What Kind of Mother?
To be published by Boldwood Books on 11 August 2026
A year ago, I kissed my three-year-old daughter goodbye before a short work trip and promised I’d be home before she knew it.
But I didn't come back.
When I went missing, everyone searched for me but eventually they had to admit the worst: that I must be dead.
And maybe the woman I was did die.
Because now I’m back, finally home after surviving the unthinkable, and nothing fits anymore. Will life ever be the same? Can I be the mother my daughter needs after so long away? And after everything I’ve been through, can anyone ever trust me again?
My latest book with Boldwood Books,
'The Child We Lost', was published on 25 February 2026.
What would you do if your lost child came back? If his twin sister is convinced she's seen him?
Ruby's twin brother, Josh, passed away a year and a half ago in a horrible accident. Ruby's five now and finally seems to be settling down again . . . until she comes out of school one day insisting that she's seen Josh walking past her school playground. Is it just another stage in her grieving process? The overactive imagination of a little girl who misses her brother? Or . . . is there actually something going on here?
