Cally's Secret available on amazon.com from 30th January 2013
Pull up a chair and I'll introduce you to the main characters in 'Cally's Secret' my debut novel.
The picture you see here was one of several original drawings done for me by my good friend Jane Amos, a talented lady.
A tale of life, love and unforseen life changing events in the lives of two couples. Paul and Cally Walker, Mike and Sarah Wells, and the catelysts that bring about the changes Daniel Le Fevre and Dawn Willis.
Cally has been avoiding pregnancy like the plague for her entire married life, but unfortunately she has a lousy memory and forgot to take her pill. However, that's just the tip of the iceberg as far as disasters go, she slept with another man (Daniel) and some five months later finds she's pregnant and she doesn't know who the father really is!
Paul, her husband is not the man she married, he's almost doubled in size and he never stops eating! He is both delighted and peturbed by the news of the pregnancy. You see he saw his wife leave a nightclub in the arms of another man, and to make matters worse she didn't come home that night and he never told a soul. His mother, Agatha is the mother in law from hell, and she can't understand why it's taken her daughter in law so long to get pregnant.
'God gives us our relatives thank god we can choose our friends.' Ethel Watts Mumford
Sarah is Cally's best friend and she's married to Mike. They met at Cally and Paul's wedding and followed them up the aisle some 6 months later. Hardly a marriage made in heaven, and there's a skeleton rattling in Mike's closet. Dawn, his mistress of fifteen years, he knows he should have come clean a long time ago about that and the other secret he's been keeping for years.
I guess you could call him spineless, you see Sarah is desperate for a child, one she has no hope of conceiving because Mike also forgot to tell her he had a vasectomy before he married her!
You can't really blame Dawn, because she's been nagging at him for years to come clean about the vasectomy hoping she will get the prize she deserves. To have Mike for keeps instead of having to share him with Sarah!
Daniel lives in the top floor flat belonging to Dawn's father. He's a glamour model for the Calvin Klein Corporation, tall, bronzed sex god, and as if that weren't enough he's French! Very ooh la la! Half the women in the district have been through his bed, and if the rumours are correct Cally is no exception.
'Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive.' Sir Walter Scott
But nothing in life ever goes according to the 'big plan.'...
