Dottie is back, and life couldn’t be more chaotic.

Husband Henry is hundreds of miles away in Scotland, drinking whisky on a work “jolly”, leaving heavily pregnant Dottie to move house to a quiet village, on her own with two young children. When Dottie goes into labour three weeks early it’s a race against time for Henry to make it back for the birth of his new daughter.

Once the proud parents are back at home with their new addition – who surprises everyone by being a boy and not the girl they were expecting – recently promoted Henry continues to travel up and down the country, leaving Dottie struggling to adjust to village life. The other villagers seem a little bit on the snotty side – although that could be because when Dottie first meets them she has dyed her children green. So when she accidentally hears her neighbours’ conversations over the baby monitor, she can’t help but use the information she hears in her quest to build new friendships.

But of course, we all know that earwigging doesn’t end well, and when Dottie discovers two of her neighbours are having an affair she’s horrified. Worse still, she soon finds out the locals are convinced she’s the one who’s doing the cheating. It’s up to Dottie to clear her name and expose the real cheat – in her signature haphazard way!

We love Dottie from Survival of the Ginnest, which we interviewed you about. Tell anyone who hasn’t read that book about her.
Dottie is a mother of two (nearly three). She says what everyone is too scared to say when it comes to parenting. But she’s kind, and really does just want everyone to be happy.

Survival of the Ginnest (a novella) and ‘Survival of the Christmas Spirit‘ (a short story) are both Dottie books.

What genre are these stories, and who are they aimed at?
Contemporary Womens Fiction.

Parents, and anybody wanting a light hearted, true to life, laugh.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a mother of two who just loves to write and make people laugh. I live in Lincolnshire with my husband and the kids -I drink gin and am a little bit addicted to social media.

So are we. Tell us where to find you.
