My new book Picture Me Now is quite different to anything I’ve written before, however some canine and feline characters manage to find their way into its pages!
It is a book set against an existential/metaphysical/environmental theme. Her is the blurb from the back of the book:
An awkward and socially clumsy artist stumbles upon a possible connection between a stranger and a painting. Both become an obsession, threatening the life he has with his wife and daughter.
Does he have a connection with the woman?
Will regression by a hypnotherapist provide the answers he is searching for?
And will that stop the dreams which are haunting his sleep?
Set against an environmental theme, this novel examines the concept of life after death and whether connections could be re-established across lifetimes.
Perhaps there are times when we catch a glimpse of someone, and we know for sure deep in our heart that our worlds have been connected before.
This book is for people who believe this to be possible.
It is also for those who question such things.
I hope it is enjoyed by readers – I certainly enjoyed writing it. Please get in touch and let me know what you think 🙂

I am an author and a lecturer in veterinary nursing and companion animal welfare.
I've now written six books and a vegan cookery book: A Dog Like Ralph, Lilac Haze', 'A Soldier Like Jack', and 'The Diary of a Human and a Dog (or three!)'
The vegan cookbook is imaginatively entitled 'Vegan Cookbook'! I love animals and despise any form of animal cruelty. I've been vegan since 2002 — my only regret about this is that I didn't become vegan sooner. I dream of a world in which there is no human or animal suffering, one in which governments across the world take seriously (and act upon) the threats posed to our fragile environment and its people and animals.
I live with three dogs and love spending time with them and my husband and son. Like most writers, I love to read, and particularly like to read books about animals. On here you’ll find some reviews of books that I’ve read and loved in which animals are the main focus.
My first non-animal novel Picture Me Now (although some animals do creep into its pages), presented a new challenge for me in that I had to delve into the depths of my imagination much more that I had to with previous books. I loved getting lost in another world!
Please get in touch and let me know what you think about my books.
