She has launched a new book, Rose Doran Dreams, which is a psychological fairy tale.
Rose escapes from her lonely home life into magical stories that she and her strange, fantasist neighbour Paedric create. But as she begins to lose her grip on reality, her imaginary world becomes more beguiling and disturbing than real life. Can she ever wake up to find her true self again?
It is a ‘psychological fairy tale’ for adults, and tells the story of a young woman who loses herself in stories as a way of escaping from her unfulfilled marriage and loneliness. Together with her next door neighbour, Paedric, she creates stories that are more and more fantastic, until finally they create an imaginary child. It’s a story about the power of dreams, and how reality can become distorted.
’This is an utterly original, vivid, gripping, and sometimes disturbing, read.’
