When Celeste stops to take a stone out of her shoe one night, she's just moments from home. Her mother drinks tea the nest morning, assuming Celeste is asleep upstairs. But Celeste hasn't made it home. Over the course of 24 hours, an urban noir unfolds through the eyes of all those involved, as we discover what might have happened to Celeste and how they are all connected to her story.
Colette Snowden’s short story ‘Blue’ was recorded for Broadcast on Radio 4 as part of the ‘Opening Lines’ series of stories by new writers in 2002. She won a Commonword first three chapters competition in 2009 and the completed manuscript became ‘The Secret to Not Drowning’, published by Bluemoose Books in 2015. It was selected as a Brave New Read in 2016; one of six books chosen by readers and promoted through libraries and book groups in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
Colette’s second novel, ‘Captain Jesus’, was published by Bluemoose Books in 2021, and her third, ‘Celeste’ was published by Bluemoose Books in September 2025.
Currently working on her 4th novel, Colette works as a marketing consultant and copywriter and lives in Manchester.
