Blurb
When dreams and reality crash and mingle, escape can be the hardest challenge of all.
Longing
to get away from her troubled marriage, the opportunity to cross
America by train seems like a dream come true for Vita Craythorne.
But charismatic travel agent Moriarty Miles has other ideas; by
replacing their mutual friend Jack on the trip, Vita has unwittingly
set herself up as a guinea pig for Moriarty’s mind-blowing and
potentially dangerous virtual-travelling project. His plan is to give
clients the holiday of a lifetime without ever having to leave the
comfort of their own homes. It’s exciting. It’s time-saving. It’s
innovative. Maybe this trip is just what Vita needs? That is, if she
can avoid becoming trapped inside her own, miraculous dream world.

Bio
After
years of searching for the perfect job, I think I’ve finally found
it in teaching, especially since changing to part-time hours to leave
more space for writing. Let’s face it, where else do you get paid
for reading stories, playing with glue and paint and making small
people laugh? Over the years I’ve child-minded very contentedly,
taught cycling proficiency (forgot to mention at the interview that I
was still learning to ride a bike, but they found out quite soon),
stamped books in a library, sold second-hand maternity clothes,
dabbled in mental health care, to name but a few of my jobs.
When
I’m not marking books or writing, I spend far too much time on
Facebook talking to other, much cleverer writer people. I also blog
as part of The Romaniacs online writers’ group. These are the
ladies that make me laugh and keep me sane when I think I’ve run
out of steam. My ultimate dream is to have children’s books
published too.
The
rest of my non-writing time is taken up with running Upstage – a
children’s drama group – cooking, eating and walking off the
damage. I live with my husband and deranged cats in South Derbyshire
but, sea-starved in the depths of the Midlands, I can often be found
striding over the Quantocks or wandering happily around Brighton
visiting my two daughters and pretending to collect ideas for my next
book.
