Oh and I have thoroughly gotten into my latest book, The Ascension of Sarah Mallory - watch this space for updates and snippets.
Here is a little bit:-
I steeled myself for a
bout of reminiscing. Normally I was more than happy to talk about my gran or my
dad with him, but right then I had more pressing things on my mind.
“She told me a story once.
I didn’t really believe it at the time – your Gran was prone to a little
embellishment if she thought it livened up a dull tale – but later, much later,
I saw that it was true. Well most of it anyway.”
Despite my urgency to help
Sarah my interest was piqued. “What was it about?” I asked.
“Well you see that’s the
funny thing. Because it was about your Great-Grandma, Emily’s mother, but it
was also about you.”
“Me?”
“Yes Jess, you.” There was
a note of such sadness in his voice that I almost wished he would come out with
something ludicrous, something that would mark one of his rapid slides into
dementia and I would be able to dismiss everything.
