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/

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
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>
2012 has been an amazing year for me bookwise and it’s all down to you, so thanks!

The internet had worn Billy down. That and sheer loneliness.
So despite having spent years arguing with his friends, years insisting that sex was not a pastime like kite-flying or roller-blading, that sex was somehow “sacred”; years insisting that he still believed in love and relationships, he had finally caved in. Two years without so much as a single kiss had left him desperate for physical contact with another human being: he had agreed, for the first time in ten years, to meet someone for a “no-strings” sex date.

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.”
