Kim talks book interviews Yours Truly

Kim Talks Books interviews yours truly.
“A few weeks ago, I found out about Nick Alexander through some of his fans on Twitter. I was curious, so I picked up two of his books–The Half-Life of Hannah and The Case of the Missing Boyfriend–for my beloved Kindle. I wasn’t disappointed. Both books are great reads (get thee to Amazon or your fave bookstore and buy his books ASAP). I tracked down Nick and asked him if I could interview him for kimtalksbooks.” <more here>

The reviews of The Half-Life of Hannah are in!

Frothyreads.com reviews The Half-Life Of Hannah.
“This exceeded my expectations, such a nuanced, well-written tale. All the characters are well thought out, and the surprises along the way (which I didn’t see coming) make it unputdownable once you’ve got into it.”

Kindle Book Review reviews The Half-Life Of Hannah.
“I loved the characters Hannah, Jill and Tristan. I thought that all of the characters were well developed and it was a thoroughly engaging story. This book also addresses some serious issues, it does it tastefully but also raises awareness to the reader.I loved this and I can not wait to read more of this author’s books. I have rated The Half Life of Hannah 5 stars.”

I don’t know how to find you…

I remember a discussion, thirty years ago at a dinner party in Cambridge. Someone mentioned something they had seen on TV and one of the guests surprised and intrigued us all by saying that he didn’t even have a television. A discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of having TV ensued, and after half an hour of friendly debate, a surprising conclusion was reached. We would all, without exception, be happy to get rid of our televisions, but only if everyone else did. Continue reading

On the 2nd of September my new novel The Half-Life Of Hannah, will be published in ebook form on Kindle, iBooks, and Kobo, but if you can’t wait till then, check out Elderjuice.com who are now serialising the entire novel at the rate of one chapter a day. You can discover Hannah a full month even before the ebook comes out.

Here’s the blurb.
“Exciting new drama from the author of the #1 bestseller, The Case Of The Missing Boyfriend.”
If your first love came back to offer you everything you ever dreamed of, what would you do? Hannah is thirty-eight and the happily married mother of eleven-year-old Luke, the diamond in her world. Her marriage is reassuringly stable, pleasantly ordinary and after fifteen years she has managed to push the loves and dreams of youth from her mind and concentrate on the low-key satisfactions of here and now. The first half of her life hasn’t been as exciting as she had hoped, but then, she reckons, whose has?
When she succeeds in convincing husband Cliff to rent a villa in the south of France for their summer vacation she’s expecting little more than a pleasant few weeks with her family. But when a phone call at the villa announces the imminent arrival of a ghost from her past, Hannah’s world is turned upside down. Suddenly the calm holiday ambiance is transformed into a raging sea of jealousy and drama as Hannah struggles to re-frame the last fifteen years of her life.
But is she brave enough to take the life-changing decisions her future happiness requires? Or is she destined to make do with half a life for the rest of her days?”
If you’d like a copy of the ebook free of charge, make a note in your diary. At precisely 2:22pm on the 2nd of September, it will be a free download from the Apple, Kobo and Google Play!!

The Case Of The Missing Boyfriend is out in Italian!

My first ever translated novel is out in bookshops all over Italy (and as an ebook) and even sold out in a few places!
Published by one of Italy’s premier publishing houses Sonzogno, the title in Italian is “Le ambigue verità des cuore” which translates roughly as “Ambiguous truths of the heart.”

2011 – What a year!

Well, what an amazing year it’s been.
Early in 2011 I finished Sleight of Hand and released it as an ebook (to thankfully good reviews.)
I read from it in March at Paul Burston’s Polari event which was, as always, brilliant fun.
Having finally given up on ever finding a publisher for The Case Of The Missing Boyfriend (written in 2010 in fact) I decided to self publish it on Kindle. Continue reading

My novels to be republished by Corvus!

UK Publisher Corvus have aquired world English language rights to my bestselling kindle title The Missing Boyfriend, an as-yet untitled sequel, and my entire 50 Reasons backlist!
Corvus will be releasing their own digital editions of all of my titles starting in August 2011 and then will progressively be releasing paperback editions starting in April 2012.
Corvus are probably the youngest most dynamic publishers in the UK today and I’m chuffed to bits that they are so excited about my work.
