She started writing in 2005 while on maternity leave – her first baby was a good sleeper. She started Shmoo in 2009 but during the following year her parents’ health quickly deteriorated and they died within 3 months of each other. Writing helped her get through it but Shmoo became darker.Despite sending Shmoo to around thirty literary agents she only received polite rejections. However, being determined to the point of pig-headedness, she decided to self-publish rather than leave Shmoo on a dusty shelf. Thank you for buying this book. It means a great deal.See www.catrionareeby.comview less
