Local author Pamela Buxton, whose garden in The Mint is often used for fund-raising events, writing under the name of Pamela Holloway, will be signing copies of her first published novel, “A Different Kind of Life” in the Rye bookshop (Waterstones), High Street on Saturday September 30 between 12-2pm.
A brief synopsis may tempt you to buy the book: ” When eight year old Fiona’s beloved father dies, she is left to look after the wheelchair-bound mother and younger siblings.
She holds the family together over the years despite the odious Mr Leonard who gradually insinuates himself into their lives with ultimately devastating consequences. A teenage Fiona has no choice but to abandon her family and her old life in the early hours one morning and step into an uncertain future.
Will she find peace and fulfilment as she tries to cope with the loss of her previous life and grows into a young woman while pursuing her artistic talent.”
Pamela is looking forward to the publication of her second novel next spring/summer which will be ‘Claire’s Story’. Who is Claire the reader might ask? Buy her first book, at the signing event and it will become clear.
