My blog ‘tour’ is continuing and today I’ve been lucky enough to be invited onto the book blog, This Chick Reads, to talk about how I deal with writer’s block.
I went about the whole subject for so long that you won’t be able to read the whole thing until later in the tour, but if you want to know tips 1-3, you can find those by clicking here: http://thischickreads.com/would-like-to-meet-polly-james/

Today I’m on Laura’s Little Book Blog, talking about which three authors I’d choose to go on a date with. Separately, not all at once.
I took some liberties by choosing two dead people, but – for some wholly unknown reason – I then forgot to choose any men, living or dead. Overlooking the dating aspect of the word “date” doesn’t augur well for what would happen if my beloved husband ever dumped me, does it? (Touch wood he won’t. I’m clearly RUBBISH at this stuff.)

It’s often underestimated how helpful book bloggers can be to authors and their books. Unpaid (and often unappreciated) they read advance reading copies (also called ARCs), and then write thoughtful, considered reviews and draw attention to books they’ve really enjoyed. They do it just for the love of reading, and because they want to share books they’ve enjoyed with other readers.
I’m very grateful to all the book bloggers who’ve taken the time to read and review my books.
Here’s what On My Bookshelf made of “Would Like to Meet”.

The reviews from book bloggers have started coming in, and – as if to make up for my having a very bad working week due to my DIY-obsessed neighbour hammering even more than usual – the first review gives “Would Like to Meet” 10 out of 10! I’m SO chuffed. (And relieved.)
Many thanks to Tracey at The Reading Shed for reading and reviewing the book. You can read her full review here: https://thereadingshed.wordpress.com/2016/06/22/would-like-to-meet-by-polly-james/

Please contact me if you’ve written a review of “Diary of an Unsmug Married” on your book blog, but it isn’t listed here. I’ll be happy to add it, if you send me the link.

Diary of an Unsmug Married describes itself as “the story of real relationships”, and there’s certainly plenty of harsh reality thrown into the mix! [Read more…]

“When I hear my daughter earnestly explaining oral sex to Aunty Edith – presumably unasked – I decide to see if I am able to tolerate gin again. Sometimes I think we should have Connie tested for Aspergers, but I’m not sure I’d really want to know the result.”
Five minutes after reading this paragraph, I managed to stop laughing and carry on reading. Well, for another two pages at least, until the next belly laugh. And so it went on.
