ABOUT THE BOOK*:
Sonia yearns for sharp objects and blood. But now that
she’s rehabilitating herself as a “normal” mother and mathematics teacher, it’s
time to stop dreaming about slicing people’s throats.
While being the wife of Melbourne’s leading drug lord and
simultaneously dating his best mate is not ideal, she’s determined to make it
work.
It does work. Until Mia, her lover’s daughter, starts
exchanging saliva with her son, Mick. They plan to commit a crime behind
Sonia’s back. It isn’t long before she finds out and gets involved to protect
them.
But is protecting the kids really Sonia’s motive?
*This novel contains coarse language, violence, and sexual themes.

Questions for the Author:
Where is the setting for this story?
It's set in Melbourne, Australia. Lots of places I mention really exist, but many are fictional too, such as a café called Roxy's. It's location, The Docklands, is real, but the café is not. But that's the beauty of fiction, isn't it? We can do what we like with it.
Did a particular event inspire the novel to be written, such as a news article or?
No, I actually started off with one character (Nash) in a situation that didn't end up being the focus of the book. All of my novels grow quite organically. I'm never really sure where they are headed in the beginning.
