Today is a little different, mostly because I want to plug my debut novel. Now, one person I spoke to said that it being a romance novel put them off. I've written a lot of what I call 'mush', which is what I'm guessing is assumed by 'romance'. To me, romance isn't always mushy, and this isn't all that mushy. Someone else found it funny because they know me well and because where they came from romance meant something like 'sloppy erotica', which my book is certainly not. There's no passionate ripping of clothing or rampant bedroom antics, it's just romance and love.
There's a lot more to it than the romance side of things. It's more than just boy/girl meets girl/boy, tries to woo, succeeds. It's also not girl/boy meets wrong boy/girl but ends up with right boy/girl. There's a lot of that already and I wanted my book to be different, so it is!
This is the cover:
This is the blurb:
Kate is having the worst day of her life. Nothing is going right and
her life is falling to pieces around her. With the help of a friend,
she manages to pick herself up before life send her through another loop
and a whole lot more crazy.
Set in the titular
cathedral city of Salisbury, England, this is a romance novel with a
twist, and a few surprises along the way. Featuring cats, coffee,
zombies, and ferrets, Salisbury has something for everyone to enjoy,
including real locations that can be visited.
