Congratulations to Islander, Emily Baugh, who has recently published her debut novel.
Temporary Shift tells the story of office temp, Sally Sullivan, who lands a contract in a particle physics laboratory.
Blurb for the book explains,
She had thought she’d be answering phones, perhaps a bit of tea-making and filing. But her reality as she has known it, is just about to change, forever… Sally Sullivan’s work as an office temp just about pays the bills, but her haphazard life lacks direction and meaning.
Her latest contract, working in a particle physics laboratory, promises something more interesting, especially when she meets charming physicist, Lockey. Within moments of entering Lockey’s world, Sally finds herself hurtled into a realm beyond-belief, experiencing life on levels she could never in her wildest dreams have imagined. Where possibilities become realities and nothing is as she had thought it to be.
Her life will never be the same, as she battles to make sense of her new and tumultuous existence on a journey, not only across dimensions, but also of self-discovery. Will she ever get back to how things were, and would she want to?
Sci-fi meets rom-com in this fast paced adventure, sideways across time.
A wonderful escape
Mother of three, Emily, says she finds writing to be a wonderful escape, dreaming up new plots and characters whilst doing the more mundane chores, and then writing them down in the evenings when the kids have gone to bed.
She says she came up with the very first seed of the idea for Temporary Shift whilst washing up.
In a recent interview Emily said that if she could be any leading character from a bestselling book, she’d be Charlie, from Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We thought this nugget of information worth including, as as today (Tuesday 13th September) is Roald Dahl Day.
