There is a competition to win one of three copies of Starstruck from Choc-lit Publishing. You will need to visit all the above blog stops to enter. (UK addresses only)
The competition will consist of Capitalised Words included in each blog post for you to collect and then at the end there will be a question to answer from the words collected. There will be blog posts each week on the tour from 18th July to 29th August.
Entries will need to post their answers to info@choc-lit.co.uk
Ah, hello. Do come in and pull up a doughnut. It’s all right, you can dunk, no-one will judge you...
Right. I’ve popped by today to chat about my new novel STARSTRUCK, published by Choc Lit, which will be available for you all to purchase at a very reasonable price from all good bookstores from 01 September. Starstruck is set at a Sci Fi convention in Nevada, which is my excuse for name dropping Buffy, Doctor Who and for managing to work an inflatable Dalek into the narrative; because, not to put too fine a point on it, I am a geek. For anyone wishing to discuss the finer points of the possibilities of the Time War, or the disappearances of the Babylon platforms (up to, and including Five), then I am your woman. Aliens, spaceships, Brian Blessed, you name it, I know about it.
However, fear not all you non-geeks, Starstruck is not a Sci Fi story. The background show ‘Fallen Skies’ is about intergalactic war, but Starstruck is mostly about gorgeous men running around in ripped shirts, shy writers, and memories. The whole story revolves around memories lost, memories held on to and memories that won’t leave – honestly, not a single spaceship in there at all. Well, maybe one. And an inflatable Dalek.
Look, here’s the blurb.
Our memories define us – don’t they?
And Skye Threppel lost most of hers in a car crash that stole the lives of her best friend and fiancé. It’s left scars, inside and out, which have destroyed her career and her confidence.
Skye hopes a trip to the wide dusty landscapes of Nevada – and a TV convention offering the chance to meet the actor she idolises – will help her heal. But she bumps into mysterious sci-fi writer Jack Whitaker first. He’s a handsome contradiction – cool and intense, with a wild past.
Jack has enough problems already. He isn’t looking for a woman with self-esteem issues and a crush on one of his leading actors. Yet he’s drawn to Skye.
An instant rapport soon becomes intense attraction, but Jack fears they can’t have a future if Skye ever finds out about his past ...
Will their memories tear them apart, or can they build new ones together?
Will their memories tear them apart, or can they build new ones together?
There, you see. Hardly any Sci Fi at all. Honestly. And just the one Dalek. Oh, come on, you’ve got to allow me my little peculiarities, haven’t you?
And if you’re following the competition to win one of three copies of Starstruck – well, you know what to do... and if you don’t, check out my blog at www.janelovering.co.uk for details. Blog guaranteed Sci Fi free... although it might contain traces of nuts.
Jane Lovering is an extraordinarily talented, beautiful, intelligent liar. She lives in North Yorkshire with a houseful of beings, most of which were born on this planet, has a worrying penchant for Tony Robinson and is patiently coaxed into writing Romantic Comedy novels for Choc Lit by a man with a lot of chocolate on the end of a very long stick.
