Great review for She Should Have Come for Me 0
The IndieTribe , an independent books website based in the UK, gave “She Should Have Come For Me” a great review:
“She Should Have Come For Me is a brilliant, twenty three page novella which you will find extremely difficult, if not impossible, to put down.It is exceptionally well written and is concerned with the closed door relationship between two adults and their two dogs. It is a very unusual psychological thriller that has the reader clinging to every word of the narration…. Read the entire review on theindietribe.com

Where is She Now? – Short fiction for adults 0
Rosemary wants only to feel the calm promised in the hymns of her childhood, she wants to ‘lay down her burden and enter in.’ Cradling her green pocket book wrapped in an old green shawl, she wanders through her daily life with her husband Brian, her traumatized self, and her alter ego, the bossy and competent Anna. Something has happened in the past, centering on her baby, but Rosemary can’t quite remember what it was. And where is the baby now?
As she oscillates between rational and delusional spells she seeks validation and support from the inanimate objects around her, the cups on the shelf, the knobs on the bedposts, the books in the bookcase, and the houses lining the streets. In her conversations with them we see a Rosemary who is not quite as deranged as she seems, and a Brian, not quite as supportive as he would like to have you believe.
The book is set in a fictional amalgam of two small English towns.
