Introducing KD Forsman
Introducing KD Forsman; Debut Author of FRAUD & FABRICATION
KD Forsman releases her debut novel Fraud & Fabrication on 1 February 2015. It is already available for pre-order on Amazon. The book is the first of the Leighton Park series, about the wealthy and eccentric Leighton family, their successful horse racing empire and their closely guarded family secrets.
Blogging has provided a creative outlet for KD since 2008; in her words... "I knew I had to get serious about my writing when I realised the characters in my head were not going to leave me in peace. They're a bunch of crazies, but they're my crazies."
When asked for one piece of advice for other aspiring writers, KD said;
“If you are serious about writing a novel, make an investment in the process. I engaged the services of a professional book coach, Dixie Maria Carlton, to help me get started. It was the best thing I ever did. If I hadn’t made that initial investment, I’m sure I’d still be procrastinating about my novel now. Getting that all important first draft down on paper was a huge sense of achievement.”
“The other investment I made was in my time. About halfway through the first draft, I decided I needed a boost to finish it and I took a week off work to focus solely on my writing. It paid dividends. I wrote more in a week, than I had in the five months prior. I will definitely use this approach for future books.”
KD was born in the UK and immigrated to middle earth (New Zealand) when she was four, where she still lives today. She has lived in rural locations for most of her life and describes herself as a recovering horse addict, having ridden horses competitively and recreational riding for many years. These days, she has swapped her four legged antics for the two legged variety, after completing her first ever half marathon in 2014 with plans to repeat the experience again this year.
KD had the privilege of being mentored by other published authors and hopes to entertain her readers through the stories she shares.
Fraud & Fabrication:
Genre; Contemporary drama with a bit of passion & crime thrown in for good measure!
Cassandra has finally landed on her feet when she escapes to a new job after a relationship gone wrong. Leighton Park Stud, located in remote rural Canterbury New Zealand, seems a lifetime away from the hustle and bustle of city living, and that’s exactly what Cass needs to make a new start.
Despite the sometimes confronting experiences of life at the top thoroughbred horse stud and training facility, it’s a job Cass loves and she quickly settles into her new role as Secretary of the Stud.
When the mysterious Geoffrey Leighton, absentee eldest son of her boss John, comes to the rescue of a badly injured filly, Cass realises she’s found her soul mate. It’s not long before she’s engaged to be married into racing’s elite; and she’s happy to overlook some of the wackier sides of life with the wealthy family.
Her loyalty to the Leighton family are put to the test when nasty rumours circulate around the sale of a horse and the investigation that ensues. Add into the mix a closely guarded family scandal, an alcoholic step mum, a terribly accident prone husband and soon Cass is left wondering what normal even looks like anymore.
Cass tries to ignore the warning signs that all is not well in paradise. But heavily pregnant with their first child, her house of cards is starting to crumble. Suddenly she is confronted with a very real and dangerous situation.
Cass has the most difficult decision of her life to make. Will she stay and deal with it? Or walk away and blow the whole ugly truth wide open?
