Constance Breakwater
Anthony is a teenage boy on holiday in Cornwall with his mum. His dad has stayed back home in London. When there’s a massive terrorist attack in the capital, his dad vanishes and Anthony’s life starts to fall apart.
A girl called Patience who’s staying in a nearby chalet comes to Anthony’s rescue. Was his Dad really who he seemed? And could pretty, rich girl Patience actually be the girl of Anthony’s dreams – his imaginary girlfriend Constance Breakwater?
Constance Breakwater and her Beautiful Museumhood is a short book aimed at young and old adults alike.
It's the first complete thing I wrote as an adult, back in 2008, so perhaps it's a first pancake, it certainly feels like juvenalia now, but people who have read it say that it has stuck with them, and that they can imagine it as a film.
