Book Cover: Positively Yours by Amanda Hearty

Posted on Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 by Leah

amandaheartypositivelyyours The cover has finally been released for Amanda Hearty’s second novel Positively Yours and I love it! It’s published on August 27th by Transworld and sounds like a great read:

Beth Prendergast has fallen hook, line and sinker for her boss. Tom Maloney is everything she wants in a man and they seem made for each other. But when Beth discovers that she is pregnant Tom makes it clear that a baby was never part of his plan. Is Beth really ready to take on motherhood all on her own?

Grace Miller’s life changed when she met and fell in love with American Ethan. A house near the beach in sunny San Diego is a far cry from the small terraced house where she grew up in North Dublin. But when Ethan’s firm offers a transfer to Ireland, Grace is unsure about moving back home and all the family pressure it will bring.

Erin Delaney has the perfect marriage, but still yearns for one thing – a child. Her husband John reassures her constantly that this will happen in good time. But Erin’s obsession with falling pregnant is getting worse and worse and soon puts a strain on their relationship.

As Beth, Grace and Erin all face big choices and changes of the heart, they soon realize their lives will never be the same again.

Author Interview: Veronica Henry

Posted on Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 by Chloe

To coincide with the review of her latest book, Marriage and Other Games, the lovely Veronica Henry said she would do a little interview with us for the blog! In case you haven’t heard of her (where have you been?!), Veronica’s written 7 books which have all been really successful, and she’s also a scriptwriter for TV shows as well. So let’s see what Veronica has to say in her interview…

1. Can you describe your latest novel in a sentence?
The theme is forgiveness - should you always be expected to forgive in a marriage, or are there times when you should forget your vows and move on?

2. How easy was it to make the transistion to writing novels from scriptwriting?
They are two very different disciplines. Scriptwriting is collaborative, you are very much part of a team, but there are also more restrictions - time limit, budget, continuity - that have to be taken into consideration. It also teaches you the craft of plotting, which was useful when I jumped ship. With novels you have more freedom, but you have to motivate yourself. I love both, but feel I am able to put more of myself into my novels.
