"In the third part of the Writing Sisters series, we meet Jade Love. She is Britain's most beloved romance author, about to embark on a book tour celebrating her bestselling medieval series featuring Sir Drake and Lady Cecilia. With her entourage in tow, Jade travels around the country in a luxurious minibus, greeted by adoring fans at every stop.
Yet behind her public smile, Jade struggles to savour her success. Each champagne toast serves as a bitter reminder of her own disastrous love life. Worse still, the secrets she has desperately kept hidden are threatening to surface. Jade is convinced her career would crumble if the truth emerged. After all, who could possibly love and respect her if they discovered the broken, lost soul behind the bestselling name?
Astray is a warm and at times dark story about finding the courage to reveal your true self, imperfections and all. This captivating read reminds us that we are indeed our own harshest critics - and that perhaps our flaws make us more lovable than we realise."
"For as long as Katie O'Farrell can remember, she has dreamt of becoming an author. Along with her three university friends, she formed the Writing Sisters quartet, each promising not to give up until all four were published. But as her friends' careers flourish, Katie's rejection letters pile up, and the pressure from their social media success becomes overwhelming.
When an email sent to the wrong person turns her world upside down, Katie makes a drastic decision: to log off completely—from both digital life and the world beyond her door. Only in the silence that follows does she contemplate whether her dreams are worth pursuing at all. She vows never to write another word, but what about that secret story that has been begging to be told since childhood?
Logged Off is a charming, witty novel about authorial ambition that asks: Must we always be connected? What happens when social media becomes too much? And most importantly—is true friendship strong enough to forgive anything?"
