My Novel: Pivotal
"Brilliant debut novel that is truly inspirational reading and exciting!"
I’m delighted to say Pivotal is out now! Published by Hashtag Press on 17th October 2019, it reached the finals of the People’s Book Prize 2020, Page Turner Awards 2020, and is still receiving multiple 5* reviews. Of course, like most writers, my ambition is to reach as wide an audience as possible and for Pivotal, to be a resounding success. A bestseller turned blockbuster, why not?
