Build Your Perfect Man!

Roll right up, ladies! (And men, because . . . well, it's fun!) Today, in honour of the official ebook launch of Build A Man, I'm giving you the chance to create your ideal partner. Just complete this tongue-in-cheek poll over at the mock Beauty Bits blog. The fictional blog features in my novel and also holds polls to help readers build the nation's perfect man.

Tomorrow, I'll unveil the final composite as chosen by my poll participants! Should be... interesting. I must admit, I had to giggle at some of the options as I put together the poll.

If you'd like to read the novel, Amazon UK has kindly discounted it the bargain price of 72p! It's also available on Amazon.com,  Kobo and Barnes & Noble, and it will be out in paperback next year.

I'm also visiting wonderful YA author and blogger Emma Pass today; One More Page is interviewing me about Christmas and holding a giveaway; and Chick Lit Plus has reviewed Build A Man!

And that's not all. Oh no it's not. Chick Lit News and Reviews is also talking to me today about my future plans, among other things. Yay! And I'm also at Susan Kaye Quinn's, chatting about Christmas in a foreign land. I'm even hiding behind your bedroom door, so check me out there, too!

I want to say a giant thank you to everyone who has read or reviewed my novels this year, helped me spread the word, bought my books, and generally been amazingly supportive! This year has been a whirlwind and I couldn't have done it without you.

Head to the poll here. It's fun! I'll give you wine! :)

UPDATE: YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS

    I just did that poll Talli, and boy howdy a bunch of us are all on the same page when it comes to building the perfect man. Good thing you really can't create one really, you'd have to clone him a billion times.

    Love your choices by the way. Especially Jack Black. Fun Stuff.

    Happy P-Day to you! That was a fun quiz to do - some bizarre choices of men for some of the body parts though. Can't wait to see what the final 'ideal' looks like!
