When Imogen and Anna unexpectedly inherit their grandmother Vivien's ice cream parlour, it turns both their lives upside down. The Brighton shop is a seafront institution, but though it's big on retro charm it's critically low on customers. If the sisters don't turn things around quickly, their grandmother's legacy will disappear forever.
With summer fast approaching, Imogen and Anna devise a plan. Rather than sell up, they will train up, and make the parlour the newest destination on the South Coast foodie map.
While Imogen watches the shop and conjures new marketing ideas, her sister flies to Italy to attend a gourmet ice cream-making course. But can their best-laid plans survive their warring family, tempestuous love lives - and the great British Weather? One thing is for certain - this summer will be like no other .
Being a writer gives you permission to go into an imaginary world and spend time with people you’re curious about – it’s an adventure every day. It’s when I think I know my characters really well that they’ll throw me a curveball and do something I didn’t expect. I try not to take writing too seriously, as playfulness and making mistakes are an important part of making a story come together. Writing is what I’ve always wanted to do – when I was little I was always scribbling, up at my desk early in the morning, filling notebooks with stories about mouse detectives and haunted lighthouses, and it’s the same drive that gets me up at my desk now (that and a mug of coffee, that is!).
So, the writing part is the first stage of doing what I love – the next part is sharing my book with readers. In other people’s hands and minds, the story you’ve been living with then takes on a new life, where readers bring their own imaginations to the page and conjure up the story you’ve written in their own personal way, giving it a whole new life. I really enjoy getting feedback from readers, especially hearing which characters they connected with and why.
