Caz HowCaz How knew she was born to write when her first horror piece disturbed a friend so much that they ended up smashing through their bedroom window during a nightmare brought on by the story. So, thoughtfully putting fiction-writing on hold (for now) he has instead recorded her own self-help styled memoir of the horror that is addictive drinking.Decades of drinking had left no time to indulge her passion for writing - so it's ironic that The Social Substance is her first published work, born of four glorious years of mostly effortless sobriety. With a light-hearted tone on what is a deadly serious topic, she manages to instill a well-crafted balance of truth and humor.

And in between enjoying mango mocktails from her own garden, she's naturally planning her next book! Read More Read Less
