Friendships

P-M has always had a love for reading, something shes had all my life. She found that opening a book took her into a world where she could escape from reality for awhile.

While her work career took her into the finance sector, her love for words always remained. It seems she always had a flare for the written and spoken word. P-M always felt she had a book in her, and now was the time to put it on paper.

Friendships, P-M's book, takes you, the reader, into an eye opening adventure with warm relatable characters, people whom you could live next door to, who could be your family members. P-M's writing has a natural ability to draw you in and make you feel one with her novel. Whether you feel love, sadness, empathy or laughter, you will fall in love with her writing, and always want more. At least that's what P-M's lovely friends and family have told her. You'll need to judge for yourself.
