Coming soon: The Book Between Us

Watch this space (or not) for an upcoming book that will appear as soon as I motivate myself to format it into an e-book! Oh boy! What a pointless announcement!

Love and Potato Chips

 Hailey enjoys being a teacher, she likes the school year and she likes her summer breaks. She's looking forward to her time off with Doug, however she is summoned by her mother to come home and help with her parents anniversary party for the summer. There she makes some unpleasant discoveries in the form of her two least favorite people - the adored by all, Beau and the adored by none, cousin Mimi Lou. Sneaking away from her fitness crazed cousin and indulging in clandestine secret ice cream seems to be the only respite she'll be getting, and why isn't Doug responding to her attempts to contact him?

                                             

You're waiting for my disclaimer on this one aren't you? Well, you are right. I have one. This is a romance novel. If you have a horror of such things you don't want to pick up this one! Also there is a person who prays in this novel! Gasp! If you can't stomach that, then this just isn't for you. 

Charlotte's Ordinary Life

Family relationships are complicated. Especially for Charlotte. She loves her sisters, her deceased mother and even though she wouldn't put her father on that list of loved ones, what happened to him was not her fault - truly. This account of her life proves her innocence but may also show some things she'd rather not reveal. 

Charlotte thinks she has life all figured out. Doing the same things all the time is safe and predictable and that's what she wanted or so she thought. The problem is she's increasingly dissatisfied with everything. Her 'boyfriend of the month club' doesn't seem to be working for her anymore, she hates her job, is tired of her sister's lectures and her dad - well avoiding him at all costs is her regular mode of operation.

Deluded, she thinks she's found the solution to her discontentment in Derek. He's handsome, rich and... well... a little dull, but she's willing to overlook that. Somehow, she has to convince him to marry her and evade her slightly nerdy, but nice neighbor across the hall, while dodging her father and ignoring her sisters. But it's not going to be a problem, because she has a plan. She always has a plan.

But maybe always having a plan is the problem....

Warning:
This book is Women's Fiction. Really. That means it's about women and their relationships and it even has romance.

I'm not kidding folks, if you're not in touch with your feelings, are in denial over having them, or think they're embarrassing (okay, same thing as the first two mentioned here, but maybe more identifiable) this probably isn't the book for you, as a matter of a fact, you'll probably hate it.

If this describes you, go find something with loads of action, weird governments and crazy worlds.
Don't read this book.

That's my disclaimer.
