UP THE DUFF WITHOUT A PADDLE

LARGE RES COVERLocal Blackheath mum, Amy Ransom, has just released her first novel, UP THE DUFF WITHOUT A PADDLE, on Amazon; a humorous and touching portrayal of the challenges of pregnancy and the transition from woman to mother that all pregnant women and mums will relate to.

‘We are told that pregnancy is the most magical time of our lives, that we will bloom and look radiant but it’s more likely you’ll feel bloated, knackered and full of anxiety about impending labour not to menton what actually happens beyond that. I wish I’d known these were normal emotions when I was going through it so I decided to combine this with my deep-seated ambition to write a book.’

Take a look at Greenwichmums sneaky peek below!

First time mother-to-be Kate is pregnant mostly by her own choosing, if you don’t count the interference from that damn Mother Nature. Surrounded by ‘professional mothers’ and mothers-to-be who are only too happy to sacrifice brie and wine for piles and nappies, Kate wonders if this is all she has to look forward to when she joins the Dark Side. Then Kate meets fellow cynical mothers-to-be, Evie and Chloe, at pregnancy yoga or ‘Proga,’ as the in crowd call it, and things start to look up. Suddenly spa days and wine, albeit non-alcoholic, are back on the agenda and it’s not long before the girls are afrIming that old adage, ‘trouble always comes in threes…

Amy lives in Blackheath with her husband and two girls (aged 1 and 3). Her experience of motherhood is a bizarre cocktail of joy, frustration, love and despair but somehow she is the most content she has ever been. She also likes real cocktails.

If you’ve ever been up the duff with out a paddle – As many of us have then Amy’s book is a must read. Available now on Kindle here or check out the Facebook page
