Since November 2009Author Interview: Olivia Ryan
Posted on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 by Leah
Olivia Ryan is the author of three novels all telling “Tales From”: Tales From a Hen Weekend, Tales From A Wedding Day and Tales From A Honeymoon Hotel. The books don’t follow each other as Olivia explains below. I haven’t read any of the three but I think they all sound fab. Olivia also writes under her real name of Sheila Norton and has had 5 books published under her Sheila name.
1. Describe your latest novel in a sentence.
Three very different couples meet on their honeymoon on a Croatian island - but it soon becomes apparent that they all have difficulties to overcome in their relationships.
2. Will there be a fourth “Tales from…” book? They all sound like fab reads!
Thank you! No - the series was marketed as a ‘trilogy’ (even though the books are all separate stories, with different characters), because they make up a nice set as a hen weekend story, a wedding story and a honeymoon story. We felt it would be overdoing it somewhat to carry on with a pregnancy story or a divorce story!

Erica Bauermeister‘s fiction debut The Monday Night Cooking Club will be released on 25th February 2010 and sounds like a fantastic read. It’ll be another to go onto my Amazon wishlist. I also love the cover for it. Here’s the synopsis for it:
And the winner of Maggie Alderson’s newest book How To Break Your Own Heart is.. COMMENT #9: Alison.
Ruth Saberton‘s debut novel under her own name Katy Carter Wants A Hero is due out on the 1st April 2010 published by Orion and sounds like a hilarious read, I for one will be looking out for it. Ruth also writes under the name Jessica Fox for Little Black Dress who are publishing her The Hen Night Prophecies Series. The synopsis for Katy Carter Wants A Hero reads:
The cover of Expecting Emily had a quote by Cathy Kelly saying the novel was “Very funny and original” and I thought that was a good sign since I very much enjoy reading Cathy Kelly. 
Maggie and Olivia have been best friends forever and have one major thing in common: they’re both fat. That is until Olivia decides to have surgery and ends up a size 2 and with everything she’s ever wanted. 
Alex Coleman‘s second novel, following The Bright Side which sounds fab, is due out on the 29th October and will be called Little Black Everything. It sounds like an interesting read and one to keep our eyes peeled for!
