Story Behind The Book
I've always wanted to write, but apart from Education articles and research papers, didn’t really get the opportunity. Life got in the way, as it often does. One day I woke up, got dressed, and was waiting at the bus stop to go to work, as I did every day, when I had a sudden epiphany: I was halfway through my life and had yet to realise my dream. So when I got to work that day, I quit my job, put my house up for sale, and wrote. Just wrote. Fake Profile, about social media and cyberbullying, is the result.
Reviews
"Unputdownable! I laughed, I cried, I was shocked and horrified. Well
written, fast paced - I kept forgetting to breathe I was so involved in
the story! A must-read for teenagers, parents, teachers. Thoroughly and
highly recommend it to all." Sarah Bourne<br /><br />"A fast-paced novel filled with characters that remind you of the cliques
at school that can haunt you for years after. It has you wondering what
more can happen but something does - a devastating, unexpected final
twist. This book describes the potential dangers of social networking on
the internet and mobile phones which have become standard modes of
communication these days. A must-read. Exciting to the finish!" Helena Ameisen
