Author of 'Ripper, My Love', Glynis Smy, is celebrating the launch of her second novel today. 'Maggie’s Child' has been born into the world of ebook and paperback.
When farmer’s wife Maggie
Sawbury gives birth to her fifth child, the only one that has lived and the
result of an extra-marital affair, she is heartbroken and desperate. Maggie
knows her joyless life with a bully of a husband is not one a child should endure,
and she leaves the baby at the roadside to be found by passers-by.
Her money-driven husband
announces he has found her another job in the village of Redgrave, aside from
the many tasks she has on Windtop farm. He is totally unaware the position comes
with a secret. One that frightens and yet brings joy to Maggie. She is to
become wet-nurse to her abandoned child.
Love, and the possibility
of incest, threaten to open old wounds, and Maggie has several decisions to
make. However, will they be the right ones? If she tells all she knows, it will
bring about the destruction of three families. Equally, her silence could be
just as destructive. She shares her secret with another, the result changes her
life, and a death brings with it more secrets. Will Maggie stay or will she
walk away and find the love she craves?
The ebook will be available at a Christmas - New
Year price of 99c via
Amazon

Glynis Smy, (nee
Honeycombe), was born and raised in the coastal town of Dovercourt, near
Harwich, in the county of Essex, England. She married her school sweetheart,
Peter, in 1979 and they produced three amazing children, Darren, Nicola, and
Emma. The long hours of a nursing career, and running two pharmacies ended in
2005, when she and her husband moved from the UK to the Mediterranean island of
Cyprus. Glynis spends her time writing historical novels, poetry and various
other projects. When she is not tapping at the keyboard she makes greeting
cards to sell for charity, or enjoys a spot of cross-stitch on the back porch.
Failing that, she and friends sit chewing the fat over a glass of village wine.
