Why The Mole Resort is bang on target

As a family, we’re a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got three teenagers, a 12-year-old, and a cockapoo named Alfie, who’s more demanding than the rest of them combined.

The youngest is a budding female Bear Grylls, the 13-year-old is football crazy, the 16-year-old loves music and combat sports, while the eldest (18) is enjoying freedom behind the wheel of her first car.

Devon author Kate Vane’s new novel, Still You Sleep, focuses on hate crime on social media. A young woman with a learning disability is found dead, and her death becomes the subject of social media trolling.
