Nefertiti belly dancer extraordinaire has lost her mojo and her life is slowly sinking into the sunset. At one time Nefertiti was a great dancer, now she runs belly dancing classes in a small Scottish town and her numbers are dwindling. Zumba has arrived and Nefertiti can’t compete. Nefertiti has fought and won line dancing; tap dancing even salsa classes; but Zumba has stormed into Lochgilphead and taken all but three of her pupils. Disappointed, Nefertiti takes to Zen yoga by the hydrangeas and annoying Rodger her partner and ‘rock’. She chooses to fight on and expects her ‘rock’ to follow; but Rodger has other plans. Rodger has turned into an ‘artistic recluse’ and no matter how many salutations Nefertiti performs he will never notice. Nefertiti could shimmy while skidding on black ice and wearing nothing but a toothpick and Rodger wouldn’t notice. He is too busy in his shed and Nefertiti is desperate to find out why.
Author
Back in the days before TV had remote controls and Scotland was known for the Bay City Rollers Kerrie left Australia on a working holiday and fell in love with many things Scottish, along with Belly Dancing. After years of teaching Belly Dancing, Kerrie decided to write some of her experiences down in her first novel Sheryl’s Last Stand. Kerrie creates for fun and for readers who like hope with a quirky, twist. A mature woman who has been around the block too many times to count; Kerrie doesn’t ‘beat around the bush’ when it comes to her characters. ‘I like them earthy, ordinary and believable. I like to throw them in at the deep end and see what comes up, hopefully a surprise for everyone.’ Kerrie uses her artistic humour to helps make the ordinary readable. ‘Why reach for the stars, moon and a six pack when the real mystery is staring at you in the Co-op? I see spice in the ordinary, compassion in the indifferent and farcical in the routine. I want to create believable, earthy fantasies filled with hope, fun and a quirky, twist of spice and I want to make people laugh out loud.’ In her spare time Kerrie likes to paint pictures of round women, dance under the influence of a glass of bubble and tell stories to whoever will listen. Kerrie lives in a small town on the West Coast Scotland and finds the local folk more than inspiring for the stories she continues to work on.
