Fun Facts
Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to write. As a
little girl, long before I could write or read, I would sit on my bed with my
toys and tell them a story. Sometimes I would lose myself to the fanciful
thought that I was a ‘great writer,’ and with pen and paper, I would write my
novel. Not being able to write at the time may have put some children off. But
if I could make a mark on the paper, I was writing.
I used to be so scared of the dark that my parents bought a
radiator that gave out a soft red glow. The house didn’t have central heating,
I know, it’s incredible!
I have a twin sister. We are identical, and people still get
us mixed up today! Of course, like most kids, we used our likeness to our
advantage. Mum was once called into school because we kept swapping our name
badges round.
I am the little girl on the right
The perfect part of the day is that time in the morning when
there is no one else around but me. I sit hugging my coffee, watching the birds
swoop on the bird table. It is peaceful, without stress or thought and
indulgent.
I still have the teddy bear my dad gave me when he brought
mum, my sister, and me back from hospital. That bear and I have been through a
lot. I do feel, however, that I have managed to come out of our relationship
looking better (for the moment). His white fur (or what is left of it) is now
grey, and his little red paws are wearing away. His head wobbles to one side.
But he still smiles at me and sits proudly on his chair.

How far would you go to keep a promise?
In the heat of battle, one man's promise to another will be
tested.
September 1939
As Britain is gripped by the fear and uncertainty of war,
Tom Armitage stands to gain the one thing that he never thought possible - his
freedom.
Rosie Elliot sees her future crumbling to dust as Will
Aarons leaves Whitby with Jimmy Chappell to fight in the war. As she begins
work at The Turnstone Convalescent Home, Rosie finds something she thought she
had lost. Friendship. But friendship soon turns to love. Can this new love
replace Will?
This is not an ordinary love story.
It's a story of love, loss, courage, and honour.
Of promises that must be kept or risk losing everything
you've ever held dear.
