Launching ... Behind the Scenes (Plus Giveaway)

Finally, after many, many months of hard work, I'm proud to launch my fourth novel, Behind the Scenes!


Behind the Scenes tells the story of aspiring actress, Catlin Ryan, who scores a starring role on her favourite television drama, Angel Street. Taking the role means moving to Melbourne ... and in with the father that she barely knows. A dark family secret is soon uncovered ... but can Australia's hottest new celebrity stop the media from finding out about her past?

Behind the Scenes is available at Amazon, Amazon Kindle Store, CreateSpace and Smashwords, with more retailers to follow very soon.

And because no launch is complete without some kind of awesome giveaway or another, throughout April, I'll be running a very awesome international giveaway where you can win:



Personally Signed copy of Behind the Scenes
Personally Signed Copies of Being Abigail and Best Forgotten (not pictured)
A beautiful journal
Gorgeous letter writing set
And we'll throw in a pen to go with the writing set & journal

Enter via the rafflecopter widget below:

PS. Behind the Scenes was partly inspired by a dream I had during my teenage years of being an actress, but, obviously, got pushed aside when I discovered that I preferred writing and drama classes. (That didn't stop me from going to one very embarrassing audition at SA Casting, but the less said about that, the better. We'll pretend a certain scene in the book is all artistic licence and was not at all based on my experience of telling a certain casting agent to get bent.)

Thank you Sheila! I'm glad that you like my book covers, esp Being Abigail. My goal was to design a cover that made people wonder a bit--who is that girl and what is she thinking--but I'm happy with whatever personal spin readers may put on it.

Peppermint Patty: I Cried and Cried and Cried

Image
Unrequited love is a common theme in the Peanuts Comics and is one that I have previously explored on this blog. We know that Lucy loves Schroeder, Sally loves Linus and Charlie Brown has a crush on the unseen, unnamed and utterly unattainable Little Redhaired Girl. But perhaps the saddest unrequited love stories from the comic is that which ran in late June 1972. It was the series of strips where the usually self-confident Peppermint Patty came face-to-face with the Little Redhaired Girl with the intention of thumping her and then something surprising happened: Here we have a usually self-confident girl, who is funny, unashamedly herself and talented at sports reduced to tears by the realisation of who she is not and never can be. I really feel for her in this series of comic strips. She knows that Charlie Brown can never love her, when he is so hung up over a girl who represents a supposedly ideal feminine beauty. Fortunately Linus, the most spiritual member of the Pean

Charlie Brown, Lucy Van Pelt and the Football

One of the longest, and arguably, most infuriating, running gags in Charles Schulz's otherwise brilliant Peanuts comic strip, is where Lucy promises to hold a football for Charlie Brown and then pulls it away at the last minute, causing Charlie Brown to fall flat on his back. A typical strip looks like this: Source: Go Comics The gag is one of the darker themes in the strip. It works on the concept that every year, Lucy promises to hold a football for Charlie Brown. Every year, Charlie Brown is initially filled with doubt but is eventually pushed on by a kind of optimism that perhaps, this time, Lucy might just let him kick it after all. As a metaphor for life, it is pretty simple. It talks of the moments when we choose to put our trust in people who have let us down only to be taken by surprise when they let us down, again. Lucy is, arguably, one of the crueller characters in the comic. Described as crabby by the other characters, she is often selfish, takes delight in wilfully hu

Phrases and Idioms: Tickets on Himself

To have tickets on himself: (Australian slang.) To be conceited or vain. To have an overinflated opinion of oneself.  He's got tickets on himself if he thinks that any woman would fall for that. I was thinking about this particular bit of Australian slang the other day, after my boss said, "He's got tickets on himself," to describe the actions of a particular individual. At the time, I smiled, knowing exactly what the boss meant. Later on, I started to ponder on this unusual phrase and wondered where it might have come from. A search on google helped me find the definition, but that was about all. There are no references to it being used in pop culture or literature (if you find one, let me know,) and at the time of writing this post, Tickets on Himself was not listed on Urban Dictionary. (I tried to add it, but the fuckers rejected my definition. They probably think I have tickets on myself or something for trying to add a relatively common piece of A
