How's that for Ws, huh? It's the name of my next novel, so I thought I'd use the occasion to show off the PINK cover!
And the blurb!
For twenty-five-year-old Willow Watts, life has settled into a predictably dull routine: days behind the counter at her father's antique shop; nights watching fuzzy telly whilst the elderly residents of Britain's Ugliest Village bed down for yet another early night. But everything changes when Willow's epically embarrassing Marilyn Monroe impersonation is uploaded to YouTube. A canny viewer spots Marilyn's ghostly image hidden in the film and Willow becomes an international sensation.
Her dire little town is suddenly overrun with fans proclaiming her to be the 'new Marilyn'. Egged on by the villagers - whose shops and businesses are cashing in - Willow eagerly embraces her new identity, dying her hair platinum and scoffing cakes to achieve Marilyn's legendary curves.
But when the only man she has ever truly loved returns, seeking the old Willow, it's decision time. Should she risk stardom and the village's new-found fortune on love? Or is being Marilyn Willow's real ticket to happiness?
Yeah, baby! :)
It was a load of fun to write! It's due out in paperback in November, but like The Hating Game, it will available a few months before hand on Kindle. You can add it to Goodreads here, if you so desire.
And a final note before I go! The wonderful Laura over at Chick Lit Love is featuring my Top Tips to write chick lit each day until Saturday. Have a gander, if you like.
Ack! First commentor so the first one who gets to GUSH!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for this novel!!! I adored The Hating Game and Willow has already captured my heart on the book cover alone!!!
I think I need to add this to my Must-Haves tab immediately!!! I've got some work to do!!
Much lovely pinkness! You must be thrilled, it looks fab. Now don't go breaking Novelrank when it's released will you, dear?!
ReplyDeleteI'm hopping over for your tips!
The cover looks great, Talli! And the blurb looks really interesting. I can't wait to read the book. I don't have a Kindle unfortunately, but I'm definitely going to buy the book as soon as it's available. I'm sure I'll read it all the way through right away, just like I did with your book The Hating Game.
ReplyDeleteFun storyline! Love the cover.

ReplyDeletegreat W post

ReplyDeleteaww! That sounds adorable! And i could totally see it as a movie.
ReplyDeleteNice twist to the Marilyn name. Do you realise that the fonts on the pink cover remind one of The Pink Panther? And I'm not saying that in a negative way.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great story (I like 'fame costing a fortune' - serious irony there).
Wonderful 'W'!
I have three W's too - take a look?
