It hung reliably in the blackness above Will Turnbull and Nessa Grier who sat side by side on a bench as the leaves fell around them, landing softly on the thick, wet grass. Their knees were just touching, hearts pounding hard.’ Nessa Bruce waits for her husband to come through the double doors. She’d waited for him to return home from Afghanistan for what felt like forever, and now the moment was finally here. But Jake isn’t… Jake Bruce hasn’t come home, and it looks like he never will.

Guest Post: Q&A with Saskia Sarginson, author of The Other Me

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The Other Me by Saskia Sarginson.With a Q & A with Saskia Sarginson. The Other Me is quite a suspenful read and for those who love their thrills and spills and love questioning what is going on then this is the book for you! (you can check out my review here). Remember to check out the other stops on the tour for some great content! Below Saskia has very kindly answered some of my questions, so just keep scrolling… Can you in five words describe your book to those who haven’t read it? That’s incredibly hard!

After walking my three dogs in the morning, I sit down with a coffee to write for about five hours. I don’t stop for anything if I’m on a roll. No phone calls or lunch or putting a wash on. Only strict necessities like having to […]
