about me

I'm a keen writer whose one acheivement to date is a local pantomime script. I've put a couple of chapters of my first novel 'The Candyfloss Room' here. I finished the novel a year or so ago and didn't know quite what to do with it at the time!

I thoroughly enjoy being able to read other books on the site. There are so many talented writers out there!

The Candyfloss Room

Tracy Lyn Buchanan

Sarah has eloped and is now full of guilt. Does her cure lie with the lady, her granddaughters or an obsession with the dead girl?


Sarah has eloped to the town of Middleton with a man twice her age. He has now gone away to be with his dying mother. Sarah is left alone with her guilt.

She meets an elderly lady who is suffering with dementia and decides to assuage her guilt by helping her. She becomes curious about a photograph the lady carries of a young girl. The girl is Jenna Ralph the lady's granddaughter who killed herself years before.

As Sarah discovers more about Jenna's life she hopes it may help her own. She soon discovers that, in this new world she now lives in, nothing is quite what it seems.

It was a pleasure to read some of your stories. Little glimpses into people's lives. I thought you gave just the right amount of detail /background information to really draw the reader into the heart of the story quickly. This meant the characters were believable and the dialogue could be the fo... view book

I think your narrative is great - it kept me interested and made me want to read on. I also like the main character - she's portrayed very well. Tracy Buchanan The Candyfloss Room view book

I like your narrative style. Lara's stream of consciousness races along at a fast pace. It makes her character quite intriguing and definately likeable. Tracy Buchanan The Candyfloss Room view book

This is a very refreshing read. I found that it approached Christianity in a much more practical way than a lot of books do. It also answers many of the more obvious questions that non-believers have. It does exactly what the title promises. Tracy The Candyfloss Room view book
