What can I say other than ‘wow!’?
The Half-Life of Hannah has now been downloaded just over 275,000 times in Kindle, Google Play, Kobo, and Apple iBook format.
For the longest time (almost ten years) it was just about impossible to believe that any book of mine would ever sell that kind of quantity, so to all of you who stuck with me through those oh-so-difficult years, who told your friends, who bought copies yourselves, thankyou!
It’s pretty, but waay too early for snow.
Went to this amazing town called Ascros today. Luckily my camera does panoramics, because you simply couldn’t photograph this place any other way.
The French House, and The Case of the Missing Boyfriend have each broken the 200,000 barrier this month. Thanks so much readers. You’ve put a huge grin on my face.
Well there’s a first. After The Half-Life of Hannah reached #1 in Amazon’s Kindle chart, and spent five months in the top 20, my latest novel The French House has leapt straight in at #3! And the prequel The Case Of The Missing Boyfriend is back in the charts at #10 as well! I’m so touched by the enthusiasm of my readers. 2013 is looking to be the best year ever. Thankyou!
On the surface, The Case of The Missing Boyfriend appears to be a classic ‘chick lit’ tale of a thirty-something woman looking for love but it’s actually an in depth look at lead character CC’s life over the course of a year as she copes with the ups and downs thrown at her. As the novel started, CC reminded me very much of a cross between Bridget Jones and Carrie Bradshaw; she lives and parties in London, has a successful and glamorous career in advertising, owns her own flat and has a fabulous gang of gay male friends to keep her entertained and a couple of close female friends to put things in perspective.
Corvus, my publisher, has negotated a deal with AudioGo who distribute audiobooks for the BBC to produce audio versions of The Case Of The Missing Boyfriend and The French House.
These will be available in August from http://www.audiogo.com/uk/
“Nick Alexander, author of The Case of the Missing Boyfriend, The Half-Life of Hannah, among others, recently answered a few questions for our Novelicious readers.
Can you tell us a little about your average writing day?
I’ve always had a bit of a lazy streak, and I find it terribly difficult to get down to work. In the old pre-social-media days I would do anything to avoid getting down to work: housework, cleaning windows, polishing my keyboard, brushing the cat…” http://www.novelicious.com/2013/02/novelicious-chats-tonick-alexander.html
