Ellie Campbell is a pseudonym for sisters, Pam Burks and Lorraine Campbell, who collaborate from the UK and the USA - a 5,000 mile commute reflected in their horrendous phone bills. Their novels 'HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR SISTERS' and 'WHEN GOOD FRIENDS GO BAD' are published by Arrow Books and a third 'LOOKING FOR LA LA' is also available on Amazon.
Story Behind The Book
A wonderfully warm and witty debut novel about family secrets and sibling rivalry. The four MacLeod sisters are no strangers to sisterly rivalry and with one of them about to be married, there are bound to be fireworks. Perfectionist Natalie wants the 'wedding of the year'. Harassed mother, Milly, just wishes her bridesmaid's dress wasn't the size of a tent. Career-obsessed Avril secretly moons over a married man and world traveler, Hazel, the youngest, yearns to be taken seriously. Forced together for the first time in years, and with an unexpected guest stirring up old resentments, squabbles are inevitable. But when tragedy strikes things really fly apart - as some shocking skeletons emerge rattling from the crowded MacLeod closet...
