WOO
HOO! Today’s the day!!!
Wednesday
28th November is the official release date for my new romcom, ‘Stilettos & Stubble’. It can be downloaded straight to your
kindle for just £1.97 here at Amazon UK
or here for the States, Australia
and India. You can also bag yourself a paperback copy at
Lulu.
For those of you who haven’t read the blurb yet, here goes:
All her life
Persephone’s
been branded a
‘Big Girl’.
Criticised by her
outwardly perfect mother,
dearly loved by her
father, she’s the
‘Queen of Low Self Esteem’.
Finding herself
suddenly
immersed in a world
of
glitz and glamour,
where nothing is
quite as it seems,
will she finally
realise
‘It’s
what’s inside that counts’?
You
can also go to Amazon and click on ‘Look
Inside’ (this feature will kick
in soon) to read the first few pages and see if it’s the book for
you - if you like a few giggles, some gorgeously camp men and a sprinkle of
romance, I’m sure it will be!
Releasing
a book is draining, so tonight will be spent checking my sales figures and
sipping bubbly with my hubbie - the official launch will be on 8th December
with a couple of close friends who have supported my writing journey. It will, no doubt, be a raucous affair -
watch this space for the blog and photos.
But
as I recover from one release, I'll be preparing for another. My novella, ‘Christmas Deliverance’ will be on sale from Saturday 1st
December - also at Amazon and Lulu.
Want
to see the cover?
Drum
roll …
And
to whet your appetite, here’s the blurb for that one:
It’s that time of year
again and the
Willoughby family think they’ve
got everything wrapped
up.
Each concealing their own
issues, they
return to widowed mum
Maggie
to play at happy
families.
But an unexpected
delivery
challenges their
perceptions of one other
- and of themselves.
Grab a mulled wine,
snuggle up by the fire
and share a family
Christmas with a difference.
Because Christmas doesn’t always deliver what you
want
- but sometimes it might be just what you need.
Hope
that’s left you wanting more and feeling just a tiny bubble of festive spirit.
Right,
I’m off to check my sales! I leave you
with the acknowledgements for ‘Stilettos
& Stubble’ as they appear in the book and, as I’m in a party mood,
the song which I associate most with my ‘new baby’.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I had such fun writing
this book
and just as much fun researching
it.
Drag queens and gay guys
love to talk
so I had no problem
gaining the info I needed!
I really hope I haven’t
forgotten anyone here as
I know they’d have my
guts for garters!
So huge thanks go to:
My dear friends Geoffers and
Eddie
Barbara Bush
Titti La Camp
Wilma Ballsdrop
David Somerset Barnes
Steve Phillips (Stella)
Ian Tink
And for giving me leads
to drag queens:
Mireille Eustace
Alison Stockley
Thank you ladies.
With love to a new friend
Jackie Martin
who has been a huge
supporter of my books
and wants to be my PA!
As always for my lovely
Mum, Robes and Ben.
