Over on High Heels and Book Deals, I'm talking about how many drafts I go through, among other things.
On Trashionista, you can enter to win a copy of Construct A Couple.
The lovely Meredith Moore has posted a rather nice review of Construct A Couple on her blog. Thanks, Meredith!
And to celebrate the launch, Build A Man will be free on Amazon for the next three days (.com; .co.uk). Yay! Grab your copy now if you haven't already.
A big thank you to everyone in blogland who, as always, is super-encouraging and supportive. So grab a glass of wine, champagne, or wine, and tell me:
What do you think makes a successful couple?
I'm going to say patience. For both Mr TR and me!
Have a great day, everyone, and thanks for dropping by to help me celebrate!
Off to purchase my copy now, and to read some of the blog posts! Have a fab launch day, Talli.
ReplyDeleteOh, yay! Thanks, Joanna!
DeleteDownloading now!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Liz. Hope you enjoy it!
DeleteHappy Launch Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat makes a successful couple? I think common interests, humour and as you said, lots of patience!
Thanks, Kyra! And yes, common interests are really important.
DeleteCongratulations Talli! Looking forward to reading it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Scarlet!
DeleteCongratulations, Talli! Have already started reading this! Wishing you lots of success with it.
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks for reading, Gina.
DeleteWishing you loads of success!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Just about to download. xx
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks, Kirsty.
DeleteCongratulations, Talli! Wine for all.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes a successful couple? Communication! (And other things...)
Yes, wine indeed!
DeleteAnd I agree... communication is critical.
Happy Launch Day! Have bought my copy and can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Debs!
DeleteI think you nailed it with patience.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats. *runs off to check other blogs*

Thanks, Justine. Yes, patience is so important!
DeleteYAY! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI would say patience definitely but also communication.
Definitely, Kathy!
DeleteSo happy for you! Wishing you huge sales! I'm off to the othe blogs and Amazon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em!
DeleteCongrats, Talli, wishing your new novel great success:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brigid!
DeleteCongratulations on the launch, Talli! :) And as to answer your question, I think the "thing to have" in a couple is simple: desire.
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!! Am raising my bottle of champers in your honour and doing a happy happy dance for you!! All the best!! Good luck and HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!! Take care
ReplyDeletex
Yay! Thanks so much, Karen.

ReplyDeleteHi Talli!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again :) I started reading it last night and I'm loving it already. It makes me smile because my hubby is called Jeremy (well, Jez, but his mum calls him Jeremy)
What makes a successful couple? I'd say, giving each other a lot of space, and letting the other person be themselves - not trying to make them more like you!
Hope you're having fun, Love Jo x
Congrats, Talli! I always love your book covers. I'm hoping to read this one soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat I think makes a successful couple? Patience is definitely good, as is honesty and communication. Most of the couples I know who have problems have them because of a lack of communication.
Yea! Congratulations!! Pour the champagne!!!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going over to see how many drafts you really do :)
Yay! Huge congrats Talli! I need to get on this series, it sounds right up my alley. And I'm going to go with the opposites attract - different strengths and weaknesses helping eachother out kind of couple as the key to success. But at the same time they have to have similar likes and dislikes. Otherwise spending time together might prove difficult.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! on everything! And I think success for a couple means only one can vent at a time. Not two. Only one. The other can simply nod. They can glare. They can even laugh. But only one can vent at a time.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again, I hope I will be reading this soon myself Talli. I am here catching up on all the posts I missed during my computer woes, so good to be back but at least I have been able to keep in touch in other ways!
ReplyDeleteHappy Launch Day!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I've been MIA in the blogosphere for about a month and missed so many great things! I'm so glad I didn't miss this! Congrats Talli!
ReplyDeleteAs for a successful couple... I have no answers! lol
Congratulations, Talli! Wheee so exciting :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the launch of your new book! Yipee!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Talli! Definitely patience, and respect, and forgiveness. I could probably think of more but I'm off to the other blogs you mentioned!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Talli, have a fabby day. Hgs xxx
ReplyDeleteHi, Talli,
ReplyDeleteCongrats Sweets! All the best with your FAB new book... LOVE TH COVER AND TITLE!
And thanks for the gift of BUILD A MAN. I will read it the first chance I get.
I hope all is well and beautiful in London. Still in FL. Hope to be back in CHi town by end of the month.
Congratulations, Talli!
ReplyDeleteI'd say patience, respect, love, and a whole lot of humour.
Hi Talli! CONGRATS! I just bought myself a copy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Talli! I'll lock everyone out of the house, so that I could read Build A Man and Construct A Couple before your next novel comes out! Julie
ReplyDeleteWhoo! Congrats!
ReplyDelete2 things all men need to provide when they're in a couple:
1. Hugs
2. Tea
That's the secret.
Talli, congrats on Construct a Couple!!!!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Happy Launch day! It's well deserved!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go pick up a copy! Congrats!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeletePatience communication forgiveness encouragement of one another's goals and dreams and humor. Must have humor
Congrats!!! I mentioned the launch in my post on Monday.

Congratulations! I hope it was a big day for you.
ReplyDeleteSuccessful couples keep believing that it's worth it, no matter what

ReplyDeleteAngela

Wanted to say Congrats, Talli!!! Yippee! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou see, I could have sworn I put a Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee post yesterday. Ah well. A toast today :-)
ReplyDeleteYaY, Talli! The book is on my wishlist. You're the most prolific writer I know.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Talli, and so happy to see you had a fab party yesterday. Sorry I missed it--have my head screwed on wrong at the mo what with this housemove, and was convinced yesterday was Thursday.
ReplyDeleteWill hope on over to your blog stops now and take a read, and also visit Amazon. I'm sure the launch is going terrifically well already, whoooot! Keep partying and here's a little toast: **cheers** (as it is past midday now!) xx
Congratulations on the launch, I'm just off to download a copy and start reading. Rosie Ash x
ReplyDeleteYou do have a lot going on! That's exciting -- congratulations on what I trust will be another successful launch!
ReplyDeleteWhat does it take to make a successful couple. Trust. Something that takes time to build but once it's in place, the pair can move mountains.
Have a great weekend, Talli!
Many congratulations Talli! You so deserve it - you work so hard... I don't know how you keep it all going. I shall get my copy post haste!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Talli! It looks a fabulous book. Before I check it out on co.uk, I think that couples should have mutual understanding. (I can dream)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Talli!
ReplyDeleteSo many thing make s good couple - love, patience, selflessness, commitment...:)
Best wishes with Construct a Couple!
Yay! Congrats, Talli. Love the cover. It's so much fun. Best advice would be: Keep working at it. Communicate, and SEX! LOL
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Talli! I need to download it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and a very happy release day!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Congratulations, Talli! :)
ReplyDeleteThere's no stopping her now! Talli's on a roll!! Congrats!! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! A good couple? Respect, empathy, communication, selflessness, support, affection(without it having to always be about sex)...oh, that's much more than two.
ReplyDeleteHappy release day! Exciting times, Talli. :) Hmm, here is an ideal recipe for a couple: One gallon love, two cups trust, a tablespoon of honesty, and a pinch of passion.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm hosting an awesome blogfest and critique giveaway for my birthday from June 22-24 if you are interested! Hope you have a great day.
