I loved your book. What I liked best about it, apart from your storytelling talents, always so good - was the personality of the narrator. Everything is alive in this novel, and the plot and atmosphere vvvvvv good.

ANNABEL HUGHES
Annabel Hughes has been a feature writer, page designer and copy editor on newspapers and magazines for over 40 years: she has also worked as a scriptwriter on a wide range of multi-media projects and edited novels. She has a Cambridge University qualification to Teach English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) which she has put to good use in helping young overseas journalists to improve their writing skills and understanding of colloquial English. Her work in the print media ranges from interviews with celebrities to humorous first person columns and insights into everything from scientific discoveries to life behind bars.

I've really appreciated Annabel's help in turning my diary notes into a memoir of my political and voluntary activities and personal life. I'm now in my eighties and those diaries cover a lot of ground! It's been important to me to work with someone who's enthusiastic, reliable and totally trustworthy.
