Vie Strachan-Watson, who also works part-time as a school teacher, put pen to paper after spending a stint in hospital due to being very unwell.
The 55-year-old had been sitting on the story for 16 years - but her stay in hospital was the wake up call she needed to finally get it written.
The nativity-themed book titled 'I Just Want To Be Mary!' tells the story of the central character, four-year-old Caitlin, who is obsessed with being cast as Jesus' mother Mary in the upcoming school nativity play.
The melodic story is inspired by her now grown-up daughter Lauren Caitlin, who is now a university student. The classically-trained singer, who was born and attended schools in London, raised her daughter in Wolverhampton.
