I LOVE murder mysteries...Poirot, Miss Marple, Diagnosis Murder (Don't even start me on my weird Barry Van Dyke crush - that's a whole other blog!!) in fact I spent last night at the theatre watching Agatha Christie's "Above Suspicion" - It was fab.
So I suppose it was inevitable that I would try and write one myself. I can't tell you exaclty what the inspiration behind BETRAYAL was, but I do remember being 15, watching the film WILT (Where Griff Rhys Jones dreams of murdering his wife) late one Friday night, then not leaving my bedroom for the whole weekend while I sat down and wrote...and wrote...and wrote - the end result was a 40 page story called Thicker Than Water - A whodunnit.
Fifteen years later - Thicker than Water is now BETRAYAL and almost three hundred pages long. The characters and story have been in my head for almost half my life, so it kinda means a lot to me...I find myself emotionally attached to my characters, fortunately the people that have read it so far seem to get attached to them too (Which makes me feel like I'm not a total loon!!!)
Betrayal is full of glam, beautiful people, cos why not?? It's a bit of escapism, a bit of a bonkbuster and a bit of murder too. My main hope for any of you lovely peeps that read it, is that you get swept along on the roller coaster too and all the twists and turns. Don't forget you can get in touch on here and also the FB page - would love to know people's thoughts on it! ;O)
As for Love Overboard...well there's no murder on that one YET...could think of one or two characters I'd like to send overboard!! - Will tell you the story behind that one another day ;o)
Big Love,
