Since November 2009Author Interview: Gemma Burgess
Posted on Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 by Leah
I adored Gemma Burgess’s debut novel The Dating Detox and was so thrilled that Gemma said yes when I asked if she would like to do an interview with us! Here it is and I for one think it’s a rather fantastic interview. Here are Gemma’s answers!
1. Tell us about your debut novel The Dating Detox.
The Dating Detox is an anti-romantic comedy. It charts the adventures of relationship-challenged Sass as she navigates London’s bastard-infested waters with nothing but a vow of dating chastity to protect her…
I wanted to write a book that was about girls being very funny even when life is going badly wrong. Something that was comforting and chatty and warm but not fluffy or patronising.
2. What can you tell us about your second book, The Late Starter/The Dating Virgin?
Ha – Oh God, I have to choose a title soon, I’d love your readers thoughts on it!
I think The Dating Virgin has a nice ring to it, but I don’t want people to think it’s a sequel to The Dating Detox, as it’s a different story altogether: it’s about a girl who leaves her boyfriend after a seven-year relationship and has to learn to date and be single from scratch… It’s something that a lot of women I know have been through and it’s very hard. Her flatmate is a classic class-A bastard, and he teaches her everything he knows, and so she approaches the dating world like a man – or more specifically, like a bastard…

Yet another 2010 release that’s had it’s cover changed before publication is Jane Beaton’s second novel Rules. I prefer this one by far to the original which you can still see 
Sasha Wagstaff’s second novel Wicked Games is due for release on 18th March 2010 and the beautiful cover has finally been released. Isn’t it fantastic? The synopsis sounds fantastic also:
