The Best Thing About Summer Break
Books, books and more books.
The best thing about summer break is the endless hours of reading. In our house, we have to call it summer break, not holidays, because my eldest thinks holidays mean we’re going away… and let’s be honest, no one can afford that.
All my money over the next six weeks will go on keeping the children amused, so reading becomes my hobby of choice. It’s also the perfect time to work through my towering TBR, which, thankfully, costs nothing.
Although, let’s be real, reading books and collecting them are two entirely different hobbies. 😂
If you’re looking for a summer read, I’d love to encourage you to pick up my new dystopian thriller, released on August 3rd.
The Water Plague
After a global collapse, Alicia wakes in a sterile facility alone, bandaged, and pregnant. Her husband Elijah? “Dead,” they say. But something isn’t right. The smile of her doctor never reaches her eyes. The windows don’t show the outside. And the truth is being carefully controlled.
Close, but unseen, Elijah wakes to his own nightmare: forced labour, psychological torture, and no sign of the woman he loves. The regime behind it all? A shadowy organisation known only as The Facility.
As both struggle to survive in separate cages, whispers of resistance begin to rise. Old allies reappear. Secrets are traded. And beneath the surface of this perfect order lies a web of lies, corruption, and something far more sinister.
They broke the world. Now they’re trying to rebuild it with obedience, control, and fear.
The Water Plague is a tense, emotional dystopian thriller about love, survival, and the fight to tear down a system built on lies. It is the best thing I have ever written and I am so excited to let you all read it.

Then the rains came. First, it was a slight flood, but the rain never stopped. Before anyone knew, the whole world was underwater. - The Water Plague
