'After I Do' by Taylor Jenkins Reid

From the BLURB: When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for? This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It’s about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you’ve got. And above all, After I Do ...

Interview with Cecelia Ahern, author of 'Lyrebird'

Hello Darling Readers, I’m thrilled to bring you a very special Q&A on the blog today – with Irish author Cecelia Ahern!   She’s the author of bestselling book (turned into tearjerker movie) P.S. I Love You , and another favourite book and film adaptation of mine – Love, Rosie . She’s also responsible for one of my favourite (much-missed!) comedy shows, Samantha Who? Cecelia Ahern’s latest book is Lyrebird , which I’m reading now and absolutely loving!   So without further ado, here’s a special December treat for you … *** Q:     Earlier this year you totally switched things up and released your first young adult debut in Flawed . What made you want to write for teens? And how was it harder/easier than writing for adults?  The story decided it for me. While I’d been asked for years if I would write for Young adults, my response was, ‘I will if I get the idea’. I’m not the kind of writer who decides a genre first, I really follow the ideas. When Flawed ...

Interview with Laura Elizabeth Woollett, author of 'The Love of a Bad Man'

Q: Tell me about how you got published (agent or slush pile)? Neither, actually. I have an American agent who tried selling it over there in early 2015, but the general response was, “great idea, but we’re not doing short stories right now,” and, “tell us when she has a novel.” I ended up going to the US mid-2015 to research my next novel. A couple of months after my return, I did a reading for a Melbourne Writers Festival event and Marika Webb-Pullman, a commissioning editor from Scribe, happened to be in the audience. The next morning, she emailed me asking to see what I was working on, and I had a two-book deal within a month.   Q: How long did it take you to write ‘The Love of a Bad Man’ - from first idea to final manuscript?  In 2012, I finished my degree and my first novel, The Wood of Suicides. After that, I had a bit of a fallow period, writing-wise, but was reading more nonfiction, looking for ideas. I think I was committed to the idea of the collection by early 2013 ...
