While God Was Sleeping
available on Amazon Kindle at £1.99
So, after redrafting, repeating and repeating, I have published my debut novel, While God Was Sleeping. It’s had 5-star reviews and folk have asked if there is a sequel.
Maybe …
Here’s the synopsis:
Meg Muirhouse, a seemingly quiet spinster teacher, gets a second chance at life. She once avoided risk and conflict through her fear of loving too much. While God Was Sleeping – a tragi-comedy – peeks into three generations, linked through a heart transplant and the machinations of errant Angels. With a light touch, the writer shows how we all shimmy around being honest with one another. Meg’s unrequited love needs justice, is she up to the task? Will her widowed mother give her the space to spread her wings?
Meanwhile, Meg’s mother, Aggie, is trying to find her own space and escape her self-sacrificing daughter, who clucks around her like a mother hen. She is playing with Ned under her daughter’s nose, but her daughter sees nothing, imagining her mother is too old to still love.
Angela wants to escape her relationship and fulfil her potential while Daniel is stifled in a ladies shoe shop. These two are connected in ways nobody would imagine.
It takes a tragic accident to reset all their lives and give them a shared purpose.
If you love Liane Moriarty you will love this novel. It’s humorous and compelling.
Hope that grabs you by the short and curlies …
