READ ALL ABOUT IT....JANUARY 2016
Meet Liverpool journalist Francesca Fox who is just about to embark on the biggest story of her life, which might just change her own. Set in my home town of Liverpool this story was inspired by the Kelly Clarkson song 'Dark Side' - especially the line 'Everyone has a dark side, can you love me, can you love mine?' It got me thinking about love and how things aren't always straight forward, the things we keep hidden from others and about the baggage people carry around with them. There is also a strong link with the Titanic in this book, it's something I've always been interested in and the beautiful White Star building in Liverpool was a great place to set a lot of the story and also for my Hollywood actor, Luke Danes to stay in. There are some slightly darker themes in this book than any of my others and a particular subject close to my heart, but I wont spoil that for you - however, there are still my usual one liners in there too! Thanks to Louise Taylor for my amazing front and back covers - I love them! |
FRANCESCA FOX - Our heroine. She is a successful journalist looking for the new story that will lead her to promotion at the Liverpool Post
She has a rare journalistic integrity (although maybe not so much in her personal life) and when she lands on the story of her life she has a decision to make.
Is she still Frankie, the girl she used to be or does the women she's grown into, Francesca call the shots?
She goes on a real journey of discovery and like with a lot of the characters in this book is hiding behind a mask.
She absolutely rocks the pencil skirt though!
