THE FIRST TITLE FROM FIREWORDS PRESS
The Making of Maggie Munroe
by JJ Scott
“Grabs you from the first page and oozes Glasgow charm!”
– Claire S Duffy
Meet Maggie Munroe, a girl with the strength of Glasgow in her heart and a bunch of men trying to muscle their way into it. They won't rest until only one has succeeded but, fortunately, she doesn't suffer fools gladly and can see them coming a mile off - with the help of her intuition, her deid mammy and a Knickerbocker glory.
It is wartime in Maryhill, Glasgow. The city is in turmoil but, throughout it all, its residents struggle for whatever sliver of normalcy they can get. With the support of a boisterous family and steadfast friends, can Maggie navigate 1930s and 40s societal politics in her attempt to find the right path? Her gang includes her unwavering daddy who often cannot see past the end of his nose, an interfering aunt whose biggest belief is in her own opinion and a train wreck girlfriend striving for acceptance, so, when it comes to the four men makin' a meal o' it, they are in good company. Still, oor Maggie will not go down without a fight.

About the author
Always ready to be inspired, JJ Scott is salsaing through life with her notepad and pen, waiting for the next idea to hit her in the head. Getting run over by a truck (yes really!) was just a blip. With Puck the Cockapoo in tow, she is determined to grab life by the bindings and make it more than just a palatable cover.
Her writing is in Gallivant Journal and the IPSE Freelance Corner, and is heavily influenced by the places and people she met as a shoestring traveller in her 20s. Her debut novel grew closer to home when her Gran revealed that she had been proposed to four times, and she currently has two novels at editing stage which see strong Scottish characters take on the world.
