A forgiven Friend- Sue Featherstone & Susan Pape


A Forgiven Friend: Lies, Loss, and Love, But Always Friendship
Friendship will always come first.

There’s only one way out from rock bottom and that’s up, and Teri Meyer is finally crawling out from the worst time of her life – no thanks to her best friend Lee. But no matter, she’s finally found love – real love with a real man, a successful man, a man who accepts all her flaws. Teri’s never felt like this before, and yet it’s changing her in ways she doesn’t understand.

And there’s only one person who can help, one person who truly understands Teri.

It seems that no matter how hard Lee Harper tries, there’s a battle awaiting her at every turn these days, and she’s tired. And as if she needs the extra stress, Teri continues to create constant and unnecessary drama. But Lee’s the only one who really knows what’s going on under Teri’s hard, convoluted exterior, and that’s why she’s always been there for her.

But the question is: will Teri be there when Lee needs her most?

The brilliant and entertaining final book in the unique FRIENDS trilogy dishes out another dose of rib-tickling mayhem for our favourite thirty-something professional women.

Sue and I are often asked to give talks about our writing and to explain how we write
 together – and we love doing it. It means we get to meet lots of keen readers, people
 who have read our books, and those who want to buy our books.
We generally talk about our backgrounds – in regional journalism and academia – and
how we started writing together. And, of course, we talk about our characters and story
lines, and read a couple of chapters to give an idea about the style and form of our novels.
We’d both worked in journalism so we’re used to talking to, and interviewing people,
 and we both went into university lecturing – Sue at Sheffield Hallam and me at Leeds
 Trinity – so we’ve done plenty of addressing a room full of students.
But standing before our first book audience was another thing altogether. Would
anyone turn up? Would they like us? Would they be interested in what we had to
say? And, importantly, would they like our first novel – A Falling Friend – which
 took us eight years to write and which we still considered our baby?
Oddly, despite feeling nervous on that first occasion, as soon as we stood up we
relaxed. It dawned on me that we were talking to a group of book lovers about one of
their favourite subjects: books.
And it hadn’t dawned on me until then that there are many people out there who would
love to write a book, but haven’t quite got round to it for one reason or another: they
 haven’t the time, the discipline or the imagination…or they simply don’t know what
 to write about.
So in a way, our first audience was a little in awe of us because we’d done something
hat they’d quite like to have done – but hadn’t.
We’ve become more confident as we’ve done more talks – and we bring lots more
into the events now. For instance, Sue and I appeared on the television quiz show,
 Pointless, a couple of years ago and we often refer to my fluffing an easy answer,
 which raises a laugh (of sympathy, I hope).
And while we always read extracts of our books, we’ve taken this a little further
following our recent appearance at Ilkley Literature Festival. There, with the help
of an ‘actor’ friend, we ‘performed’ a chapter of our latest book, A Forgiven Friend,
 complete with actions and props.
It raised not only laughs, but interest too – so we’re keeping it in our ‘act’ from
 now on.
Most of our talks have been at literary festivals, book clubs, libraries and
diverse organisations and groups.
But one of our favourite audiences is the WI. We were recently guest speakers at
 a WI in West Yorkshire purely by chance and luck. They’d been let down at the
last minute by another speaker so we stepped in (we’re not proud). And we had
such a fun night. Not only were the organisers desperately grateful that we’d
 ridden to the rescue, they invited to stay for tea and cakes. And you know how
wonderful WI tea and cakes can be.
