It's high time I got back to blogging. A sick mother-in-law and a new puppy have stood between me and writing / blogging for too long now! The MiL is on the mend and the puppy is an angel, so no excuse.
I'm absolutely delighted that my fabulous writerly friend Annalisa Crawford has a new book coming out in a couple of weeks. I love her quirky style and I'm desperate to get my hands on a copy of this! Watch this space for a link when the time comes, but for now... isn't the cover lovely? The story sounds intriguing, too!
Release date: 10th
June 2014 Publisher: Battered
Suitcase Press
“The Boathouse collects misfits. Strange solitary creatures that yearn
for contact with the outside world, but not too much. They sit, glass in hand,
either staring at the table in front of them, or at some distant point on the
horizon.”
…
so says the narrator of Our Beautiful Child. And he’s been around long enough
to know.
People
end up in this town almost by accident. Ella is running away from her
nightmares, Sally is running away from the memories of previous boyfriends and
Rona is running away from university. Each of them seek sanctuary in the 18th
century pub, The Boathouse; but in fact, that’s where their troubles begin.
Ella
finds love, a moment too late; Rona discovers a beautiful ability which needs
refining before she gets hurt; and Sally meets the captivating Murray, who
threatens to ruin everything.
Three
women. Three stories. One pub.
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR:
I live in Cornwall UK,
with a good supply of beaches and moorland right on my doorstep to keep me
inspired. I live with my husband, two sons, a dog and a cat.
Despite my location,
I neither surf nor sail, and have never had any inclination to try. I much
prefer walking along a deserted beach and listening to the waves crashing over
rocks. For this reason, I really love the beach in the winter!

Interesting cover and blurb.
Thanks for sharing this today. I hope you get back to blogging soon, we miss you :-)
ohhh, that sounds like a good read! But with a rubbish memory like mine, you might have to do me a Facebook remind when it comes out!
You most certainly do need to get back to blogging :)
But you are the greatest bloggy friend to come out of hibernation to help your friends. That pretty freaking awesome of you!
Congratulations to Annalisa and her really awesome cover! Also, it's good to see you posting again, Linda (though, to be fair, I've had the confluence of new puppy and MIL before--not pretty, so good luck!)
I love the cover!
We got a puppy in the fall. They sure are a lot of work, but sweet too! Hope your MIL continues to improve.
Welcome back. How's the puppy?
Lovely cover, and an intriguing blurb too.
