Synopsis
And so it does. Ursula's is not the only life to be altered forever. Walking out on her job in Brussels, her flat and yet another in a long line of disastrous relationships, Finn Fitzgerald decides at 45, it's about time she took herself in hand and found out what she wants from life. Moving in with her sister, and meeting gorgeous Charlie Stuart is great, but how on earth has she ended up working as a clairvoyant? Julia and her friends are busy raising funds but are very cagey about exactly which good cause they are supporting. Then there's wealthy, gin soaked Delia, ex-Brown Owl, Bobbie, Sue who despairs of her unfaithful husband and Rosemary who despairs of her demented, sex-mad mother. Soon Finn and Charlie Stuart find themselves drawn into the money-making activities of the older generation and love is in the air. Until that is, they find out more about the alleged good cause, and Finn finds out about Charlie's wife.

Review
"A quirky and well written novel with a crisp and witty style, featuring delicious black comedy." -- New Writer's Scheme"
From the Author
I had a lot of fun writing Scuba Dancing, particularly the parts concerning Ursula and her angel. The angel came out of the blue, straight on to the page without prior thought on my part as though he was writing his own lines - which may explain a lot!
The underlying theme of the book is loneliness, at all ages, but I needed to come up with some positive ways of combating it, which is where the social group came in. Their unorthodox activities came along later.
I loved creating the members of the group. Again, they sprang out of nowhere, almost fully-formed, especially the hero, Charlie, whose unusual family history had been sitting at the back of my mind for ages - suddenly there he was, ready to be saddled with it!
Scuba Dancing was great fun to write and I hope you have fun reading it.
