Straws is book 3 in The Mug Trilogy of third-person memoirs. It can be enjoyed without having to read A Slice Of The Seventies or The Lying Scotsman, the first two books of the series.

Straws describes the aftermath of Mug's turbulent time being whirled in the vortex caused by her entanglement with the eponymous lying Scotsman. This third-person standalone autobiography describes Mug's struggles in later life to achieve positive outcomes in her fraught relationships with men, family, friends, work, health, and life in general. Who will be Mug's final straw? What prompted her in her sixties to write and publish more than twenty books?
