Hello, I'm a writer, please don't run away!
Well, now that I have you tied to a chair, let me explain, and apologize for the self-promo.
I'm a self-published author (of four books so far) and I'm trying to save for my masters degree in Creative Writing. Which, as you can imagine is expensive.
I've recently published my fourth book, and while the rest are m/m dramas, this is a kind of chick-lit, humour novel, for people who...kind of hate a lot of the chick-lit that they actually read, but still like the idea of there being funny books out there for women.
Here's the blurb, and a link. I'd be really grateful if you'd take a look.
Prior Engagements, by Sarah Goodwin
Annie is not enjoying her roaring-twenties as much as she should be. She’s been jilted at the altar by Stephen-the-indecisive, is paying off a mountain of wedding debt by holding down two jobs, and her flat is mostly made of cardboard and spackle.
Then at work she meets a man in need of a date to his ex-fiancée’s wedding. Annie goes, and one wedding and four bottles of wine later, she finds herself getting married in Vegas to Dorian, an erotic illustrator.
Of course, it’s all great and romantic, until someone loses an eye, which here means, ‘until Annie gets home, and realizes that her best friend (and boss) Will, has kind of been working up to popping the question himself. Will is not happy to see Annie married, in fact he’s willing to trade his Mohawk and every Ke$ha CD he owns to get Dorian out of the way.
As if that wasn’t enough to make things tense at work, Annie’s best-work-friend Yvonne (who knows something really fun you can do with a rugby player, some roller skates and chocolate spread) can’t resist getting involved in Annie’s love life. Neither can Dorian’s kleptomaniac sister Fifi, Dorian’s ex-bride and Annie’s mother.
In between breaking into cafés, having her door kicked down by the police and trying not to kill each and every one of her friends and relatives, Annie tries to work out how the hell her life got so complicated.
