With the warmth of Marian Keyes and the energy of Patricia Scanlan, this sparkling novel is A Midsummer Night's Dream brought completely up to date.

'An entertaining and highly readable debut'

Meet JACK; he's funny, good-looking, a bit of a loser . . . a lot of a loser in fact, having lost his flat and car in a game of snooker. He's just fallen inexplicably in love with his exceedingly ex Ex LEILA, who can't stand the sight of him and is more than happy with her handsome City boyfriend HENRY. Henry, though, has suddenly found he's got the hots for KATIE, Leila's best friend and flatmate, who's been carrying a torch for Jack for so long, the Duracell batteries are beginning to run out . . . What's going on? Can't Cupid shoot straight anymore? It's not his fault for once, but Charlie and Puck's, a couple of badly behaved fairies who have been acting more stupid than cupid. And unless they work out how to fix things pronto, theirs is going to end up one seriously grim fairytale . . A riotously imaginative novel, full of love, life and magic.

‘The Rebel Fairy’ is a romantic comedy with a touch of fantasy – a modernised Midsummer Night’s Dream aimed at adult readers. It’s all about two naughty fairies, Charlie and Puck, who live in a large oak tree in Primrose Hill and flitter about London creating mischief. After spending hours observing people, they come to the conclusion that humans aren’t very good at this whole business of falling in love, or sustaining it, or falling out of it, for that matter, either. So they decide to spread a little a little happiness and conduct a few love spells on some humans (namely four characters called Katie, Jack, Henry and Leila) to help them get together. They mix up love potions and rub them on their eyes when they are asleep, so that each one will fall in love with the first person they see on waking. Unfortunately, things don’t quite according to plan…

I first began this novel in 1997 and now 5 years on it is very exciting to see it finally get published.
