'When Tilda Finch is diagnosed with invisibility, she's not overly surprised – she's felt invisible for years. She has a good life and a successful business selling inspirational quotes on merchandise. But she's never really recovered from her divorce. Or, if she's honest, her childhood. Tilda's past has taken a toll and she's lost sight of herself. Now, with the possibility of completely disappearing, she must face the trauma of her past and rewrite the way she perceives the world, and herself.

'Entertaining, hilarious and poignant, Tilda Is Visible addresses the power of our thoughts and how childhood trauma shapes our adult experience.' (Publication summary)

'Calypso Shakespeare knows what the future has in store for her, and not just because she's psychic.

'The "gifted" Shakespeare women have always had their one true love. Problem is, Calypso's came and went and didn't work out too well. She doesn't need a crystal ball to see that she'll never love again. Even her gift of mixing magical cocktails can't help heal her own bruised heart.

'Instead she concentrates on concocting potions that help other people find love. A dash of this, a pinch of that, a nip of liquor, muddle with flower petals and then part the veils and cast a spell. Calypso's supernatural services are in demand everywhere. It's the perfect life for a wanderer like Calypso.' (Publisher's blurb)
