Midweek Meltdown – Nine Inch Nails, With Teeth

September 24, 2014September 21, 2014by NatalieLeave a Comment

Artist: Nine Inch Nails

Track: With Teeth

Album: With Teeth

Interesting fact about me: when I was a teen, I was a bit of a wannabe goth. If you’ve read Together Apart, you might have guessed. Corporation – that’s a real place, City Hall was where I used to hang out. And I used to listen to stuff like this all the time. This particular song reminds me of being in France last week, gearing up for an interesting night out. Sounds great with the volume up too!

If you’ve got any music recommendations, please send them my way! You can also check out my previous weeks’ tracks by going to the Midweek Meltdown tab above, follow the playlist on YouTube or follow me on Spotify

Enjoy!

I don’t write ‘crap books’, thank you very much…

Last week, my book cover was wrongly featured in a blog post on The Spectator website, along with covers of authors I know and love. The article wasn’t even about our supposed genre, so I can only assume our covers were used as ‘click-bait’. We were accused, by implication, of writing ‘crap books’. So, I feel I have a right to reply…

The header image used in The Spectator blog article, Let me introduce you to ‘sick chick lit’ has now been changed to a stock image. But this is the image originally posted (thank goodness for Google’s image caching):

(Books featured above: Take a Look at Me Now by Miranda Dickinson; Yours Truly by Kirsty Greenwood; Christmas at Carrington’s by Alexandra Brown; Wish Upon a Star by Trisha Ashley; Just for Christmas by Scarlett Bailey; Beyond Grace’s Rainbow by Carmel Harrington; Bridget Jones – Mad About the Boy by Helen Fielding…

When dreams start to come true

September 22, 2014October 17, 2015by Natalie2 Comments

Something amazing happened last week, something that I never even really dared to dream about. Together Apart broke into the top 100 on Amazon.co.uk.

At the time of writing, it’s sitting at number 43 and number 1 in New Adult and Romantic Suspense. I’ve reverted to checking it on an almost hourly basis. It’s beyond fantastic, but I’d be lying if I said I was pooping my pants at the same time. I honestly never expected it to do so well, especially when the first few months were pretty much barren as far as sales were concerned. So now, the pressure is on for book two.

I have to keep the momentum going and I reckon I’m about 65% of the way there. But, now that I’ll be heading to Goa again, I’ve got to get it published – quick. Man, I like to put myself under pressure, don’t I?

Massive thanks to everyone who’s supported me so far, it means a LOT.
