In the interests of equality, a quick blog today to say a huge thank you to a very mysterious reviewer, who has kindly reviewed both my books on Amazon US and UK and said very nice things. A. Barker, whoever you are, you are a truly brilliant human being and I wish a huge Euromillions lottery win to befall you immediately!
I must say after writing 'Marrying' I am a little over weddings. That won't stop me watching Wills and Kate get hitched, of course. Nothing better than a completely valid reason to drink 48 wines in front of the telly in the middle of the day, is there? Unless you have a stack of delicious macaroons to go with them. Mental note - must make trip to Laduree in Burlington Arcade prior to end of month.
Well, it's a Friday, which means I am about 4000 words short of my weekly writing target again. Time to go and do work of some sort - although, wait, it's 10:30 a.m. A frap from Starbucks would be perfect just about now!

Phew - now on to the next one - but first . . .
I must apologise for being totally and utterly slack about my blog. What with interviews etc for 'Marrying Out of Money' I just haven't had the time. Plus, my fellow Prospera stable mate Naina Gupta has a new blog out and is already putting me to shame. http://naina-g.blogspot.com/ Not to mention Talli Roland, who blogs everyday religiously and with a finesse I could never hope to achieve unless extreme makeovers knocks at my door. http://talliroland.blogspot.com/
Hmm.
Right, well, the truth then?
I have been drowning my sorrows with a bad drop of Tongan plonk because the trolls have been at my books again.
Troll. Def: Evil loser who spends inordinate amount of time on line, posting 1-star reviews on Amazon and drooling at used Sci-fi t-shirts on eBay.
I wouldn't mind so much if some of them had actually appeared to bother reading the books. The latest person insists the book is an 'embarressment' (sic) and another says she read only two chapters but that the book had no plot.
Right, okay then, more wine.
So, how has this affected me?
Well, to be honest, it just made me more determined to displease the trolls further. Expect The Anti-model Agency to make no concessions to these dour reviewers with no sense of humour. I am really going to give them something to complain about. Okay, there will be a brilliant plot but I promise loads of cringing, embarrassing situations for my (two!) fans.
Seriously though, a huge thank you to the thousands who have bought my books over the past few months. I love you all. Really. Well, I would if I could. I am a bit like that!
Cheers,
Nicky.

Marrying is almost here!
I must apologise for my dismal attempts at blogging. For some reason working and writing (okay, and consuming large quantities of pastries) is taking up all of my time.
Anyway, in about a week, Marrying Out of Money will be released on Kindle, and in bookstores in March or April.
Prospera Publishing is about to send the book out for review. If you are happy to upload your thoughts to Amazon then send an email to editor@prospera.co.uk and they will send you a pdf version of the book to review in the next week or so. They tell me that previous requests for book reviews will be honoured, so if you have already sent your details to Sam at Prospera, she will flick you an email to see if you want to review the book.
Given I am now totally traumatised by people who think I have ripped off Sophie Kinsella, hopefully Marrying will show me in a diffent light. Okay, the same light but without letters at the front of each chapter! (For the record, I hadn't read Shopaholic until my book was published. Who would have thought two authors would think of the same letter-writing device!)
By the way, check out this review on the Amazon US site!

One word.
Gosh.

Weddings and Thank Yous!
