Story Behind The Book
I am one of those unfortunate people that has things happen to them all the time. It's like I'm a crisis magnet. Over the years, many people have suggested that I write a book about my adventures. As I love writing, I thought, why the hell not. And, Fenella Fisher was born. A character, that uncanny as it may seem, has many adventures surprisingly similar to mine. For anyone who likes a laugh, and has escaped from sticky situations and marital abuse, then this book will be the one for you. “When I’m on my deathbed one day, I want to be able to say, I have lived my life to the fullest.” Fenella Fisher.

The reader can delve between the lines and the sexual jaunts to wonder at the thoughts and feelings of women and of their life choices. <br />All people take a left instead of a right somewhere in their lives and Fenella does just that on more than one occasion. Appearances and reality, charismatic personalities and the underlying human need; `to be loved', reveal a bitter sweet comedy of errors on Fenella's part. Many readers will laugh, many will raise their eyebrows over some of the frolicking, but most will finish the book hoping that love will conquer all for Fenella. A fun read with an underlying question for us all. Looking forward to Fenella's next adventure.<br /><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Jackie Collins meets International Schools</strong>, April 21, 2009</span> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top">By </td><td><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A3T6LWW002S54A/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Mr. Stephen M.

You will laugh and possibly cry as you read through the story of Fenella. I have to admit that she is one tough lady and nothing can seem to get her down. The story flows well and by the end it becomes a real page turner as you want to find out what happens to Brendan. It was interesting to learn about the people, events of Southern Africa as Fenella is a person that does not stay in a place for too long and always has a good story to tell. My advice: don't mess with Fenella. I'm looking forward to see how things turn out for her in New Zealand
