In the aftermath of a brutal car crash, Doris Cassidy begins to mourn the death of her husband. From her hospital bed, now a young widow, she contemplates the rest of her life alone and depressed, no longer able to share memories with the only man she ever loved. Until a doctor reveals a shocking surprise to her - she's pregnant. And she's due to give birth at any minute... Just as she realises the car crash was caused by her mysterious stomach pains, Doris goes into unexpected labour and gives birth to a child she instantly despises. Unforgiving and hateful, and on the brink of insanity, she has no intention of being a dutiful mother to the baby that took everything from her. Which is when she names the baby Charlotte...

At the age of seven, I fell in love with the written word. Since that fateful day, I've dreamt of writing my own novels. In April 2014, twenty-five years later, that dream finally came true. Writing is, and always has been, my passion. I revel in creating characters, unique worlds, realistic environments, and situations and stories that hook the reader. Reading stories of this kind inspires me so returning the favour has always been important to me, as a writer and a fan of literature. I'm also a co-director at Dark Chapter Press, an English-based horror publisher, so pop over to my website for more information, including a fan club, the latest submission calls and new releases.
