about me

I was born when I was very young on a day I don't actually remember. It was quite a while ago so I am a woman of a certain age and like to write to cheer us all up, we can all dream can't we?

I live in Hertfordshire with my family.

Georgie's Choice

Joy Taylor

Georgie has chosen but what will the grown-ups do?

Georgie wants a mum and who better than Helen his new teacher?


Made redundant from the only job she’s ever held, forty-something librarian Helen Farley takes a temporary job in her sister’s kindergarten where, on her first day, she’s selected for the position of new Mummy by Georgie Twist.

Georgie’s father however has never been smitten but Georgie may have a point. Struggling with work, a wayward aging mother and flying beans he now finds he has to cope with an elephant dancing on his lunch, is this what love feels like?

And Helen, ruled by her sensible side, fights to the bitter end with the rest of the circus to control her own feelings. Add to this a shy shepherd hound, a snorkel clad mermaid and a cat in the airing cupboard, life may never be the same again.

Georgie’s Choice will make you cringe, cry and laugh along with them as they cringe, cry and cope with the cliches. So curl up with a mug of something warm, put your feet up and watch them sort it out.

If this had been written by a celeb, the term misery memoir would apply but I have just read a concise recollection, sometimes in fine detail, of extreme circumstances overtaking a normal, probably formerly happy, girl. What saddens me is, this is true life and it could happen to anyone. I deal in... view book

At still only five chapters Silent Dove has certainly delivered what was promised and in such a clipped easy writing style, which manages to say a lot with the fewest words: “dull thrumming of rain on the cobbles,” for example. The etiquette of the time is well observed, as are the descriptions of ... view book

This is so easy to read, we can more or less decide who to like and dislike from the start. I read it in order but the idea that I will be able to follow just a single character at a time before the gathering of the principles at the end is novel and I think it’s going to work. I hope this does ... view book

So we watch the doors close on the set of Corrie and think we know what it’s like to live in the North West of England. Some of us study history and try to apply it to the closed doors but none of us can actually know until someone has the courage to open a real one and allow us to peep inside. Yo... view book
