It Takes A Moment To Realise
“The music is coming from me? I’m humming. I didn’t even notice.” Lauren Miller Trust me, it doesn’t work out for Lauren and Jake, and the one thing they can never do, is come home.

A ghost wind unsettles the windows and rattles the doors. Here I am, working on Book Two, late into the night, and far away from home.
