    About this ebook

    When disappointing 'A' Level results put an end to Stacey's dream of studying at Cambridge University, she has to face the prospect of a life very different from the one she had envisioned. To Stacey it is the end of the world. Depressed by the sense of failure and the thought of the life she sees ahead of her, she abandons a night out with friends to spend some time alone. However, as she walks home, she discovers that things could be far worse and on Rathbone Road Stacey is forced to confront her own outlook on life.

    M T Mathieson

    The youngest of four children, I was born in North Kent forty-something years ago and that is where I lived, on a council housing estate, for the first twenty-five years of my life. When I was nine or ten years old, I was fortunate enough to encounter that precious thing, a wonderful teacher, who planted the seed of possibility that writing was something I could do. I caught the writing bug. It was a love that stayed with me throughout my childhood. However, when I grew up, real life, work and family took over and it was many years before I started putting pen to paper again and still more before I made the decision to publish. It is a decision I haven't regretted. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. These days, I live in Milton Keynes, where I enjoy a long and ever changing list of hobbies while avoiding all things domestic, usually with great success.
