Guest Post: ‘All in the Mind’ – The jobs that led to me becoming an author by Samantha Hayes, author of In Too Deep

Posted May 3, 2016 by Charlotte in Blog Tour, Guest Post / 0 Comments

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for In Too Deep with a Guest Post entitled All in the Mind by Samantha Hayes. This is a book that I am currently reading, I’m right in the middle and I’m not sure where this is going to go. But no spoilers, so far it is pretty amazing! Below All in the Mind by Samantha Hayes where Samantha shares some of the things that led her down the path to become an author. Read below – All in the Mind by Samantha Hayes: You’ve done a number of different jobs in the past. Did any of these lead to your decision to become a writer? When I was younger, I kind of drifted around not having a clue what I was going to do with my life. I left school aged 16, which until recently I’ve always regretted. I went through a relationship breakup (which looking back now seems silly, but felt immense then) but I also suffered another very traumatic event around that time. It’s no wonder that studying dropped off […]

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for Breaking Dead by Corrie Jackson with guest post From fashion to crime: writing both ends of the spectrum. I loved this book (check out my review), it was so much better to what I was expecting and I was hooked. And I cannot wait to see what happens next. Below Corrie talks about how she moved from fashion to crime and its a fascinating piece. And don’t forget to check out other blog stops for more exclusive gossip 🙂 From fashion to crime: writing both ends of the spectrum: Over a decade on women’s magazines has given me a front-row view of the fashion industry in all its Technicolor glory. I’ve interviewed Kate Moss while Alexander McQueen pinned clothes onto her post-baby body. I’ve watched seamstresses craft couture dresses that cost more than my car. I’ve spent 24 hours in Milan with an Italian style icon who owns two apartments: one for her…and one for her wardrobe. Fashion really is the stuff of dreams. But, like any billion-dollar industry, skeletons lurk […]

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The Last Kiss Goodbye by Tasmina Perry with a guest post of Tasmina Perry’s Favourite Movies Set in France. I loved this book, and one that I wished I had read so much sooner! This is undoubtedly a book for everyone, no matter what genre is your favourite! Don’t forget to visit other blog stops along the tour for other great content. Below Tasmina shares her favourite films set in France and let me tell you they are good ones 😉 Tasmina Perry’s Favourite Movies Set in France I love setting parts of my books in France. It’s such a romantic and beautiful country that I keep gravitating to writing scenes there. I try and go as often as I can but I find the next best thing is indulging in a book or a movie set in France. Here are some of my favourite French-set films….. French Kiss It’s a bit silly this one but I absolutely love it. Jilted Meg Ryan chases her fiancé to France only to get mixed up with […]

Posted August 30, 2015 by Charlotte in Blog Tour, Guest Post / 1 Comment

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The Waiting Game by Jessica Thompson with an extract of The Waiting Game. I loved reading The Waiting Game (see my review) despite feeling sad most of the time… But in a good, everything is going to turn out fine kind of way. Below I have an exclusive extract from The Waiting Game, which was such an important moment in the book because this scene offers so much solace to Nessa and Kat (but I’m going to shut up now before spoilers occur!). Enjoy! Remember to check out the other stops on the tour for some great content! Extract: January 14th 2015 . . . ‘Oh my god, I’m so, so nervous,’ Kat said, standing opposite her sister in the frozen car park. Her scarf came unravelled from her coat and blew in a rippling curl, jostled by the freezing cold wind. ‘Me too. Are we sure that this is the right thing to do?’ Nessa had asked, looking back at her car. The air was so cold it was […]
