Two Old Ladies and a Secret Child by Suzanne Shearing
When a lonely pensioner finds an abandoned baby on her doorstep, she has no idea that the child is the illegitimate offspring of a member of a royal family. But the secret is soon out. The authorities and the press pull out all the stops to find the missing child - but so does Charles, a violent man with his own agenda who, it soon becomes clear, will stop at nothing. The old lady and her best friend take to the road in an attempt to keep the baby safe. They are soon on the run in a foreign country, with no idea what to do next, where they're going, or what will happen to the innocent foundling...

I truly enjoyed reading it." - SHIRLEY HOLMES; "Good storytelling, fast-paced fun. Very impressed." - LIN AND BRIAN EMSLEY; "A jolly good read!" - HELEN BYRNE
Suzanne Shearing is a retired journalist, stage school owner and filmmaker. Starting on her local paper, the Welwyn Hatfield Times, as a cub reporter, she progressed to evening and national publications, writing news and features, as well as a local column. In 1995 she had a change of career, due to her love of the theatre and film. After attending drama school, she opened a stage school, which soon became the most successful part-time stage school in Hertfordshire, with 300 young students and 14 teachers of drama, dance and singing. When she retired, she started writing scripts and made two feature films, No Smoke and Archie, which have been distributed throughout the world, and a short, Nobody's Child. No Smoke was an official selection for the International Marbella Film Festival. Two Old Ladies and a Secret Child is Suzanne's debut novel, something she thought she would never achieve. Writing 80,000 words is not easy for a journalist who has been trained to keep everything short and sweet! Suzanne lives in rural Hertfordshire with her pups Rusty and Rocky, and with her son and his family nearby. She is working on her next novel with great enthusiasm, having discovered that fiction is so much more exciting than facts!
