Fleur Philips' I AM LUCKY BIRD is an intensely gripping, deeply emotional literary novel, telling the heart-wrenching narrative of its young protagonist, Lucky Bird, after her mother AnnMarie mysteriously vanishes, and her childhood comes to an abrupt end. Left alone to defend herself against her suddenly abusive grandmother, Marian Bird, and forced to endure the twisted predatory game played out by Marian's lover Tom Cressfield, Lucky's life soon descends into a nightmare. Even when she manages to escape, the outside world can't take away the brutal images of her past. Still haunted by her mother's disappearance and the trauma that followed, Lucky is easily led down a path of self-destruction, a path that only the intervention of a handsome young stranger and his family seems to offer any hope of guiding her away from. But first, she will have to confront her demons, and the dark truths that they kept hidden... I Am Lucky Bird has made it onto the 2011 list of finalists for ForeWord Reviews' Book Of The Year Awards- surely only the first of many awards to come!

Literary

It's 1857, and the four teenage May sisters are enjoying an endless round of parties in the colonial town of Shivapur. When a violent rebellion breaks out, they take refuge in an isolated Indian village. Each changes in her own way as they adjust to a new culture, but they all begin to question England's right to rule India. As the rebellion ends, the sisters return home to take up the threads of their old life... with a difference. Soon they discover that their mother has matrimonial plans for them- plans they are determined to resist.  Louise May Alcott meets Jane Austen in this hilarious blend of adventure, history, and, of course, romance.
