Why are people receiving mystery parcels containing my book and a fedora?

By

I had a very special ‘special delivery’ earlier today: a present from my publisher, Avon Books and their PR agency, Way to Blue.

It was a big brown cardboard box, which opened to reveal a gorgeous hatbox in duck-egg green (or blue if you’re colourblind like my husband).

I opened the hatbox next (the whole thing was becoming a bit like Pass the Parcel by now, except every turn was mine, and there weren’t any fights for chairs). Inside, I found a copy of my new book, Would Like to Meet, together with an enigmatic note and a fedora.

Why the fedora? Well, that’d be telling, wouldn’t it? (No spoilers here.)

Cover reveal

By

Intrigue 2

So here it is…after months of anticipation (on my part, if not on yours), the cover of my new book has been revealed. I really hope you like it, and it would be great if you’d let me know what you think of the cover by leaving me a comment here.

As I write this post, there’s a discussion about the cover reveal on Twitter, too, so feel free to join in there instead, if you prefer. You can find me at @Mid_WifeCrisis and my publisher at @AvonBooksUK.

Publication date for my new book

By

I can’t believe P-Day’s almost here, because this damned book seems to have taken forever to write, although the time’s gone scarily fast at the same time. (Is that even possible?)

The big day is June 30th, though I’m more likely to spend it lying on the sofa in a sleep-deprived, panic-stricken stupor, than living it up and celebrating in style. Like the main character in my new book, I don’t much like drawing attention to myself…which seems an ironic thing to say on your own website, doesn’t it?

The title is Would Like to Meet, and if you’re curious about the cover, join me and Avon Books on Twitter on May 1st from 7pm, where all will be revealed.

You can find me @Mid_WifeCrisis and Avon at @AvonBooksUK. Hope to see you there!
