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!

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 […]
