Could anything be worse than remembering your childhood through the grim mists of childhood cancer?  Sharon Cook’s memoir “Sewing Sequins on My Straight Jacket” does just that – and she makes us laugh and cry at the same time.

This indie-published book went straight to number 1 and has remained in the Amazon best sellers chart ever since. Pretty good for a first book.

After her divorce, former journalist Sharon moved herself and two young children to a seventeenth-century stone cottage in the West Country, which she still calls home. Little did she know just days after her son’s 9th birthday, she would hear the worst possible news any mother can hear; her son was diagnosed with cancer.

Join Sharon for our final session on Saturday, 5 April, where she will share amusing anecdotes about her writing, her home, and her eclectic mix of both vintage clothes and camper vans, as well as the cupboards full of homemade fruit liqueurs and chutneys.

Sharon plans to write full-time one day, but until that dream comes true, she fills her time working in prison libraries, attending literary festivals, and working with a charity where she finds plenty of inspiring characters.
