My 7th book, GingerSnaps, is in the shops NOW… and judging from the feedback so far, you’re liking it LOTS!!! If you haven’t read the book yet, check out your local bookshop and get yourself a copy… and let me know what you think!
Some bookstores released GingerSnaps early, so a few lucky readers have read the book already… this is what you think so far!!!
