Story Cartel & The Fussy Librarian...Tried Them Yet?

Friday, December 20, 2013



A writer’s job is never done, so today I’m on the promo wagon. Just a quick note to say that if you’re looking for a middle grade read, my novel Christine’s Odyssey is currently on Story Cartel and can be downloaded free.

2008 Bronze Medal Winner Young Adult Novel - Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) Creative Writing Competition


Raised in a hotbed of arguments and fights, eleven-year-old Christine Simms is always at the centre of conflict between her parents. With each new day and unfolding drama, she suffers through her mother's temper and cruelty. A domestic dispute ends in tragedy, sending the family into a tailspin. Christine's siblings become wards of the state and she is taken in by her father's sister.

A shocking discovery sends Christine on a quest to find the stranger who abandoned her in Jamaica and changed the course of her life. Determined to unravel the mystery of her birth, Christine uses every tool at her disposal and treads with courage where no child should.



Distraction is being featured today on The Fussy Librarian. If you like women’s fiction with lots of drama, this is the book for you.

Three Jamaican women walk a tightrope of decisions when their lives are derailed by blackmail, deceit and infidelity.

JUSTINE CHARLES, sensible and self-contained, battles an addiction which could destroy her marriage, reputation, and relationship with her daughter.

DIONNE JONES, an aggressive go-getter, takes risks that cut a trail of devastation through her family and business.

KYRA MILLS, struggling single mother, is crippled by debt, bad judgment and destructive choices.

Can two of the long-time friends survive startling revelations involving their partners? And will the other push her obsession to the point of danger?

If you won’t be out and about Blogsville beyond the weekend, Happy Holidays!
