Verity Writes Again - Mann, Maria

. .

Résumé :
The long awaited sequel to Verity Red's Diary (A Story of Surviving M.E.) continues with the wit and humour of Verity undiminished, as she takes each day at a time, in her wry and inimitable way. Beautifully illustrated by the author, Verity does indeed 'Write Again'. She still loves a chocolate treat, watching Coronation Street, collecting stray cats that appear on her doorstep, and Christmas gift catalogues that appear on her doormat. Her new love is sending text messages from her mobile phone, and she is going to learn to love jigsaw puzzles. Verity's diary begins on 1st September, because in previous months, all her precious energy has gone into writing a book (Love & Best Witches) and getting it published. The proof copy is about to arrive, but she's not sure it's such a good idea any more. Somebody might actually read it, after they've briefly flicked through, glancing at the illustrations. What will they think of it? Will anyone want to read a book about a witch who has M.E.? Christmas gift catalogues have started to arrive with the post, and she is looking forward to curling-up under a blanket of warm cats, while her fingers do the walking.

Biographie:
An artist, songwriter, singer, percussionist and lover of all creatures; Maria has been writing uplifting, perceptive (and sometimes magical) books inspired by her ongoing experience with M.E. / C.F.S. for over 15 years. Daily life with a condition that tries to steal away one's very life-energy can be hard of course, but her biggest strengths are her wit, humour and 'way of seeing things'. Her books are always full of these attributes and a joy to read for anyone, regardless of their own situation. Maria's main character, Verity Red (Veri Tyred!) fizzes, sizzles (and occasionally flumps) through each day, in a diary form that one reviewer of her first book described as 'Bridget Jones meets Adrian Mole'.
