So here it is - At Last!!!

Last Note!!

It’s the final catch up with all of the characters you first met in Take Note!!

People just like you and me - all connected by one single £10 note!!

Like you and me - we all have a story to tell - so as the £10 passed from person to person we got to know each of them!!

People became invested in the lives of the characters - so much so that readers asked for more!!

So a few years later we went back to see what they had all been up to!!

And voila - Note Taken!

The characters lives have now spanned over 10 years!!

A lot has happened - just like for us!!

They make great Summer reads!

A great big thank you to Gold Wind for their continued support and belief in me and my writing- my mam Joan Bell for reading and re-reading Last Note! And a special thank you to Lynn Dawson!!

Introducing Cushie Butterfield!!

I’m not really sure how Cushie came to be written. It was a case of opening my laptop - blank page and off I went!!

The story must have always been there because it was written in a matter of weeks!!

Is there a bit of me in it??? Of course!!

She has a funny ‘second sight’ thing - I do too on occasions!

She can read Tarot Cards - I have been known to dabble a little!

She had loved and lost!! Haven’t we all??

Its mainly a story about family and friends - friends that become family and family that are no longer your friends!!

For me Cushie Buttetfield is one of my favourite books - I leave it with you to see if it becomes one of yours too!!

Everyone says that you can’t write a book without putting a little bit of yourself into it!!

Years ago when I gave up being a taxi driver - hung up the keys for my alter ego Driving Miss Daisy - Show Me a Sign was one of the first books I wrote!!

The heroine has a lot of my quirks!!

She is superstitious - something my mam thinks I picked up from spending so much time with my Grandma Florrie!!

Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about whistling indoors - killing fairies when you sneeze and holding collars and looking for 4 legged creatures when you see a coffin!!

Val in the book also has her things - she looks for signs - like me!!

Theres a lot of me in the book - I’ll let you decide for yourself which bits!!

What I will say though - its a lovely read - I hadn’t read it for donkey ages - it made me cry which is bizarre when I actually wrote it!!!

For anyone who doesnt know - last year me and my grandson Freddie published a book together called Eddie the Elf!!

‘Who Said That???’ Is a book that Freddie challenged me to write!!

We were out one day for one or out ‘walks and talks’ and he began to talk about reincarnation - as you do when you are 9!!

But he specifically wanted me to write something about Freddie Mercury!!

The book isn’t about reincarnation - its a bit more of a fantasy than that!!

It is the story of teenage boy who finds himself with a lot more time on his hands as the whole of the UK goes into lockdown with the arrival of the Covid 19 Pandemic!!

After inadvertently watching a dvd of his 4 year old self at his school nativity play - something stirs in him and he has a memory of an imaginary friend!!

That friend was Freddie Mercury!!

‘Who Said That??’ Is a read for any age - it has a bit of history in it as Billy learns about other people who have connections to famous dead people!!

I think Freddie’s challenge was met and I am sure it is a little story you will all enjoy!!

Never Judge a Book by it’s Cover ….

I have self-published 4 of my books on Amazon!!

They aren’t perfect but I have done my best to keep the prices down for printing costs!!

The covers are simple - theres a black one a blue one a red one and a green one - the covers may be simple but I think each of the stories are great!!

I will be introducing each of the books to you - attach the links to Amazon and hopefully you will read them and spread the love!!

At the moment there are only paperbacks but I will venture into the world on Kindle in the coming weeks!!

As well as buying from Amazon I will be selling the books myself so will post details about how and where you can get them!

Thank you to everyone for the continued support and for enjoying the stories that have made it out of my head and into a book - there are so many more to come x
