She goes out and gets drunk with her friend Helen, and makes a huge mistake, one that could affect not only her and Max’s relationship but also their business too.

Author Interview: Giselle Green

Posted on Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 by Leah

Picking up Giselle Green’s 2009 release Little Miracles, I had no idea what to really expect. Giselle was billed as the ‘British Jodi Picoult’ so I started it eagerly. I absolutely adored it and it won a Chick Lit Award 2009 in Women’s Fiction Book of the Year. Just after I finished reading the book, I emailed Giselle to tell her just how much I’d loved her book. She was thrilled and as well as sending me her other two books (can’t wait to get stuck into them), Giselle also agreed to do an author interview. Now, with her latest book A Sister’s Gift about to hit the shelves, here is that author interview:

1. Tell us about your next novel A Sister’s Gift?

It’s a story of sibling love, rivalry and the extreme lengths people will go to, to achieve their heart’s desire. Hollie, desperate for a baby, asks her blonde bombshell younger sister Scarlett to act as her surrogate. Unwisely perhaps, as Scarlett is the least maternal woman in the world, but when she finally agrees to help she has her own ulterior motive for doing so. Both sisters are blind themselves to the consequences of their actions till the day comes for payback… It’s also, ultimately, about forgiveness.

2. Are you working on a fourth book? (I really hope so!)

I’ll definitely be working on a fourth book sometime soon, but I’ve only just sent this one off. Having come to the end of a three-book contract I’m delighted to have a little bit of space to allow the next book to come in gently. Having said that, I’ve got some interesting thoughts and ideas for what’s coming next…

Book News: Silent Crossing by Ellen McCarthy

Posted on Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 by Leah

Ellen McCarthy’s third novel Silent Crossing was released in December and seems to be one we’ve missed thus far. It was published by Poolbeg Press and sounds like a fantastic and mysterious read. I love the simplicity of the cover. Here’s the synopsis:

A young man emerges from a car crash on a remote road in Boston. Although he walks away unscathed the crash has claimed an innocent life. Sixteen years later Melanie Yeats walks into a Garda station with her hands stained in blood. As she gradually reveals her story the detectives are left with more questions than answers.

What is the connection between Melanie, her missing husband, the car crash in Boston and the death of a young woman? Is Melanie a murderer or a victim? Whose blood is on her hands? Where will her story lead them?
