Who do you think would most appreciate "The Girl Who Made Me Sing"?
The book is aimed for individuals who feel trapped by their low self-esteems and looking for help. It reminds them, never to give up, and that sometimes magic happens and fairy tales do come true.
What inspired you to write a novel about a young man who aspires to sing a song that uplifts those around him?
Having been brought up in London, watching countless of west end shows and movies. I loved the feeling, of leaving the theatre very emotional, and I wanted to portray that in the book.
The story is about never giving up on life. Ok, the story is based about love, but it's deeper than that. I use the power of music, to break the protagonist free from the shackles of his misery, which lives within him.
The story is about never giving up on your dream: on life. Thomas the character from the book, has lost his way, and trapped in a abusive relationship, which was also fueling his low self-esteem.
