About this author

Shalini lives in Dorset, England with her husband and two noisy boys. Before children, she was signed to Universal Music as a singer songwriter.

Now, writing novels has hijacked her life and she is usually to be found with a laptop welded to her fingers and the house in a permanent state of neglect.

Thanks Andrea! Maybe I should've put a few more copies up for grabs.

As if I could hate it! As I said in my review - you did so well not to fall into the 'middle book' trap - even some 'famous' authors manage to fall at that hurdle - and I'm now positively gagging to see what happens next!
