Set in 1980s England, it's a novel about growing up and how an unhappy childhood can have a huge effect on one's life as an adult. It's about a girl trying to make her absent, alcoholic father love her. It's about looking for love in all the wrong places and believing you are not worthy of love and how this will often press the self-destruct button. It's also about how alcoholism runs in families. And yes, it's about fame and celebrity, but it's not your usual tale of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. It's mostly about life and how you can't have everything.
This is the first book I wrote and I self-published it as a POD in 2004 under a pseudonym. It was simply called Dreams.
I write mostly fantasy and paranormal novels, but this is a realistic novel based on some parts of my life. But it's not really me. I was never famous. I just dreamed that I could escape my crappy life at the time by chasing my dreams. I suppose I'm still chasing dreams, though I am no longer the girl in the book. I've moved on. Older and wiser and all that.
I'm sure many readers will identify with the themes of this novel and I hope that I've managed to capture the 80s era reasonably well. I'm a bit younger than Nicola too (just a little bit) but the 80s were my time.
