- - - The ‘Identity Detective’ series
- - - Rose Haldane, journalist and identity detective, reunites the people lost through adoption. The stories you don’t see on television shows. The difficult cases. The people who cannot be found, who are thought lost forever. And each new challenge makes Rose re-live her own adoption story, each birth mother and father, adopted child, and adoptive parent she talks to, reminds her of her own birth mother Kate. Each book in the ‘Identity Detective’ series considers the viewpoint of one person trapped in this horrible dilemma. In the first book of the series, Ignoring Gravity, it is Rose’s experience we follow as an adult discovering she was adopted as a baby. Connectedness is the story of a birth mother, her hopes and anxieties, her guilt and fear, and her longing to see her baby again. Sweet Joy, the third novel, will tell the story of a foundling, a baby abandoned, and how the now elderly woman is desperate to know her story before it is too late. Who is Rose Haldane?

I agree with… James McAvoy

James McAvoy “I’d rather be working in a green screen studio with a good script, than working in a beautifully realized physical location that has a bad script.”
[interviewed by Sophie Raworth on ‘The Andrew Marr Show’, BBC, May 25, 2014]

James McAvoy

James McAvoy? Actor: The Last King of Scotland, Atonement, the young version of Charles Xavier, the Patrick Stewart character in X-Men, and not forgetting Mr Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Why am I quoting an actor, not a writer? Because he supports good writing. And he likes superheroes. Each faces a human crisis, he explains: “They are all persecuted, they are all closeted, ghettoised…”

If you agree with James McAvoy, perhaps you will agree with:-
Lauren Owen – family relationships are very interesting
Barbara Taylor-Bradford – for me it all starts with a memorable character
Ruby Wax – I always ask the booksellers to look at me and recommend a book
