Our featured debut author this month is Cary Bray, author of the brilliant novel A Song For Issy Bradley. Carys has shared her top ten tips for writing for budding authors.
The Bradleys are a devoted Mormon family who are struggling with the loss of their youngest daughter, Issy. Ian Bradley retains a steadfast belief that he can rebuild their lives and overcome grief if he stays committed to his faith. His wife Claire has retreated completely from family life and abandoned faith and the hope of her life ever being happy again. Siblings Zippy and Al are exploring their teenage years. Then there's Jacob: aged seven, he believes in miracles and wants above everything else to bring his family back together again.
Shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award and selected for the Richard and Judy Summer Reading Book Club, this is a novel which speaks to parents, sons and daughters and anyone who has faced grief and asked the question of how to go on when a loved-one is gone.
