‘Out of The Frying Pan - Judy Upton has her first novel published!

Theatre and on BBC Radio 4, but this is the first time she has turned her hand to writing a novel. ‘Out Of The Frying Pan’ is out now and available from Hobart Books: www.hobartbooks.com/product-page/out-ofthe-frying-pan and from all main booksellers.
