What Would Dolly Do? is a a feel-good romcom with a country twang, following the story of Becky Mooney, a Scottish Dolly Parton tribute act with big dreams and even bigger stage fright.

After a break-up with her boyfriend and Kenny Rogers duet partner, Becky ditches the duo life and takes a leap of faith, channelling her inner Dolly to find her own voice.

Romance, revenge, and a rockabilly road to Nashville await in this heartfelt and hilarious journey from Edinburgh to the heart of country music.

Suzan, married to rock legend Noddy Holder, (who lives locally), is known for her previous hits Shake It Up, Beverley and Rock 'n' Rose - and is no stranger to weaving music, humour, and heartfelt moments into her novels.

The TV presenter, journalist, and proud music-lover says she drew inspiration straight from Dolly herself.

Suzan said: "I've always been in awe of Dolly, not only for her talent but also her way of being uniquely herself.

"As Dolly says: 'we should all find out who we are and do it on purpose.' The leading lady in this book does just tha and it is also what I am doing in writing it. Thanks Dolly x."

Co-owner of Nantwich Bookshop, Denise Lawson, said: "We are super excited to welcome Suzan back to Nantwich for a third time.
