First book has now launched!

We are thrilled that our first book, 'My F in Life' has just been published! This is Jaye's debut novel, which is a hilarious comedy about friendship, family and fresh starts, which is set in the Scottish Highlands. 

It's an uplifting, fast-paced story that tackles the challenges of middle-age and it will have you laughing, crying, and wondering how many Fs rule your life too. So what's it about? Please see more below!

Jaye never expected everything to fall apart when she turned fifty, but Fs are back in charge and ruining her life again.

Fitness… Her spare tyre’s self-inflating but she’s allergic to exercise, unless it’s wine bottle unscrewing where she’s fast becoming an Olympic athlete.

Frustration… Why has her soulmate of 30 years shacked-up with his young, blonde, skinny (except for his baby-bump) mistress? 

Family… One child has flown, the other two are flapping their wings, and Jaye’s left hugging the half-empty biscuit tin and her precious stash of chocolate.

Friends… Bestie Didi is fun with a capital F, but she’s pushing Jaye into online dating, reinvention, and ridiculous risk taking. 

As Jaye fights to hold everything together, she’s forced into deciding whether to return to her safe but imperfect life, or explore a new frightening (or is that exciting?) alternative. 

This hilarious, sharply observed novel is perfect for fans of fans of Jill Mansell, Fiona Gibson and Milly Johnson.
