Tina Pritchard

After a life dedicated to bringing up a family, taking a social science degree, working as a lecturer, a trainer and more recently an independent celebrant conducting funerals, weddings and naming ceremonies, Tina addressed her burning need to write a novel. Her first book, In A Deep Dark Wood, reflects her belief that scratching below the surface of ordinary lives can reveal a rich seam of material. She enjoys reading books about regular people with regular lives who, very occasionally, have terrifying and momentous things happen to them. Tina loves to write and has won competitions for both her short stories and her poetry. She lives in a beautiful part of the world and gains much of her inspiration from walking her badly behaved terrier Horace in the Derbyshire countryside. Louise G, Reviewer Netgalley Riveting stuff! This is a detailed story which is more than a mystery - the psychological impact of the original incident on the protagonist is fascinating. Who is to know how we would react and how the experience would change us over time? Very dark at times, this is clever, well written and perfect for fans of psychological thrillers.
