He never comes back. Months later, an unexpected phone call puts you and your daughter in unimaginable danger.  Even if he were still alive, your husband can’t save you now.  He told you way too many lies for that. When I started reading In Too Deep I wasn’t sure what to expect. All I knew was that I was intrigued by the blurb and the mystery of it all. And that no matter what I had to find out what was going on. There were many possibilities in this story, but the actually reason, the actual story was not one that I was prepared for. I was truly led down the wrong path and that made the reveal all the more sweeter. But that was probably […]

Guest Post: ‘From fashion to crime: writing both ends of the spectrum’ by Corrie Jackson, author of Breaking Dead

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for Breaking Dead by Corrie Jackson with guest post From fashion to crime: writing both ends of the spectrum. I loved this book (check out my review), it was so much better to what I was expecting and I was hooked. And I cannot wait to see what happens next. Below Corrie talks about how she moved from fashion to crime and its a fascinating piece. And don’t forget to check out other blog stops for more exclusive gossip 🙂 From fashion to crime: writing both ends of the spectrum: Over a decade on women’s magazines has given me a front-row view of the fashion industry in all its Technicolor glory. I’ve interviewed Kate Moss while Alexander McQueen pinned clothes onto her post-baby body. I’ve watched seamstresses craft couture dresses that cost more than my car. I’ve spent 24 hours in Milan with an Italian style icon who owns two apartments: one for her…and one for her wardrobe. Fashion really is the stuff of dreams. But, like any billion-dollar industry, skeletons lurk […]
