“My ultimate goal is to break into the women's fiction market and steer it away from the stereotypically glorified woman that is most commonly portrayed today and replace with pure honesty instead. Not every woman in this world lives without regret, knows exactly what they want, and has the courage to put every essence of their being into achieving their dreams. Not every woman is inspirational to others. Not every woman can leave their comfort zone to better their future. But, so what? Does that mean a less strong-minded woman doesn't have an interesting story to tell? Definitely not.” Jessica Bell
“In Dead in the Corner of My Bedroom you bring us a story of life-changing decisions and frustrated ambitions amid the all-consuming minutiae of the everyday—themes readers will instantly connect with. Jane is an individual and quirky heroine, while her neglected aspirations, marital problems, and nostalgia for a time when she had a firmer sense of self are issues that will strike a chord with many female readers. The dark doubts and questions of Revolutionary Road are here too. You are skilled at evoking the quiet moments that lift Jane off the page for us, like her tender interactions with Tessa and the day-to-day pain of her uncertainty about her relationship with Max. The devastating events that come later in the novel are all the stronger for the attention you pay to the detail of Jane's relationships at the beginning. Dry humour and the lightness that Jane's love for her daughter brings lift the novel and let the reader in.” Cornerstones Literary Consultancy
