"When I was a little girl, someone gave me a copy of a book called The Adventures of the Wishing-Chair. The chair grew wings and could fly away to other worlds. I started using books for that very purpose from a really early age. Books helped me to endure, learn, navigate, believe, imagine and hope. It also made me realize that the world I was growing up in was not the only one out there and I could use words as wings in my own way too. I still have a really old copy of it although I haven’t read it in decades."

Dangerous Lady ( Maura Ryan 1)
By Martina Cole
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No one thinks a 17-year-old girl can take on the hard men of London's gangland, but it's a mistake to underestimate Maura Ryan: she's tough, clever and beautiful - and she's determined not to be hurt again, which makes her one very dangerous lady.


This is brutal! It’s a reminder of how brutal Martians early books were! This is a reminder that family values have consequences the mistakes we make as humans and as mothers have the effect on our children, especially in a hard environment. I love her work especially these earlier books.

An exciting read from start to finish
The basis of this book as an immersion into a Virtual Reality computer game that takes you back to 80's computer games and tabletop role playing. It takes you on a journey that mixes virtual reality with a contest of a lifetime, whilst keeping a grounding in good old fashioned reality. It is one of those rare books that is worth a re-read
