Prepare to laugh until you cry

Christmas Chaos

Dog poo in a hood, Lidl gossip gone wild. A Christmas dinner that ends in disaster. For Marianne, this Christmas is about to get messy…

Marianne is broke, frazzled and one mince pie away from a breakdown. Between her two chaotic kids, a husband she’s not sure she can trust and the dreaded in-laws descending for Christmas dinners, she’s barely holding it together.

Enter her two friends:

Lottie - loud, embarrassing and utterly unfiltered with a knack for making bad situations bearable.

Patsy - wealthy, polished and just a little bit bitchy…but even she can’t keep control of this holiday season.

From apple-preserving disasters (don’t ask about the crotchless pants) to goats invading the kitchen, nothing goes to plan. And when an inappropriate Christmas gift gets unwrapped in front of the family, Marianne is certain the festive season is ruined forever.

But maybe, with a little help from her friends (and a lot of mulled wine), this might just be the Christmas she remembers for all the right reasons…

Slightly Married, Mostly Mental

Three women, each juggling hilariously chaotic lives and all three with different problems in the bedroom,

 

Marianne Married a long time and looking for passion, in fact anything that makes her less of a 'practical option' with Jaffa cake in her hair and ham on her slippers and more erotic temptress, expert in tantalising impromptu dance - with a scarf - that itches.

 

Lottie Her boudoir is decked out in every contraption to satisfy her quest for the ultimate sexual pleasure that does not involve a bath in Dettol afterwards.

 

Patsy Perfect in every way apart from her deep seated fear that her philandering partner is beyond her reach. What was once a sexy arrangement now feels like a fob off.

This laugh out loud novella is laced with eye wateringly funny escapades and witty banter that will have you snorting your tea out your nose.

 

But beneath the raucous romp there are entrenched worries and desperation.

 

This is a short novel, perfect for busy women who want a quick funny read with emotional depth to bond you to these characters and their journey through the chaos of family life and friendship.

Welcome to the ultimate domestic disasters origin story

Meet The Mums

Three mums. One frog commune. A toddler group toilet disaster.

This is how it all began...

 

Marianne is broke, pregnant and one embarrassing incident away from a breakdown. Her 'dream' cottage is riddled with dead man juice, her toddler eats from bins and she's just managed to flash thirty children in the local school too.

 

Enter Lottie, loud, unapologetic and prone to oversharing her sex life at top volume.


And Patsy, perfect, wealthy and just a little bit bitchy - with a porch full of roses and an opinion on everything.

 

Together, they're an unlikely trio. But from frog-infested cottages to toddler group humiliations, this chaotic beginning sparks the friendship that will carry them through every disaster to come.

 

Meet the Mums is a laugh-out-loud short story prequel to the Domestic Disasters series - perfect for fans of Motherland, Marian Keyes and anyone who's ever felt one step away from chaos.
