It may be Sarah's first novel but she has been a prolific author of short stories in differing genres.
What's Expected about?
Sam Sweet is a failed
psychiatric nurse from a sink estate in Weston Super mare. Her mother, whose
husband ran off with another woman 20 years ago - although you'd think it
happened only yesterday - has only one ambition and that is to be a
grandmother.
But Sam is terrified of
giving birth. She is easily traumatised and has no ambition to return to the
sink estate and have dozens of children. She just wants a chance to do
something with her life first, to fall in love, to see a bit of the world.
Alas, in a drunken stupor she meets Simon - the psychopathic surgeon, who
promises her a wonderful life and she believes him - because she is a dingbat
and has a lot to learn.
Her latest job is injecting
facial fillers and clients are suing because it’s going lumpy. And her best
friend, also her boss, is sexually jealous to the point of blind rage because
her boyfriend fancies Sam and does little to hide it.
Sam is coping - by shopping
and over eating chocolate. But soon piles on weight and sinks deeply into debt, at which point Simon the surgeon
starts playing serious mind games; and by the time it dawns on Sam just what a
horrific mess she's in - well might as well pass her the JCB because she keeps
on digging.
Then as the company spirals
downwards and all knives are out for survival - a new MD is brought in from the
states – Joel – WOWEE - Madison!
Sam and he instantly fall for each other but...her mother is now going bonkers
- has booked the wedding....with the psychopathic surgeon....oh it's getting
worse.......fireworks? You bet....but that would be telling......

Sarah originally trained as a nurse in Sheffield (UK) and then went on
to work as a medical representative for nearly 20 years, specialising in mental
health.
She had always wanted to write fiction, but did not begin until around 8
years ago, prompted by a house move and relocation to the South coast. Since
then she has had around 140 short stories published, mostly in national
magazines and various anthologies; and most recently a 3 part detective serial
in Woman’s Weekly.
‘3am and Wide Awake’ was released in May 2013 by Alife Dog Fiction - a
collection of 25 thrillers, many supernatural or medically based - two of her
predominant themes.
‘Expected’ is Sarah’s first novel - a comedy launched by Crooked Cat
Publishing on 28th June, 2013.
She lives in Dorset with her husband, Don, and spaniel, Harry.
