Sarah Watts and What Happened to Evie Del Rio?

Author Sarah Watts with her novel What Happened to Evie Del Rio and a cup of Earl Grey Tea

About the Book: Evie Del Rio was the one, as far as Ed Nash was concerned.

Growing up in the '80s, their teenage love was the inspiration for his song 'Used to Be' and helped Ed's indie band, The Mountaineers, to international fame.

But when Evie and her family suddenly up sticks and leave their London home without a forwarding address, she leaves a heartbroken Ed behind too.

Over thirty years later, washed-up rocker Ed is suddenly back in the limelight when Evie's love song is used as the theme tune for a new TV drama. Once the song is later featured on the TV documentary 'Musical Muses: The Girl in the Song', it's suddenly not just Ed who's asking...

What happened to Evie Del Rio?

About the Beverage: Sarah recommends pairing her novel with an Earl Grey Tea (M&S Earl Grey and M&S Decaffeinated Earl Grey Tea) and explains that “I consumed an awful lot of Earl Grey tea while writing What Happened to Evie Del Rio? And you will often find many of my characters drinking tea throughout the book. I like to think that a nice cup of tea is so often the solution to any problem, and a cup of tea is certainly very helpful to Evie Del Rio about 3/4 through the book!”

About the Author: Sarah always enjoyed the written word, and she has a great passion for music, so she decided to put the two together, and the result is her debut novel, 'What Happened to Evie Del Rio?'

“I like to think I'm enjoying my 'middle youth' rather than my 'middle age',” Sarah says, adding, “I'm married and Mum to two sons and a black rescue cat called Hector, who often features on my Instagram account.”

Sarah enjoys going to gigs and discovering new music. She also loves reading women's fiction, but she does have a bit of a penchant for crime and psychological thrillers! If Sarah is not on social media, reading, writing, listening to music, or at a gig, then you will probably find her on a muddy football pitch cheering on her youngest son and his team.
