A journey of experimentation and sexual awakening set in Spain. Saffron, a young twenty something, leaves behind the grey skies of the UK to embark on a road trip. Her mission: to blot out the pain of a devastating love affair. She encounters a country still in the grip of those first heady years of freedom, a fledgling democracy in place and where the peseta still reigned supreme. What ensues is a journey of hedonism and excitement as Saffron embarks on a series of affairs and dangerous relationships. From travelling Rock bands to polygamists and conmen on the run, nothing is ever what it seems. Despite her intentions to 'Find herself' she is drawn instead to some less salubrious characters as well as certain mind altering substances that do little to clarify her thought patterns. An attempt to open the doors of perception gives us a bizarre glimpse into the world of hallucinogens in a place aptly named 'Sodom and Gomorrah.' No matter the twists and turns the story takes: travel, adventure, drugs, sex and passion; at its core is the absence of the one person who pushes the story to the end. Love, loss, friendship and tears; from moments of darkness to laughter and comical encounters; Saffron eventually realises there is one person you cannot escape from; yourself.

How the story began... I've always loved creative writing and from a young age would spend my time writing short stories. As an adult I continued writing for myself and finally found the courage to send some articles to a local paper, which were subsequently published. I also enjoyed writing a blog and some angst poetry. I began writing more seriously around five years ago after trying my hand at some Erotica after reading an article on the benefits of being a writer of this particular genre! This led me into my novel as I started to express myself as a woman and my own personal experiences in life. I just found I could not stop writing and found it to be a hugely cathartic experience-the only drawback being, reliving certain experiences as you write means you also experience the pain. What are my aspirations as a writer? To achieve fulfillment doing something I love and recognition in some capacity- Of course, who wouldn't want to enjoy some fame and fortune while we're at it? However, something as simple as knowing people have enjoyed your story or been able to empathize with certain characters or situations; to think I've put a smile on someone's face or raised a laugh, all that would be hugely satisfying. I currently live in Spain, where I've resided on and off since 1986, with my two daughters.
