Hello everyone,
The paperback ‘Thirty More Chic Days’ is now available,
hoorah. You can order it here on Amazon.
I am so happy to hear from those of you who are already
reading the Kindle version that you are enjoying it – it’s hard to know if it’s
any good when you are the one writing it!
Whenever I start wondering how it’s going to be received I turn it back
around to myself and say ‘just keep on making it as good as you can and write
it for yourself’. Then at least one
person is happy :) So that’s what I did,
just kept on going, writing what I wanted to read, and refining it as much as possible
in the final edits.
My biggest author tip is just that: write what you want to
read, whether it’s a book or a blog post.
If you wish a book existed about *that*, write it. I wished there were books about living a
rose-scented, pink-tinted Parisian-style life exactly where I lived and without
spending much money… so I wrote them. It
really is that simple!
Happy days everyone, I hope you enjoy the paperback! You can find it here: https://amzn.to/2NmXuWg

Congratulations, although hardcover is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAs for Parisian lifestyle, I used to lust for it, but now I prefer a less-stressful but still classy French life in a smaller city.
I know, it would be nice, but unfortunately hard cover is not an available option for my book at this time.
DeleteFor me, I love the thought, energy and inspiration of a big city, but I love, love, love living in the country. And I get to visit big cities if I want to. It's the best of both worlds!
Just ordered it! I'm sure it will be a joy to read like all your books.
ReplyDeleteYay, Nancy, I hope you love it lots!
DeleteI ordered this last night, Fiona and it will be with me by 8 pm tomorrow (Thursday) evening! Yippee!!!!

Thank you Margaret, hope your English Girl enjoys it!!
DeleteThe book arrived yesterday, Fiona, and I'm really enjoying it, whether or not I wish to emulate a French girl or not! (Not, in my case, but a true Englishwoman, but again not one in wellies with a weather-beaten complexion, perish the thought right away!) I can see the appeal of a French miss, though - I did my best to appear not-English when I was in my teens, after a holiday in Germany and thought the 'continentals' so much more 'chic' than we English (I don't know the equivalent German word for 'chic' ... perhaps there isn't one! I even wore wooden mules which I bought in Germany, and clothes which weren't the frilly English kind ... in my head I was Juliet Prowse, as seen in the film GI Blues). I think we all have an inner other-person, don't we?

We totally do, Margaret! That's what makes life fun, for me anyway. Seeing a character in a movie inspires me to make little changes and I feel good about it.
DeleteAnd, as you read on in the new book, you will see that the French girl is my thing, but I encourage you to find your own if you don't identify with her so much :)
