Sharon Griffiths’ debut novel The Accidental Time Traveller was a hit with book-readers when it hit the UK markets last summer through Avon. Now Sharon is back with her second novel entitled The Lost Guide to Life and Love, and it’s due out on 7th September 2009. I love the green cover, and I’ll definitely be reading a copy when it’s released. Here’s the synopsis:

“Follow food writer Tilly Flint as she discovers her roots, her sense of adventure and the secret to happiness in this timeless, inventive tale for fans of Eva Rice and Kathleen Tessaro. Do the answers to Tilly Flint’s future lie in her past? In a nightclub full of the rich and famous, a glamorous model leaps from a window and escapes into the night. Food writer Tilly Flint - on a rare date with boyfriend Jake - is sole witness to her flight. Little does she know the chain of events set to unfold! The following week, Tilly and Jake have the last of many arguments, leaving Tilly alone in the wild Pennines landscape where she’s on assignment. Terrified yet strangely exhilarated, she investigates the area - and finds more than a few surprises. Intrigued to learn that, as an only child, she has family in the area, Tilly starts to dig deeper, discovering her great grandmother’s past and the eerie parallels with her own life. As she explores the treacherous moors, she stumbles across mysterious pieces of cherry-red ribbon. What do they signify? And who is the strangely familiar face in the local pub? Then a chance encounter with celebrity Clayton Silver leads Tilly into a high-octane world that spells danger. Can the ribbons from the past be a lifeline in the present? “

Look out for it in the shops from September.
