When Ruth Saberton emailed Chloe and I a few months ago and offered us a copy of her debut novel Katy Carter Wants A Hero I was thrilled as I read the blurb on Amazon a while back and loved the sound of it. I read it in early February and I then asked Ruth if she was interested in doing an interview with us and she agreed. Here are Ruth’s answers and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

1. Tell us about Katy Carter Wants A Hero?

“Katy Carter Wants a Hero” is about an aspiring romantic novelist who’s trying to juggle teaching, writing a novel and being the perfect partner for her fiancé, James. Katy’s a hopeless romantic (emphasis definitely on the hopeless part there!) and she’s sure that she’s found her perfect romantic hero in James – if only it wasn’t so hard to be the model girlfriend he expects! When her life takes an unexpected turn Katy finds herself out on her ear so decides to change her life. She runs away to Cornwall in search of a real romantic hero. Does she find him? Now, that would be telling!

2. What are you currently working on?

At the moment I am frantically working on “Unlucky in Love” which is the fourth book in the Hen Night Prophecy Series that I’ve been writing for Little Black Dress, under the pen name of Jessica Fox. Hopefully by the time you read this I will have finished it. I’ve also been finishing my next book for Orion. It’s called “Second Thoughts” and is all about a girl who gets cold feet on the eve of her wedding. In between all this I’m teaching Media Studies and promoting “Katy Carter Wants a Hero”. Phew!

In a fantastic exclusive courtesy of the lovely Claire Allan, Chicklitreviews.com brings you the first look at Claire Allan’s new novel It’s Got To Be Perfect which is due out in September 2010! This is Claire’s fourth book, and if it’s as good as her previous ones, then we’re in for a treat! Here is the great sounding synopsis:

“All Annie Delaney really wants is her happy ever after. A big dress. A big day. A big commitment. She even has a scrap book filled to bursting with ideas for her dream day, her dream home and – of course – her dream man.Only problem is, the current man on her arm isn’t so much of a dream as a nightmare and as for the man currently in her bed… that’s a whole other disaster in the making.With her relationship, and her life, heading into a tailspin Annie realises she has to re-examine just what can make her happy, while trying (and failing) not to make things worse.
