Some Secrets I Want to Share ...

I spent this morning answering questions for an interview with a top blogger who has interviewed well over 4000 writers, but more on that interview at a later date.
But some of the questions, Fiona put to me had me really thinking not just about my novel but also my sequel which is at present with my publisher's, (Tirgearr) editor.

So below are some secrets about my novel, My Husband's Sin for your enjoyment.

Fun Facts About My Debut Novel

1. The scene in the novel where Sally recalls childhood memories of time spent in the Zoo is based on truth. My children loved going to Dublin Zoo, we held a family season ticket, and on one of the trips, they chased a mouse from one enclosure to another with other children joining them. They ignored all the wonderful animals around us and loved the mouse. 
2. The solicitor, Philip Sherman's love for Ginger Nut biscuits are indeed my own favourites.  
   
3. I was inspired while attending a funeral to write my book. I was standing by the graveside when the thought of family secrets first crept in to my head.
4. The working title for my novel was A Thorn in My Side, but when my writing friend, Marie O'Halloran was reading the manuscript, she said "There's your title", pointing to the words that Lillian Taylor signs off with in her letter.

BLURB

Instead of finding a toaster in the pantry, possible lunatic Earthling Shayne James, is sucked into a wormhole and dumped across the galaxy at the feet of Annu - a man looking for his past. Desperate for answers Shayne and Annu discover they're linked to the ancient Annunaki, and the only way for Shayne to return home is to succeed in an near impossible ascension ritual and defeat an evil God. Despite all the danger, what Shayne doesn't realise is that by the time she can go home, will she still want to or is it all in her head?

Here are some of my latest reviews for my novel, in case you are wondering if it's your thing, 😀

5.0 out of 5 starsmasterful
ByAmazon Customer on July 29, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition
A difficult idea to come to terms with, which I suppose is the whole point of the novel. What do we really know about each of the characters in the story? What do they know about each other? The author enmeshes us in the situation and it can be difficult to come up for air.
I was intrigued by the publisher’s description and carried on being intrigued as the story worked itself out, always going in directions I hadn’t anticipated.
A masterful piece of writing.

This book transported me to Ireland. I smiled, laughed and cried with this book. All I can say without giving spoilers is I loved reading this. It was my first book by Mary T Bradford and I’m now going to look for more. 4.5*

A brilliant story, that takes numerous twists and turns, 22 July 2017

By 

Avid Reader

This review is from: My Husband's Sin (Kindle Edition)

A story focused on an Irish family of four siblings who have their world ripped out from under their feet following the reading if their mothers Will and the journey this takes them on.
This book is brimming with strong characters who all have their story to tell alongside the turmoil they have been thrown into.
Demonstrating the strength of family ties and how no matter how well lies are hidden the truth always materialises in the end.
A brilliant story, that takes numerous twists and turns throughout
