BLURB from Goodreads
The voice on the wind.
The presence in her dreams.
The feelings she can’t control.
Sixteen-year-old Melissa has been diagnosed with Survivor Syndrome, the guilt of having escaped from a car crash in which her mother died.
However, when on holiday in the rugged moorlands of the English countryside, she begins to see and hear things she can’t explain. And so she must ask herself: are these also symptoms of her illness? Or are they signs that her mother is reaching out to her from beyond the grave?

THIS OR THAT
THIS OR THAT
Which do you prefer? . . . . .
Books or Movies?
Both. I am an author and an English Literature
teacher
but I also have an MA in Film.
I guess I just love a good story.
Action, Drama, Mystery, Romance?
I love a really atmospheric mystery. Lies and
deception. Something lurking in the fog. The feeling of being watched.
Something to send a few tingles down my spine.
Read a book once/Re read books more than once?
If a book is good enough, I’ll read it over and over
again.
With some I just want to immerse myself back into that
world; whereas with others I enjoy unravelling the story again with a little
more insight and getting more
and more out of it each time.
Actually, I deliberately wrote Guilt Trip with
this in mind. The first time you read it everything is mysterious, unexpected,
even shocking; but the second time round you spot more clues and foreshadowing
and little moments of irony and can’t believe you didn’t notice them before.
Town or country?
Definitely country. For the past fifteen years I have
been living in the Netherlands - a lovely place, but incredibly flat - and
I really missed hills.
I guess that’s why I set my book up on the wild, rugged
moors of Yorkshire.
Shower or Bath?
Long, steaming-hot showers. Nothing worse than bathwater
gone tepid.
But obviously if there's a hot tub on offer, you’ll never get me
out of there!
Coffee or Tea?
Tea. Earl Grey - with milk (sorry to any purists out
there).
Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter?
All of them have something special to offer, but I am
particularly fond of autumn - the crisp air, the russet leaves, a blackberry
crumble warming in the oven. ‘Seasons of mist and mellow fruitfulness...’
Love it! I've always been a woolly scarf and ribbed tights type of girl.
Morning or Evening?
Rainy afternoons, curled up in an armchair with a good
book
or a black-and-white movie.
Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate or White Chocolate?
Dark and intense and as often as possible please.
Mild Cheeses, Medium Cheeses or Strong Cheeses?
After fifteen years of Dutch Edam and Gouda, I would have
to say any
- as long as it isn't waxy!
Flat Heeled Shoes, Medium Heeled Shoes or High Heeled Shoes?
There is a special breed of women somewhat akin to the
mountain goat (Beyonce, Katie Perry, Rita Ora etc) who can strut their stuff
magnificently in dangerously-vertiginous heels. But I am not one of them.
Sadly, I belong more to the ‘comfy shoe' brigade…
Bitten Nails, Natural Nails, or Nail Enhancements (ie
false nails) ?
Natural. Life’s too short to care about nails.
Wine, Beer, Soft Drink?
Now that I’m finally back in the UK, I am happily
exploring the
wonderful world of local ciders.
