I really loved Victoria Connelly’s debut English novel Molly’s Millions so I was thrilled when Victoria agreed to do an interview with us. Now you may have noticed I say her debut novel was her debut ENGLISH novel, that’s because Victoria had her first three books published in German which is a huge shame to us who don’t speak German and who would love to read them! Come on English publishers, get them published! I want to read ‘em. Anyway… let’s get onto the interview:

1. Describe your latest novel in a sentence.

Molly’s Millions is a romantic comedy about a lottery winner who tries to give it all away before her tight-fisted family and the media catch up with her.

2. What, if anything, are you currently working on?

I’m working on the first book in a trilogy about Jane Austen addicts.

Mike Gayle is one of my favourite authors and I’m so pleased when I see he has a new book out. His next release, The Importance of Being A Bachelor, is due for release on 13th May 2010 and the cover has finally been released. Mike’s books have only recently been re-designed but it seems they’ve gone through yet another re-design. I have to admit, I prefer the cover for The Life & Soul of the Party.

Despite the example of their own parents’ enduring marriage, the three Bachelor brothers show no signs of settling down. Adam has a string of glamorous girlfriends, but they aren’t suitable wife material. Luke has just proposed to Cassie but his refusal to consider having children looks like an insurmountable barrier. And baby of the family Russell is in love with the one woman he can’t have.

Then their father announces he has been thrown out of the family home and this forces all three brothers to examine their own priorities. Are all three Bachelor brothers totally hopeless cases or just late starters?
