Release date 04/15/2014
Bronte Hughes lives an ordinary life
with a loving family and close circle of
friends, until one day when she standsup to the school bully and is challenged
to a dare at Farrow’s Mill. It goes
disastrously wrong and shatters her
reality in the process. A single act leads
to a near fatal accident, which sets
closely guarded wheels in motion, and
leads her to fall for her best friend,
Riley.
A miscommunication sends them
down separate paths, leaving her to
face dealing with his rejection, while
trying to come to terms with the fact
that everything in her world isn’t what
it seems. She realises her world isn’t so
flawless after all, when everything
starts to unravel around her, and the
cracks begin to appear.
Can Bronte keep it together, regain her
first love, or will he reject her forever?
What will happen when she meets
Bayer at the mirrored lake? Join Bronte
as she begins a journey of selfdiscovery, learning the truth, which
reveals that she is the one who is
different from those around her. Follow
her story as she learns what her family
has worked so hard to conceal from her,
and is now set to turn her world
upside-down.
My name is Serina Hartwell. I live with my
better-half of 18 years, Macius, and I’m the
mother of two wonderful children, who grew
up when I blinked. I always write with my
writing companion, my cat Tilly, and I come
from an average size town in West Yorkshire,
England. The same place where the Bronte
sisters were born and I am from the village in
the mill town I write about.
My mother worked in the mills when I was a
child. I recall every night, my father taking my
brother and I to the mill to collect her and walk
her home over the lonely beck-side. These trips
along the shortcut are embedded throughout
Hidden, as my childish imagination finally
materialised on the page.
It was only recently that I found my way back
to writing, when I suddenly found out that I
was seriously ill. It’s funny how life has a way
of bringing you full circle and offering you
sharp reminders that time is slipping through
your fingers. One moment I was fine and the
next I was in a very bad place. Today you look
upon the writing of one of the luckiest people
on the planet, as I recovered and moved
forward. Luck I intend to build upon. With
doors closing all around me and my timely
reminder, my life reached a turning point, and
I knew I had to find the thing I was supposed
to be doing and get on with it. That’s when I
really started looking.
In August 2010, I had the most intense urge to
write. It came from nowhere, so I did the only
thing I could, I borrowed my daughter’s
laptop. I didn’t even know at the time if I could
write. The last creative thing I wrote was at
school. I didn’t know if I could connect with
the page, let alone complete a book, but one
thing is for sure, I haven’t stopped writing
since, nor do I intend to. So, allow me to introduce
you to my work. May I begin by introducing
Bronte, in The Hidden Saga? I hope you enjoy
Hidden and the many more to come.
