BROKEN LIGHT

Imagine if Carrie White had suppressed her paranormal ability.
Imagine she had a normal life - a husband, a son, a house, a job in her local bookshop - not an especially happy life, but hey, you can't have everything.
Now imagine her powers emerged, not with puberty, but with MENOPAUSE....

That's it. That's my book. BROKEN LIGHT, coming out May '23.

“Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.”
Joanne Harris, Chocolat

“I let it go. It's like swimming against the current. It exhausts you. After a while, whoever you are, you just have to let go, and the river brings you home.”
Joanne Harris, Five Quarters of the Orange

“Children are knives, my mother once said. They don’t mean to, but they cut. And yet we cling to them, don’t we, we clasp them until the blood flows.”
Joanne Harris, The Girl with No Shadow

Martin Evans Hi Joanne,

Thank you for being my friend. I see that you are from Barnsley, well, I'm from Morecambe. So, we're not too far from one another. I hope you had a great Christmas and a even better new year. Last year I published my first novel The Pocket Watch Killer. Hopefully one day you'll get to read it and if you do please let me know what you think. Well, my imaginary friends and I are busy writing, so, we must get on. I hope everything goes well for you in this new year and you have a great time doing whatever you do.

Kind Regards

Martin
