Life as a journalist/vicar’s wife directly inspired the author’s first three books: Cinderella & the Three Wise Men, Accidents Waiting and Press Ganged. This time, in a series of short stories, the focus moves to the possible secret background dramas of the people she – and probably all her readers – meet or bump into in everyday life. And this time, the inspiration behind the fiction?
