    Craig Donovan

    After spending 5 years editing B13 magazine in Birmingham (UK) I finally finished my debut novel, The Wrong Girlfriend, which was published in December 2012. I am now delighted to announce the publication of my second novel, Letters to Rosemary, and a short Christmas story entitled Brakelights. Praise for The Wrong Girlfriend: 'It's a fun read that leaves you with a smile on your face' 'This is a book men and women will enjoy' Praise for Letters to Rosemary 'Just the right mix of intrigue, comedy and romance'
