I am Saffina Desforges and this blog is dedicated to my writing.
My writing will not be for everyone. Please do not continue/look away now if you are: Under 18, easily offended/of a sensitive nature or too scared to face the truth.
Described by one leading agent as “well-written” and “compelling,” Sugar & Spice is the first of three novels dealing in psycho-sexual deviancy. Work on the sequel, Puppy Dogs’ Tails is under way. The third book, Cold Blood, will explore the murky world of necrophilia.
When you’ve got two young children, and you think the unthinkable, where do you turn?
Inspired by a real-life sex-offender who begged a Judge to give him a longer sentence, because he knew he would harm more children if released, Sugar & Spice seeks answers to the questions society prefers not to ask.
Meticulously researched, and based on real-life studies, Sugar & Spice is car-crash reading. Only the characters are fictional…

Some comments from authonomy about Sugar & Spice:
“Sugar and Spice is about turning a clever concept into a brilliant piece of work. Compelling, thrilling and dark make this a thriller with depth, and a book that deserves a place on any shelf, and especially in a book shop.

“Looking at the list of favourite authors I can see where you get inspiration but you have an outstanding style of your own. This is a dark and very realistic thriller with malevolent undertones that straight away draws the reader into the plot, with a pace that drives the narrative forward.
Powerful,descriptive and highly readable.

“..Frightening, I find myself checking on my son just to make sure he’s alright, this is disturbing stuff but right on the money, this would make a fantastic miniseries or drama for late evening, the subjecy is relevant, topical and close to every parents heart. You do a good job of showing how shit the justice system is in dealing with these animals and your portrayal of the mother is especially heartbreaking, I truly believe this should be picked up and televised. Good luck and keep going with this, use Facebook and blogging to promote it and get ths story out there.”
“Sugar and Spice, the opening to an age old rhyme. The trouble is this book isn’t nice – but the author has handled the chapters I read so well.
The opening of this book is shocking, hard hitting and brutal and unfortunately, very realistic. I can see this being picked up by a major publishing house and becoming a best seller.”
“Excellent writing. Reads superbly well. Looks like a winner to me and I wish I had written it.

“A great pitch, followed by a well researched story. I think this book should be on everyone’s shelf. A look into the complex mind of a sex offender, which can be a shocking place to visit. Well done on the excellent piece of writing. Backed. Eunice – The Temple Dancer.”
