Allison’s debut novel, Live or Die is out now.  Buy on Amazon

Sally was about to embark on a new chapter in her life.  She had overcome the adversity of losing her parents at a young age and was ready for a fresh start with her soon-to-be husband, Alex.

Their adventure begins in a cabin deep in the forest; however, things take on a macabre twist when Alex goes missing and Sally discovers a body. Sally realises she is stranded in the forest alone with no escape.

Desperate to survive, Sally summons all her reserves to hatch a plan to escape the forest, battling the elements and her exhaustion.

Her fight for survival takes on a new dimension when Sally discovers that she is not alone – someone else is in the forest, someone intent on making sure she never leaves!

“We have really enjoyed your story “Live or Die.” The storyline is original and engaging and Sally’s character is admirable, making the reader root for her survival all the way. Your description paints a vivid picture in the reader’s mind. I find it quite remarkable that this is your first attempt at writing a novel!”

This book includes practical topics such as fencing, choosing the right field shelters and essential equipment for the smallholding and caring for various animals, including donkeys, ponies, sheep, goats, pigs and chickens.

Covering a year in the life of a smallholder, this book will encourage readers to be mindful of the seasons and enable them to understand the essential jobs that must be done all year round to keep livestock safe and healthy and the land productive.  Only then can the smallholder enjoy a pleasurable and innovative lifestyle.

“This is great! I thoroughly enjoyed the reading. I felt your frustrations and your excitement, love for animals, trials, tribulations, and your determined success. There are some moving areas and some very funny times;  I can only say, I can’t wait to hopefully edit the next book!”
