- - - 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… Ruby Wax

Ruby Wax “I always ask the booksellers to look at me and recommend a book; 9 out of 10, they get it right; it’s usually a book about someone dysfunctional. To me bookstores are like brothels of imagination, each book is luring me over going, “Read me, read me.”
[Ruby Wax, talking as part of the Booksellers’ Association ‘Books Are My Bag’ campaign in support of UK high street bookshops]

I totally get what she means. Books are not inanimate objects! Check out the Books Are My Bag campaign here.

If you agree with Ruby Wax, perhaps you will agree with:-
Barbara Taylor-Bradford – for me it all starts with a memorable character
Rose Tremain – in a sense, writers live their lives twice over
Jane Smiley – setting a daily wordcount encourages the words to flow
