So of course I have to share it with you. I have been working on this novel for some years. It was on my bucket list and I have soooo enjoyed telling the story. But it has sucked up every spare hour of my day and then some. But now it's out there in the big wide world and I know some people won't like it and some will, I like it, and to me that's important.
The novel is similar perhaps to something author Danielle Steel might write. Although perhaps with a little more sauce added! LOL Would you like to read the back cover blurb? Now wouldn't you just love to have Alec all to yourself???? I would!
"The
life of an international rock musician is fast and furious. Work hard and play
harder. But when Mac collapses on stage in front of a packed Auckland stadium,
she has no choice but to make some serious life changes. She disappears from
media scrutiny to spend time recuperating at a private beach in the winterless
far north of New Zealand.
London
based Alec Stanford wants what his twin brother has… a home, a wife and children. But just because he’s one of the
world’s most successful and respected businessmen doesn’t mean he’s good at
personal relationships. With a divorce pending, maybe he’s just not marriage
material. Then he meets a burnt-out rock star who’s in hiding and she manages
to shift the whole axis of his universe.
A novel
about two people from different worlds who find a soul mate in each other and
almost lose everything in the process."
It's out on Amazon.com as a paper back or ebook, and you can also get it from iBooks, nook, Barnes and Noble and kobo.And today, I got my very first review, this is what the reader said.....
"What a great first novel Carole. I couldn't put it down. It was an easy read that took me on a journey of laughter sadness and excitement. I loved your use of some typically kiwi terminology! I became totally engrossed eager to find out what would happen next and was not disappointed. For me this book covered all the bases - a great story of two people which evolved into a steamy love story. Great characters, blended with the right amount of sexiness - baked in New Zealand - what a winning recipe."
I couldn't believe it! In fact it's a wonder you didn't hear me squealing in delight! So if you want something to read..... just saying lol.
Last week I was lucky enough to be invited along to speak at the Kapiti Coast Quilters meeting. The girls were all lovely and made me feel so welcome. I took along a few of my quilts and talked about them and after they all came up and chatted to me about them. They even gave me a beautiful bunch of flowers as a thank you!
Well, I'm off to make a cuppa. I'm planning on popping back here soon and I hope you are all busy painting and stitching and creating beautiful and loving works of art.
