She shares her 'study' with the washing machine and ironing board and writes her novels in any spare moments she can squeeze in between the day job and her social network addiction . She started writing fiction in 2005 and her short stories have won several awards and been published by a variety of women's magazines. Her debut novel Heaven Can Wait has been translated in 13 languages and was voted 'Debut Novel of the Year' by chicklitreviews.com and chicklitclub.com. Home for Christmas is her second novel.

So wonderful is this anthology that the Spudling wrestled my copy off me when it arrived (I'm so not kidding - that's him in the photo below, intently examining the cover!).

Cally Taylor gave to: The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett read in March, 2012	My rating:
A fun read. More of a novella than a novel. Very tongue in cheek with a dry wit. Didn't see the ending coming!

Cally Taylor gave to: The Help by Kathryn Stockett (Goodreads Author) read in March, 2012	My rating:
A fabulous read that kept my attention all the way through (which isn't easy when you're the sleep deprived mum of a 5 month old!). The voices of the characters were authentic and endearing and I enjoyed the way the author switched POV. Recommended.
