Pam Cairns first novel ‘The Dead Don’t Hurt Us’ is now published. Pam writes – This is an adventure story for the over tens, but also liked by adults, which draws on my experiences in the Amazon. During my visits to Amazonia I learnt a great deal about street children; the factors that cause their ever increasing numbers, their battle to survive and the terrible way they are treated by society. This book is for them! The profits are going to street children’s charities. (For more details see www.astwood.org.uk)
