Anita Notaro’s last book was released in 2008 so there’s been quite a wait between books but she’s finally back on 1st April 2010 with her next release No Ordinary Love. I loved her first two books Behind The Scenes and Back After The Break so I’m absolutely looking forward to this book! I quite like the simple cover, too. Here’s the synopsis:

Louisa is fed up with every aspect of her life. Boyfriend, job, flat - all these need an instant and radical makeover. And so she decides to change it all in favour of a carefree existence, exchanging her house for a trailer, her car for a motorbike, and her smart clothes for leisure wear. And, most of all, she starts a new business, as a dog counsellor.

With her best friends Maddy and Clodagh she embarks on a new regime - to meet different people, discover new places and find a fabulous new man. Her business brings her immediate and extraordinary rewards, as she meets the owners of dogs whose problems often seem to echo those of their owners. But whatever the stresses of her new life, Louisa has the support of her two friends. If only that could last forever…

Originally slated for an October 2010 release, Anita Notaro’s next novel No Ordinary Love has been brought forward 6 months and will now be released on 8th April 2010! Having loved Behind The Scenes and Back After The Break I look forward to No Ordinary Love. The synopsis reads:

Louisa is fed up with every aspect of her life. Boyfriend, job, flat - all these need an instant and radical makeover. And so she decides to change it all in favour of a gipsy existence in a mobile home, a motorbike, and clothes to match. And, most of all, she starts a new business, advising dog-owners on their pets’ behaviour problems.

With her best friends Maddy and Clodagh she embarks on a new regime - to meet different people, discover new places, find a fabulous new man. Her business brings her immediate and extraordinary rewards, as she meets the owners of dogs whose problems often, uncannily, seem to echo the problems of their owners.

But whatever the stresses of her new life, Louisa has the support of her two friends. If only that could last forever...

A few of my favourite authors have new books listed on Amazon, and of course I have to share them here with you! None of them have covers yet as most releases are for next year, but the titles are there, and a couple of synopsis’ too.

First up is Patricia Scanlan whose latest novel “Coming Home” is due out on 22nd October 2009. I have recently read my first Patricia Scanlan book and loved it, and this sounds like a brilliant read as well. Here’s the synopsis:
“Kristy Dunwoody, a now jobless ex-banking high flier, is moving from her expensive uptown apartment in New York to a fourth-floor walk-up studio on the wrong side of town and she’s vowing not to tell her family of her reduced circumstances when she returns home for her mother’s surprise 70th birthday.

Olivia Morgan, harassed wife and mother of three, put upon daughter and sister-in-law, is trying to organize her mother’s party, do her Christmas shopping and clear out the guest room for Kristy’s homecoming. Esther Dunwoody is dreading her birthday. She hopes there won’t be a fuss. She’d much rather get on with making the Christmas puddings and look forward to decorating the tree with her precious grandchildren. Little does she know there’s a big celebration in store …and there will certainly be surprises.”

Judy Astley is back with her 16th novel in July called Wearing Thin. No synopsis that I have been able to find yet, but Judy always writes an excellent story, and this is bound to be a brilliant summer read. Look out for it in the shops from 16th July.

Irish author Sharon Owens is back with her next book entitled “Seven Secrets of Happiness” through Poolbeg Press on 27th August. No synopsis is up yet, but we will update you when we can about that.$

Erica James, whose book “It’s The Little Things” was a great read and one I highly recommend (review coming soon!) has her next up on Amazon already. It’s due to be released on 18th February 2010 and is going to be called The Queen of New Beginnings. An intriguing title, but again there is no synopsis yet.

Anita Notaro is back with her next book No Ordinary Love on 7th October 2010, so there’s a bit of a wait for that one. However, if its as good as “Take A Look At Me Now”, her last book, it will be worth the wait!

I’ll post the synopsis’ when they become available, but I hope that was enough to whet your appetite for now!

Remember a few weeks back I mentioned a new Cecelia Ahern novel that comes out on October 1st? Well Amazon have added the title: The Girl of Tomorrow. There is still no cover or synopsis but it’s always nice to have any kind of information. I like the sound of the title and can’t help but wonder what it will be about.

I went to the book swop today and picked up three books. The Secret Life of Evie Hamilton by Catherine Alliott, Love The One You’re With by Emily Giffin and He Loves Me Not… He Loves Me by Claudia Carroll. I have loads - loads- of books in my to-read pile so I’ll get round to those new ones when I get around to them.

Louise Candlish, author of Prickly Heat, I’ll Be There For You (previously Sisters Avenue), The Double Life of Anna Day, Since I Don’t Have You and The Second Husband has a new novel out on August 6th called Before We Say Goodbye. The synopsis reads: ‘Why did she direct me to the only man in the world who can make me feel like this?’ The day Maggie Lane dies, she sends her daughter Olivia a letter containing dangerous information: the address of Olivia’s first love, Richie Briscoe. Olivia has not seen Richie for over twenty years, not since his desertion of her as a teenager almost destroyed her for good. She cannot understand why her mother’s last act should be to stir up old drama like him. Convinced that the note represents an admission of guilt, Olivia sets off for the idyllic seaside village where Richie now lives with his young daughter Wren. Soon she has fallen for him all over again ? and found in little Wren the daughter she never had. But there is a problem. For Olivia already has a husband and two sons. And where does this second chance at happiness put them? I like the sound of it and really enjoyed Since I Don’t Have You and have The Second Husband in my to-read pile.

Robyn Sisman has a new novel out in July currently Untitled; Jessica Brody, author of The Fidelity Files, has the sequel coming out in October called The Good Girls Guide To Bad Men; Anita Notaro has a new novel out in October 2010 called No Ordinary Love; Bridie Clark has a new novel out in December called The Overnight Socialite.
