Jennifer Cornwall is five-foot-two, over-nourished, with red, gravity-defying hair that makes her think she was conceived the day God invented the Koosh Ball.

At twenty, she’s trapped in a numb life at a photocopying firm. Uneventful – except for the workplace bullies. Despite her Aunt Emily’s gentle encouragement, she believes other girls have the perfect gene-take-home-pack with a side order of social skills, while she trips ’n dies at every turn.

When a striking new employee, Lucy, starts at work, Jennifer really struggles with her own mediocrity. Her flatmate suggests she finds some focus with the help of a clairvoyant. After misinterpreting the reading, Jennifer embarks on a wacky self-improvement campaign. She also discovers Aunt Emily has issues of her own and sets out to solve them.

It’s a journey through strengths, weaknesses and comical crises, but oh, what a journey it turns out to be … for everyone.

First comes the miracle and then comes the madness. The miracle is the birth of identical triplets, and the madness is all about money, of course. The year is 1916 and the newborn baby girls have become pint-size celebrities. Unfortunately, this small portion of fame soon leads to a much larger portion of greed, and the triplets are split up — parceled out to the highest bidders. Two of the girls go to live in a hilltop mansion. The third girl isn’t so lucky. She ends up with a shady family that lives in an abandoned work camp. That’s how their lives begin: two on top, one on the bottom, and all three in the same small town. And when their worlds collide, as they must, the consequences are extreme.

Tea Cups and Tiger Claws is available from Amazon, Smashwords, and Amazon UK.
