Sometimes it takes a little drama to find your voice.

Charlie's marriage has hit rockbottom—and his bed is a lonely place. In a bid to rekindle his mojo he joins a local writing class. 

A hobby that has his wife laughing into her morning latte. However, the writing class enjoys his stories, including the director of the local pantomime.

The director persuades Charlie to write the next local pantomime. Charlie's wife calls him crazy, and with a dame as funny as a kidney stone and equipment on par with a second-hand stall, Charlie can see her point until his wife leaves him for her therapist.

With a fire of epic proportions and an exotic wardrobe mistress sending mixed messages, Charlie is caught in the crossfire of amateur dramatic politics, divorce, and reviving his "romancing" skills.

Will he find the courage to take a second chance?

A Dame Called Derek is the first novella in the Diva Diaries series, although each book can be read as a standalone. For fans of Abbey Jimenez, Maddie Please, and Judy Leigh, A Dame Called Derek is a laugh-a-minute farce set in the world of small town Scottish amateur dramatics.
