Bobbie is the author of:
'Love, Revenge & Buttered Scones' longlisted for the 2011 International Rubery Book Award. Comedy of errors. Three troubled people dash off to the Scottish Highlands to find their destinies mysteriously entwined around a reading group in the Inverness public library. Twists & surprises, very funny with also some dark, serious threads, it keeps you guessing throughout.
'Truth Games' (2009) We're in 1970s London, the blazing summers of 75 & 76, and a group of friends are getting way out of their depth in infidelity. Thought-provoking, amusing & with guaranteed naughty bits.
