![]() Some time later I read it out to my writing class. ![]() No, her illness progressed and she passed away from ovarian cancer in 2006. But, you couldn’t finish it at the time, when she was ill? Someone and something close to your heart. I wanted to make her smile with my silly tale of Mavis and Dot – because they were our invented personae… we used to love hunting around auction houses and charity shops together and we called each other Mavis and Dot. It started off as a short story I wrote for my best friend, who was very ill. Despite being very different, they form a friendship and lots of adventures and mishaps start from there. The story is about two eccentric ladies of a certain age who retire to the seaside and then find they are lonely. Mavis and Dot took me over twelve years to write. ![]() Since we last spoke you have published another novel but it is not a straightforward telling of a story? ![]()
