Just Popped Out

So where the heck is she?

Not because she trusts her mother-in-law. Quite the opposite.
Funny, sharp and quietly unsettling, Just Popped Out is a story about family secrets, identity, assumptions, and the women people stop really seeing.

Just Make a Note
Di has spent years keeping track of everyone else.Then a stranger gives her a notebook.For once, she starts writing things down just for herself.And it turns out Di has rather a lot to say.
Di is the woman who remembers everything.
Appointments. Shopping lists. Things the children need. Things Rich has forgotten. Things she absolutely must not forget herself.
Then a chance encounter on a beach leaves her with a notebook, and somewhere to put the thoughts she usually keeps to herself.
What starts as a private habit becomes something rather bigger than Di ever intended.
Funny, warm and sharply observant, Just Make a Note is a story about finding your voice, being seen in unexpected ways, and discovering there might be rather more to you than anyone, including you, realised.
