John was a personal friend of mine, and although he published his book a year ago, I have to admit, rather guiltily that I have only just found time to read it. I feel especially guilty, in fact, because John offered to allow me to read his "unpublished manuscript" about a year before he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and subsequently died. What an opportunity missed.
The book starts shakily. As a writer myself I know how hard it is to start a story. The first few chapters...Bethany Askew is the author of eight novels:
The Time Before, The World Within, Out of Step, Counting the Days, Poppy’s Seed, Three Extraordinary Years,The Two Saras and I know you, Don’t I?
She has also written a short story, The Night of the Storm, and she writes poetry.
Two more women’s fiction books have been accepted for publication in 2020 and 2021 respectively and she is currently working on a new novel.
In her spare time she enjoys reading, music, theatre, walking, Pilates, dancing and voluntary work.
Bethany is married and lives in Somerset.
