Sun Sharer

No. 1 best seller in the UK official charts. A controversial and shocking anti-romance, only previously released as a hardback.

Excerpt:

Each day, when eight-year-old Jack arrived home from school, he would squat on the window ledge of the modern semi-detached’s lounge to be as far away as possible from the foot of the stairs and the ghost that haunted his imagination from somewhere above.

He would squint at any remaining sunlight, desperate to see his mother returning from work as she strode expectantly up the road, anxious to receive a hug from her handsome little boy. 

He was too young to be ‘a latchkey’ kid living near Bewdley in Worcestershire, but because of his youthful innocence, he noticed things in his loneliness that adults would miss but accepted that his thoughts were never to be shared.
 
Sometimes, he would gather up all of his courage and quickly stamp up those seven stairs, counting upwards from zero until he leapt onto the top landing, where he yelled in a panic-stricken and tearful voice. 

“Go away!  Leave me alone, whoever you are; you have no right to be in my mom’s house!”
 
Was it a fantasy created by the fear of an imaginative little boy, or was it the dawning of his awareness that he had a psychic gift?  The fear was that he felt unloved and alone, needing his mother to praise him for the events of his day at school.  The unknown gift was pushed to one side, like the child who needed the love.
