Can you believe there's only one more week until Christmas? Today, I'm helping to spread the word about Glynis Smy's new novel, Maggie's Child. Glynis is one of the most supportive bloggers out there and a fabulous friend to have on side. So without further ado, here's more about her latest!
.jpg)
When
farmer’s wife Maggie Sawbury gives birth to her fifth child, the only one that
has lived and the result of an extra-marital affair, she is heartbroken and
desperate. Maggie knows her joyless life with a bully of a husband is not one a
child should endure, and she leaves the baby at the roadside to be found by
passers-by.
Her money-driven husband
announces he has found her another job in the village of Redgrave, aside from
the many tasks she has on Windtop farm. He is totally unaware the position
comes with a secret. One that frightens and yet brings joy to Maggie. She is to
become wet-nurse to her abandoned child.
Love, and the possibility of
incest, threaten to open old wounds, and Maggie has several decisions to make.
However, will they be the right ones? If she tells all she knows, it will bring
about the destruction of three families. Equally, her silence could be just as
destructive. She shares her secret with another, the result changes her life,
and a death brings with it more secrets. Will Maggie stay or will she walk away
and find the love she craves?
The ebook will be available at a Christmas - New Year price of 99c via
Amazon, (and other Amazon outlets around the world).
Want to win a paperback copy?

It sounds like an interesting book! A difficult marriage definitely can make for an interesting story, especially when you add the other elements like the child left at the road. And I like the cover of the book too!
ReplyDeleteI'm still getting over Ripper My Love - heartbreaking, devastating and addictive... I'll definitely be grabbing this one too! Well done Glynis
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Talli

Talli, thank you for featuring Glynis! She's not only a fine writer but very supportive of her peers!
ReplyDeleteI don't get where incest plays a part in the book. Also, how does the author pronounce her name?
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this. It’s exactly what I was looking for!
ReplyDeleteTalli - I've given you the Very Inspiring Blogger Award if you want to accept it!
ReplyDeleteSusan, Thanks, I do hope folk find it so!
ReplyDeleteJai, many thanks.
Cherie, Thank you, I am pleased with how it turned out.
Neurotic Workaholic, Thanks! I am lucky my marriage is a good one, so I used the idea of writing the opposite for Maggie. Poor girl.
Laura, thank you so very much for the wonderful comment.
Norma, thanks!
Anita, my name is pronounced Glinis smi ... as for the incest, the clue is in the book, it is there, Maggie worries about the idea a few years into the story.
Jual, so pleased.
CONGRATS to Glynis on her new release!
ReplyDeleteSusanne, thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I can't wait to read Maggie's Child! I am off to buy or pre-order a copy now.
ReplyDeleteI've bought it and liked the Amazon page but just thought I should mention the link in this post is to the American site - maybe post a UK link too for reader ease of use?
ReplyDeleteDJ, thank you so much for your support. Great point, I only had one link at time of launch, as I live outside of UK it automatically puts it into .com. I will pop the UK one here now I have it, just in case someone finds it later.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maggies-Child-ebook/dp/B00ANY5ASA/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355950015&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=maggies+child+by+glynis+smy
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds great. Congratulations to Glynis!!
ReplyDeleteWow! My imagination was certainly taken to a different place and set of circumstances with this post. Congratulations Glynis!
ReplyDeleteLaura, thank you!
ReplyDeleteMichael, the funny thing is, Talli didn't connect the title to her pending delivery! It certainly found a few folk reading my good news though, and for that I am grateful. Thank you. :)
Sounds like a great post-Christams read, Maggie! It is now added to my to be read list...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat! Happy Christmas. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Talli you are bad I thought you had a new arrival early. I am reading This book at the moment and really enjoting it but my heart bleeds for Maggie, so hope it has a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteI knew Glynis had a book coming out. Congrats! to Glynis. Best wishes for Maggie's Child!
ReplyDeleteAnne, ooh, I wonder if there is a happy ending, poor Maggies has been through so much! ;) Thank you for reading, and glad you are enjoying the book.
