Barley WI Member’s Debut Thriller Published Megan’s dead. Adam’s run away. Olivia wants revenge. A twisty tale of obsession, belonging and the terrible things people do in the name of love, ‘Don’t Forget Me’ is a debut, psychological thriller by BARLEY WI member, Lisa Nicholas. Lisa’s first novel was published on 26 August, realising her dream. Work and life tended to get in the way, but after several false starts, ‘Don’t Forget Me’ came to her in a nice dream about love and dedication. Preferring a darker tale, she inverted these traits, creating a sinister story about obsession and jealousy. Writing it came naturally, but she hadn’t realised it was only the tip of the iceberg. After many months, eighteen rounds of edits and thirty rejections, she was offered a publishing contract and had to edit some more. It was a long journey, but whatever the outcome, Lisa says it’s just a pleasure to hold the book in her hands.
