Excerpt
Prologue
Alissa
When your whole
world implodes and in the matter of hours and your happily ever after turns to
dust, life sucks.
I’m left holding
the baby. Literally.
The baby being my
eleven-month old daughter, Nora, who knows nothing of her father’s failure to
be a decent husband… man… well human-being really. He’s a shitty person and
that’s all there is to it. Our story started out like your typical fairy-tale.
Goosebumps still prickle my skin when I remember the way he chased me
throughout Senior school, and the years of romance that followed. And the
proposal and wedding? Just call me Cinde-fucking-rella. But my perfect life
came crashing down as quickly as that pink line appeared on the pregnancy test.
Apparently a tired, puffy and hormonal wife didn’t exactly make my husband’s
dick stand to attention. So, in a move I can only imagine was driven by his
little head (and I do mean little,) he decided my ex-best friend was a better
option.
That’s right I said
ex because before she did the dirty with my husband she was the best friend. I
told her everything, confided in her and cried on her shoulder about my
non-existent sex life and all the while her own sex life was heating up with my
husband. Weekends away on ‘business trips’ and doing all the things a wife
should be doing with her husband. Except she was his slutty side piece with a
big fat mouth and a huge spent pussy the whole football team had ridden so
often they called her the local bike.
Yeah, I’m bitter
and I don’t care. I’ve been wronged by the two people I trusted the most. Now
I’m a single mother with no social life to speak of, and my only conversation
is in baby gobbledegook. I actually look forward to the delivery woman ringing
the doorbell when I order groceries online. Yeah, I have them delivered. Have
you ever tried juggling a crying baby and a shopping cart while concentrating
on what comfort food you plan to stuff your face with that night while crying
over chick flicks? Yeah, I’m miserable, it’s obvious, right?
Author Bio
I was born and bred in East Yorkshire England, and I still
live in my hometown, with my husband and children.
My journey with stories began when I was just a child, I
would often scribble down wherever my dreams or imagination took me.
My journey with writing stories, began much later when I
became ill and housebound for a period of eighteen months. I decided I would
escape real life and become immersed in a story of my creation. With the
support of my husband and family my first real story was born. I would stay up
night after night tapping the keys of my trusty laptop, while my husband lay
sleeping beside me. I was hooked. But it wasn't as easy as that. My story
needed work. A lot of it. And it sat on my computer for some years after that.
Later on I decided to embark on another journey. I went to university, where I
studied Creative writing and english literature.
I then decided with a new wealth of knowledge that I would once
again delve into the world that I had created. I had never forgotten the
characters and would often think about what I would have liked to have done
with them over the years. I had grown to love them for getting me through a
very difficult period in my life, and I wanted other people to read all about
them. And so I began to rewrite my book.
It wasn't until I delved into the 'Book world' on facebook
that I discovered the 'Indie book world.' It's amazing! So many authors are now
being heard publishing this way, and I can only hope that my books will leave a
lasting memory for some or all of you readers too!
