'Do you recognise the old superstition? From when I was small, my mother would caution me as I skipped alongside, 'Don't step on the cracks!' Whenever I asked why not, her response was always a tip to the nose, a wink and 'Just because…' Her mother had said the same to her and I'm sure I passed on the saying to my own offspring. Whatever mystery was lying between the flagstones and pavers I never discovered, nor wanted to! I see it now as a metaphor for challenging fate, or changing direction in life. Life is full of mysteries, superstitions - gentle or less so. But there are no horrors to disturb your sleep within these pages, so I hope you will enjoy sharing some of my pavement mysteries.' (Publisher's blurb)
