Debut Novel

Everyone has a use by.

Would you want to know yours?

Five friends take a test The Code to get their date of death. Spoiler alert - one has a really short Use By. You'll meet her before she dies.

Friendship. Dating. Impending expiration. Not quite a rom-com.

Five women. Four days. Three deaths. Two businesses. And a billionaire.  Well, he's just there for a hot minute. Oh, and Hope’s Mum - always there with some inspiration

The Person Behind The Pages

I’m a writer, a recovering CEO and a journalism student for about another semester, and in my third act. I’ve worked around the world, collected a few stories and finally finished the novel that had been following me for twenty years.

I really wanted to be a country-western singing sensation. The singing was a problem. So here we are.

My books may change genres. My happy cynicism tends to follow me everywhere.

P.S. I still can't sing.

Hi, I'm Pam

British born Canadian with an Aussie accent - go figure.

Question for the Book Clubbers

One prick of your middle finger.
Your date of death.
Would you do it?

No need to answer, but hey, did you think about it?

MEET THE BOOK

Women, wit, wisdom
& a deadline.

What do you do when your best friend draws the shortest straw?

​Five best friends take a test that tells them the day they’ll die. Jems has nine months. By the time she joins the others in London, she has two days left. Hope’s love life is still a mess, and Hope’s Mum has opinions about practically everything, in a good way.

 

Think Bridget Jones on a schedule. Without her diary.

​

With just four days left, Hope and the girls have a friendship to celebrate, a little chaos to manage and rather a lot of living to squeeze in. And Hope’s Mum has some opinions, to keep them all moving forward.

​

Friends, love, death, misunderstandings and the realization that life is short, it's how you use your Use By that counts. 

​

Tick Tok.
