The Haunting of Strawberry Water by Tara Gould and Cora Vincent by Georgina Aboud from the Spotlight Books series were both chosen as must-reads by Sussex Life magazine.

‘Of the first six books, five are by Sussex-based authors. Tara Gould is one, with a beautifully-written tale of a motherless girl growing up to become a mother struggling against her destiny. Hove resident Georgina Aboud’s story is very different: a disjointed account of scenes and events in an actress’ life as she prepares to return to the stage. Judging by these excellent little books, Spotlight Books deserves success.’
