Novel #12 |
On Saturday, I'll be hosting a book launch
party for Perfection,
my new adult novel. The festivities kick off at 10:00 a.m. and go until noon.
For those who can't be there early, the doors open again at 8:00 p.m. and the
fun continues until 10:00 p.m. Feel free
to join us by clicking this link.
What's
the book about? An 18-year-old girl makes her way through
the minefield of a relationship with a 22 year-old guy, who may or may not be
all he seems. Yes, he has secrets.
The novel is one of those stories that
writers appreciate muchly. It came complete, a gift I accepted graciously since
there are two other books that follow. Those story ideas came along with Perfection
and have also been a fun experience.
Why should you read Perfection?
- The story is set in Jamaica, which gives it a different flavour from books set in any other location.
- It brings back youthful experiences—the choices, the heartache, the insecurities.
- It shows the growth process of a girl who hides her insecurities well. Many of us can relate to being young and unsure we're doing the right thing.
- If you've read anything I've written before, you know the characters will be interesting and the plot twisty. (A sample is posted here)
Perfection
can be pre-ordered on Amazon and you're invited to join the party on Saturday
of this week. There will be prizes and surprises and did I mention fun? Yes,
there will be lots of that. Drop in here to see what's
been posted already.
On another
note, the Blogging

ReplyDeleteHey, Peaches, I appreciate your support.
DeleteI will be getting the book. I just have to save up a bit of money. However, I love your books because they are set in Jamaica. My favorite series is the middle grade ones.
ReplyDeleteHi, Clarissa,
DeleteAlways great to hear from you. I guess you're writing up a storm.
I still haven't finished the third book in that series, now that you remind me of it. :(
