Red's Peril Part 2 - Mellett, Manda

. .

Résumé :
Oh, the decisions we make when we're young which with age we come to regret. If I could have a do-over, I'd never have walked away. But I did. It was done, and my actions couldn't be taken back. I was only twenty, and I believed I had time to find my special one. Then life threw me a curve ball that altered all my plans. The result being I could never forget the man I'd met so briefly on the road. The question of what would have happened if I stayed with him is constantly on my mind. What would my life have been like if I'd been braver? What if I hadn't walked away? Would I have ended up a weary thirty-five-year-old croupier in a Vegas casino with no man by my side? When fortune offers me a second chance, it comes with strings attached. The man I'm attracted to is the prez of the Satan's Devils MC, whereas I'm a law-abiding citizen who's never broken a single rule in my life. Is there any way we could make a future together? Or should I run and never look back?

Biographie:
Manda's life's always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she's still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman? There isn't enough space to list everything that's happened to Manda, or what she's learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she's met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected. Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area's claim to fame being the Wilkin's Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter. Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.
