About this deal

After finishing her work, she didn’t publish it as it was too personal and she couldn’t see anybody else reading it. They could the supermarket is merely The Front for something bigger, and the friends are small fish who have unwittingly plunged into a very big pond. I saw a fair few friends get sucked into the hell of addiction - and lost too many of them because of it.

Chantelle and her brother Leon live with their sad excuse for a mother on one of the estates in Manchester. Harry Shaw is the boy everyone loves to bully, the kid whose own mother locked him in a closet so she wouldn t have to look at his ugly face. Originally from Cheshire, she moved to Manchester and spent a decade living in the Hulme Crescents, which is what she draws from for her novels. Among all the novels written by the British author Heller, one of them is titled ‘Forget Me Not’ and is published by Not Avail on 1st June, in the year 2003.Couldn't read on fast enough to find out whether she'd get the lucky break she deserved in her life.

We follow 15 year old Chantelle and her 10 year old brother Leon through their low class struggles along with typical teenage struggles. Although this didn’t have the same feel as some of MH’s other books there was something a little bit refreshing about it.I based it in the Hulme Crescents, where I had spent 10 of some of the best and absolute worst years of my life.

I had read the synopsis and was looking forward to getting stuck into another gritty crime book and I wasn’t disappointed! When in the 80s, after moving to Manchester, she began working on the scenes of the underground music, having a part in an original rock band, and singing as a part-time in many blues, jazz and soul bands. Although she does not have a recurring series, many of her books are connected through the gritty urban settings and themes. Each month I pick a few select charities broken down by our most popular countries that you can support instead.I'd performed in amateur dramatics as a child, and became a professional singer at 18, touring the social clubs around the UK, earning my Equity card along the way which enabled me to do TV work. Among all her writings the first one was based on a real-life incident that happened to author Heller. Most of the childhood time of the author Mandasue Heller was spent in appearing in pantomimes and plays, performing as a character in am-dram productions, and for an Old Tyme Music Hall troupe she was working as a singer. As much as she wants to better herself and do well at school she doesn't look down on anyone and her brother comes first, at all costs despite him being a wee horror for a lot of the book.
