The blurb

LIFE CLASS

A story about art, life, love and learning lessons

The class meets once a week to draw the human figure. For four of its members, life hasn’t lived up to expectations. All have failed to achieve what they thought they wanted in life. They gradually come to realise that it’s not just the naked model they need to study and understand. Their stories are very different, but they all have secrets they hide from the world and from themselves. By uncovering and coming to terms with the past, maybe they can move on to a different and unimagined future.

Dory says she works in the sex trade, the clean-up end. She deals with the damage sex can cause. Her job has given her a jaundiced view of men, an attitude confirmed by the disintegration of her own relationship. The time seems right to pursue what she really wants in life, ifshe can work out what that is. Love doesn’t figure in her view of the future – she’s always been a clear eyed realist – yet she finds herself chasing a dream.

Stefan is a single-minded loner, whose sole and overriding ambition is to make a living from his sculpture. So how the hell did he find himself facing a class of adults who want their old teacher back? Although love is an emotion he long ago closed off - it only leads to regret and shame - it creeps up on him from more than one direction. Is it time to admit that letting others into his life is not defeat?

Fran - Dory’s older sister - is a wife and a stay-at-home mother without enough to keep her occupied. On a collision course with her mid-life crisis, Fran craves the romance and excitement of her youth. An on-line flirtation with an old boyfriend becomes scarily obsessive, putting everything she really loves at risk. 

Dominic - has lived his life knowing all about sex but nothing about love. If he can only find his mother perhaps he can make sense of his past. But perhaps it is a doomed quest and it’s time to look to the future? By accepting the help and love that’s on offer here and now, he has a chance to transform his life.

Along with the publication of LIFE CLASS

Gilli Allan is  running a special offer price cut, for a fortnight, on her book TORN

Wedding update

I am just managing to start thinking about my own wedding plans again.
There are lots of family dramas going on...but need to crack on with the wedding plans, as it is only 19 weeks away now.


My brother got married last Friday. I won't share the photos of bride and groom but can share a couple of my family

3 generations - Yours truly, my daughter C and my mum

My 3  - growing up fast

I still have a long To-do list for the wedding.  This week I have been thinking about my flowers.  Fresh bridal bouquets are so expensive.  I have opted for artificial, foam, flowers.


I do love fresh flowers so to keep costs down, but still have the real thing, I am making my own table centrepieces.  These are my trial centrepieces. Please do let me know your thoughts

Birdcage filled with flowers for centrepiece - using roses, freesias
and Lisianthus

Cube vase and mirror plate

I am three-quarters finished making the wedding invitations.  2 colour ribbons with seed pearls and a wedding stamper for the design.  I am printing inserts too.

The blurb

As the Victorian Age draws to a close, lonely and brokenhearted, Grace 
Woodruff fights for her sisters' rights to happiness while sacrificing 
any chance for her own.

The eldest of seven daughters, Grace is the core of strength around 
which the unhappy members of the Woodruff family revolve. As her 
disenchanted mother withdraws to her rooms, Grace must act as a buffer 
between her violent, ambitious father and the sisters who depend upon 
her.

Rejected by her first love and facing a spinster's future, she 
struggles to hold the broken family together through her father's 
infidelity, one sister's alcoholism, and another's out-of-wedlock 
pregnancy by an unsuitable match.

Caring for an illegitimate half-brother affords Grace an escape, though 
short-lived. Forced home by illness and burdened with dwindling 
finances, Grace faces fresh anguish –and murder– when her first love 
returns to wreck havoc in her life.

All is not lost, however. In the midst of tragedy, the fires of her 
heart are rekindled by another. Will the possibility of true love lead 
Grace to relinquish her responsibilities in the house of women and 
embrace her own right to happiness?

Guest Author - Fiona Walker plus a love letter

• Publisher: Sphere (26 April 2012)
• ISBN-13: 978-0751547894

Happy Publication Day to Fiona Walker!

I recently read and reviewed the short story prequel to The Love Letter and now have The Love Letter to follow up with and will review here soon.

Fiona is my guest author today. I asked Fiona about letter writing.  I cannot remember the last time I wrote a personal letter. Penpals are now email penpals, or even more current, facebook or twitter followers.  We seem to have lost the art of letter writing with lovely pens and paper.

Here is what Fiona had to say

I call myself a writer, but I write very little by hand anymore. From a 170,000 word novel to a personal letter or even a bureaucratic form, it’s QWERTY all the way. I wish I’d learned to touch type; I’ve developed a technique all of my own over the years, and must be the fastest three finger typist in Worcestershire, with the errors and broken keyboards to prove it. My smart-phone skills are even more random; if I try to write a text, I inevitably press ‘send’ before I’ve finished, so my darling, long suffering partner is accustomed to receiving the line ‘I’ve left you’ followed swiftly by ‘something in the fridge for supper.’

I’m much more in control with a pen. I still print out each draft of my books, and love the power of the red fibre-tip to scrawl all over the print, reshaping character and plot. There’s something satisfyingly visceral about marking up a manuscript. The Love Letter had many drafts and, as each one went from a pristine block of foolscap hot from the printer to a dog-eared, heavily scribbled loose-leaf mountain, it came alive. The tricky bit is when I sit in front of my keyboard again to type in all those inky red changes and can’t read my own handwriting, or I find that my small children have drawn stick men and houses all over chapters six through thirteen and chapter twenty is missing entirely, possibly blotting up a washing machine leak.

As a great Kindle convert, I have tried reviewing my novel drafts on that, but the footnotes one can input are nothing to the excited scrawls I want to be able to add to every paragraph, or the instant way I can dig a nail in a third of a way through six hundred pages and know the place I want to find is right there ready to be written on. In the same way that writing and reading books is turning from typeset print on paper to pixels on a screen, personal communication has turned increasingly electronic. We can now email, text and tweet our feelings for one another, which opens up the most thrilling avenues for romance on the move, at work and at home. However, there’s still something about folded pages of writing paper delivered in an envelope that has incredible power and longevity, particularly the old-fashioned hand-written love letter. I’ve changed computers and phones so many times over the years that I’ve lost mountains of emails and texts, some of which were very personal indeed, but I still keep a collection of favourite letters in a decorative box.

In The Love Letter, the characters send each other personal messages all the time, from instant ones that bleep to printed ones delivered by hand, and they are all equally important, but it wouldn’t be the same without the old-fashioned love letter of the title, written from the heart, just as I wouldn’t be able to write a book without pens and paper, however many computer screens and keyboards I have lined up on front of me.

The publisher set reviewers of The Love Letter a challenge to write a love letter using fridge magnets.  This is my attempt at a love note, not quite a letter :)

Review - The Apothecary's Daughter - Charlotte Betts

• Publisher: Piatkus (2 Feb 2012)
• ISBN-13: 978-0749954499

The blurb

1665, Susannah Leyton has grown up behind the counter of her father's apothecary shop in bustling Fleet Street.  A skilled student - the resinous scents of lavender, rosemary, liquorice and turpentine run in her blood - her father has granted her the freedom to pursue her considerable talents.  But Susannah is dealt a shocking blow when her widowed father marries again, and her new stepmother seems determined to remove her from the apothecary shop for good.

A proposal of marriage from the charming Henry Savage seems to offer Susannah an escape.  But as the plague sweeps through London, tragedy strikes, and dark secrets in her husband's past begin to unfold.  It will take all of Susannah's courage and passion to save herself from tragedy....

I never tire of reading about this period in history in London.  Charlotte Betts has given the events of London during the plague and Great Fire a new angle. 

Charlotte weaves the story of a young woman who has great qualities both as an assistant to her Apothecary father, and also by her very caring nature and her empathy for people regardless of their social status.  Susannah's personal struggles as part of a growing step-family and her decision to take an offer of marriage as her only option lead her into an unhappy situation that she feels bound to endure. Susannah shows great courage in helping others at great risk to herself.

From the first chapter, I immediately felt transported into the Apothercary shop and was intrigued by the craft of mixing lotions and potions for the treatment of ailments in the 1600's and the practises of doctors at that time.

The fear that was felt by Londoners, from all walks of life,  during the Plague and the Great fire had me gripped as this story took the reader into the quarantined homes of those affected by the plague. 

A detailed and beautifully written novel that will stay with me for a long while.

5 out of 5 for me. Oh wow!  I loved it!

Review copy, many thanks

The Immortal Rules, by Julie Kagawa

In a future world, Vampires reign. Humans are blood cattle. And one girl will search for the key to save humanity.

Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a vampire city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten.

Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them. The vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself is attacked—and given the ultimate choice. Die… or become one of the monsters.

Faced with her own mortality, Allie becomes what she despises most. To survive, she must learn the rules of being immortal, including the most important: go long enough without human blood, and you will go mad.

Then Allie is forced to flee into the unknown, outside her city walls. There she joins a ragged band of humans who are seeking a legend—a possible cure to the disease that killed off most of humankind and created the rabids, the mindless creatures who threaten humans and vampires alike.

But it isn't easy to pass for human. Especially not around Zeke, who might see past the monster inside her. And Allie soon must decide what—and who—is worth dying for.

THE IMMORTAL RULES, by Julie Kagawa, has to be the best book that I have read this year. At first a skeptic (Dystopian with a side of vampires? Yeah, I've seen that quite a few times!), the story quickly transformed me into a true believer. Though, to be honest, I don't think it surprised me any. Kagawa has a way with words that is like magic, turning simple descriptions into realistic settings that you can almost sense with all five of your senses.

For me, the characters were probably the selling point to the whole story. You have an incredible female lead that not only grows, but stays consistent in herself no matter what is happening in the book. This works incredibly well because Allison (lead) starts off as a strong character, yet somehow manages to grow and become an even stronger character by the end. The other characters stayed very true to their own stations as well. It's a very harsh world that THE IMMORTAL RULES takes place in and everyone seems to know their place in that world very well. Though, no matter how dark and dreary the world seems to be, there are always a handful of those who believe that it is better somewhere else and they will stop at nothing to get to that place. To be honest, their drive is endearing and I love the fact that it seems none of these characters seem to want to give up - no matter how hopeless they may feel at times.

This book is a little heavy... on descriptions, character emotion, story leads, etc. However, I couldn't see the book working any better with less story. Everything written in this story has a place and has a reason to be there. Every sentence has a purpose and to read it all is even more enthralling than reading a book with less... it has that much of an impact on the entire book. With Kagawa's twist of her own mythology on vampires, I know that all of my paranormal lovers will enjoy this tale. And even if you don't like vampires, if you like Dystopian stories then you will not want to miss this one. This story is about much more than vampires, but you'll have to read for yourself to understand what I'm talking about. Believe me, you won't be disappointed.

'The Reluctant Marquess' by Maggi Andersen 

is available as a free download in the Kindle store today 



The blurb 

Charity Barlow wished to marry for love. The rakish Lord Robert wishes only to tuck her away in the country once an heir is produced. 

 A country-bred girl, Charity Barlow suddenly finds herself married to a marquess, an aloof stranger determined to keep his thoughts and feelings to himself. She and Lord Robert have been forced by circumstances to marry, and she feels sure she is not the woman he would have selected given a choice. 

 The Marquess of St. Malin makes it plain to her that their marriage is merely for the procreation of an heir, and once that is achieved, he intends to continue living the life he enjoyed before he met her. 

 While he takes up his life in London once more, Charity is left to wander the echoing corridors of St. Malin House, when she isn’t thrown into the midst of the mocking Haute Ton. 

 Charity is not at all sure she likes her new social equals, as they live by their own rules, which seem rather shocking. She’s not at all sure she likes her new husband either, except for his striking appearance and the dark desire in his eyes when he looks at her, which sends her pulses racing. 

 Lord Robert is a rake and does not deserve her love, but neither does she wish to live alone.

Might he be suffering from a sad past? Seeking to uncover it, Charity attempts to heal the wound to his heart, only to make things worse between them. 

 Will he ever love her?

My fifth and latest novel, Ninepins – published today by Sandstone Press – is ‘closer to home’ in several respects than my other recent books.

For a start, it’s geographically closer. My previous novel was set in France, amongst the spectacular scenery of the Cevennes mountains, but Ninepins takes as its backdrop the familiar flatlands of the Cambridgeshire fens which surround the village where I live. All I had to do, when writing the book, was whistle the dog, open the garden gate and step outside, and I was in the landscape inhabited by my characters.

To some, this might seem like a step down into mundanity, but for me the fens, though flat, are never dull. For a start, there are those skies, heavy and toppling with cloud or empty and luminously blue, which always seem to take up a larger portion of reality than they have any right to do. And then there’s the water, the constantly encroaching water, which bubbles always just below the surface of the earth, waiting to reclaim this temporary, artificial land where no land should be.

The themes of Ninepins were close to home, too, at the time when I was writing it. The novel tells the story of Laura, a single mum who lives alone with her daughter, Beth, in the isolated former tollhouse known as ‘Ninepins’ – a corruption of ‘ninepence’, which was once the toll paid to cross the river there. Twelve-year-old Beth is asthmatic, lonely at school and increasingly distant from her mother. Into their lives comes Willow, a seventeen-year-old care-leaver with a mysterious past, and Willow’s social worker, Vince. We watch as Laura struggles to overcome her anxieties for Beth, and decide whether Willow is dangerous or merely vulnerable – or perhaps a bit of both.  

Like every mother of adolescent daughters, I’ve been no stranger to maternal anxiety. Perhaps I wasn’t conscious of it while I was writing the book, but now it’s abundantly clear to me: Laura’s fears, though different in their specifics, were at least some kind of mirror for my own.

All novels, I suppose, must have something of the author’s own experience in them. But writing Ninepins, for me, has been a walk along particularly well-known and intimate pathways.

W.I.P. Wednesday - 18th April

Today, I welcome back Romantic Fiction author Christina Courtenay

Thank you very much for inviting me to talk a little bit about my WIP, Carol!

Photos courtesy of the author

Having published three historical romantic novels, I’m very excited to be working on a time slip for a change, The Silent Touch of Shadows.  It’s at the final stages of copy-editing now, so nearly there, but it’s been a long time in the making ...

I first started writing this story many years ago, after I’d stayed at an old manor house which was reputedly haunted.  The owners told me they’d seen the ghost, a handsome man who looked as though he’d been there since the house was built some time during the late fifteenth century.  This intrigued me and I started to wonder what would make someone’s soul hang around a place for that length of time – it had to be something fairly traumatic!

I began to make up a story to account for this, and being a huge admirer of time slips, where the present and the past are interwoven, I decided that was what I wanted to write.  The Silent Touch of Shadows slowly evolved from there.

I’ve learned a lot about the writing process since I first set out to become an author, so this novel has gone through a lot of rewrites and changes, but I hope it’s all the better for it!

THE SILENT TOUCH OF SHADOWS

What will it take to put the past to rest?

Professional genealogist Melissa Grantham receives an invitation to visit her family’s ancestral home, Ashleigh Manor. From the moment she arrives, life-like dreams and visions haunt her. The spiritual connection to a medieval young woman and her forbidden lover have her questioning her sanity, but Melissa is determined to solve the mystery and be free to fall in love again.

Jake Precy, owner of a nearby cottage, has disturbing dreams too, but it’s not until he meets Melissa that they begin to make sense. He hires her to research his family’s history, unaware their lives are already entwined. But is the mutual attraction real or the result of ghostly interference?

Melissa slowly uncovers the tale of her ancestor Sibell’s love for handsome knight Sir Roger. Promised to another man, Sibell defies her domineering father to be with Roger. But does Roger keep his vow to stay with Sibell for eternity? Melissa desperately needs to find out ...

The Silent Touch of Shadows will be published on 7^th July 2012 by Choc Lit

Guest Author - Dee Ernst with International ebook giveaway

Dee Ernst is revisiting the blog as guest author again today.  Dee is celebrating the kindle publication of her latest novel

• Format: Kindle Edition
• ASIN: B007RYRDZW
• Paperback to follow

• Hi Carol – Thanks so much for letting me introduce two of my favorite people to your readers.  I wrote 
  A Different Kind of Forever a number of years ago.  This is the manuscript that got me an agent, and although she couldn’t sell the book, she loved the characters and story.  It’s interesting – she told me that she felt one of the problems with the book was the older woman/younger man dynamic, and that she knew editors weren’t very keen on that.  Boy, have times changed!
  
  
  I’d been working on a new book, a follow-up to Better Off Without Him - which you reviewed last year - when I realized I had a great story just sitting on my computer.  I had to tweek a few things – there’s a lot more texting now – but the story of Diane and Michael is just as good now as it was when I first wrote it.  It’s a little spicier than my last book, something that is a major embarrassment to my teen-aged daughter!
  
  
  The love story between a young rock star and an older, settled divorced mom could have been just a total fantasy, but I tried to imagine myself lucky enough to find an almost-perfect younger man, and I knew there’d be all sorts of problems along with all the good stuff.  So it’s not just candle-lit dinners and weekends in bed.  Hopefully, there’s also something for folks to really get their teeth into.
  
  
  It’s out as an ebook, and will hopefully available as a paperback on Amazon in the next few weeks.  Right now it’s $.99 and 79p in UK,  until May 1.  A real deal if you’re looking for a story with heat and heart.
  
  
  Find out more about Dee at  Wordpress blog
