Tarts with Darts
Tarts with Darts
A story about friendship through circumstance. A group of straight-talking, fun-loving ladies brought together by their local darts team; each with their own personal stories. The team has some real characters; many of them larger than life, like the outrageous, and often hilarious, tales they tell. Each meeting is a real episode of scandalous story-telling and raucous laughter but the painted-on smiles, for some, hide a very different truth.
Pat and Jude each have their own private struggles – Jude has a wayward husband and an even more wayward son, whilst Pat secretly battles the abject loneliness of being a widow. The public joviality does well to mask these troubles until Pat and Jude start to grow increasingly worried about Ruby, the young girl who is clearly becoming a victim of her boyfriend’s aggression. The bond that forms as a result of Pat and Jude’s shared concerns, leads them down a path of real danger that will test their unexpected friendship to the max. This a touching story of courage, loyalty and true friendship with moments of fun and shared laughter thrown in – just like life itself…

Worried Sick
Worried Sick
An autobiographical account of living with emetophobia, its impact on everyday life and the anxiety it can cause.
Looking for the humour in difficult situations can sometimes help to alleviate the stress - laughter is often the best medicine!
This is not intended to be a self-help book; more a recount of one, slightly frazzled, middle-aged woman's, haphazard path through life, and her absolute resolve to stay positive and look for the good 'stuff.'
