about me

I'm in my early late twenties, from London (Sheffield originally) and I work in Employee Relations (lots of arguing with the trade unions...don't blame me when they strike and you can't get to work!).

I love reading and devour books. If it's good it'll be read in a day. My favourite genre is chick-lit, the type with a bit of grit and drama. Also like thrillers and anything with humour, but I'll read anything if it's written well. Also like online gaming - XBOX gamertag - silvachilla

Together Apart

Natalie Martin

Adam knows everything there is to know about Sarah, right? Wrong.


After a year of bliss, Adam's world is rocked when his live-in girlfriend rejects his proposal of marriage. After hinting at a secret from her past, Sarah remains tight lipped and determined to keep her secret hidden as they fall into the limbo of a break-up neither one wants.

A month later, having lived separate lives under the same roof, Adam stumbles upon a box of old diaries which he thinks will hold the key to Sarah's rejection. With Sarah fiercely protective of her past he sets out to uncover her secret. Why is she estranged from her family? Who is the mysterious 'Claire' and, most importantly, why did she turn him down?

As they continue to live together, yet apart, a series of events including the brutal murder of a face from Sarah's past collide, starting a chain reaction that could just be the catalyst for the truth to come out.

Together Apart is complete at 81k words, however the end is not posted.

~ Cover by the lovely DaisyFitz ~

OK Bel, I thought I best get on with reading this before it zips off to the Ed. I admit, I’m not a fan of werewolves so wasn’t sure what to make of this. Your pitch is good – not a teenager in sight! Fabulous. I really liked the opening chapter. There was no real way of knowing what era it was and I... view book

Hi Miles Sorry for the long overdue return read...of course these are only my opinions (which don’t really amount to much since I’m no professional editor) so take/leave what you like. I liked your opening chapter – not what I expected at all towards the end of it, I want to know who these peo... view book

Hi Desni Apologies for the late return read. Your pitch I liked, though it felt a little long winded in the second paragraph as some of the sentences seemed a bit long. I found it hard to keep track of the sentence ‘Aside from...’ though personally that’s because I like short, snappy pitches m... view book

Hi there Sorry for the delay with the return read. OK, so you have a very interesting title. I have no idea what it means or even how to say it, but it’s different and unusual and I like that. Your pitch is good, though the ‘civilisation has come to an end’ made me think – well how can there b... view book

Hi Deb Sorry for the extreme wait, but I’m back. I remember you asked me to take another look at this as you re-wrote it. Definitely liking this version! The new intro with Quinn works very well. It’s much more sexy than I remember and I loved the conversation with his mum, she’s a character ... view book
