It's August 1959 and it's blackberry picking time. 'Lollypop' and 'Living Doll' blare out from the juke box; boys wear natty suits, their hair slicked back in Elvis quiffs; girls are dressed in puffed out skirts - all of them with one thing on their minds ...How far do we go to keep a promise? A back street stabbing changes the lives of five young people forever and promises prove difficult to keep. Blackberry Promises in an evocative exploration of teenage sexuality set in an era which invented the teenager.

Not just a gripping ‘who-done-it’ Blackberry Promises is a time machine. It takes you back to a time when seat belts were optional extras, telephones were securely wired into walls and social life centred on a cafes or a pubs. Yet, the story picks up on the timeless story of relationships, sexual tension, family loyalties and people that have secrets. A page turning read, that keeps you guessing, until the end.
