The first chapter from my novel, A is for Angelica, published by Legend Press. 'A first novel that confidently moves from dark comedy that’s genuinely funny to even darker despair that grows from moving to harrowing… really impressive’ The Daily Mail ‘An oddly addictive and often hilarious read… Presented in uncomplicated, unembellished prose, this is a brilliant and adeptly written debut novel, loaded with poignancy and feeling.’ Time Out "...a brilliant dark comedy, with beautiful moments of pathos."
