Perfect for You is now live on Amazon, and it's currently FREE!
Hi everyone,
Several years ago, in the first month or two of 2020, my bestie Lili Grouse and I embarked on an endeavour to co-write novellas, particularly ones centred around reality TV shows. As we delved into the process, we found that our approach didn't align with our individual writing styles.
Although we each penned a novella with input from the other, our collaboration began to resemble individual roles: one of us as a developmental editor (in my case) and the other as a line editor (in Lili's case). It felt strange attempting to rewrite each other's pieces. This led us to the realisation that we weren't genuinely co-writing.
Consequently, we set our joint venture aside. Later, we opted to publish our novellas individually, but as companion pieces. Lili's story, titled Baristas, centres around a reality TV show set in a coffee shop. True to Lili's style, it brims with romance, fabulous dialogue, and her signature comedic touch. For those interested in diving into this world, I've provided a link for easy access.
After Lili released Baristas, I found myself reflecting on my own novella, Perfect for You. Initially, I published it exclusively for my Paid Subscribers, not planning a wider release. However, upon completion, I felt ready to share it more broadly, especially with Lili’s support.
With this in mind, I'm thrilled to announce that Perfect for You is now available on Amazon! It will be free for the next day or two, ensuring all my readers have the opportunity to enjoy it at no cost. If you’re in search of a quick read (under two hours) for the holidays (though it's not holiday-themed), I encourage you to grab your free copy while the offer lasts.
All my love,
Perfect for You: A Reality TV Novella
Cara Cooke and Brendan Baker's debut on the reality TV show The Perfect Swap was nothing short of a disaster. Despite their sky-high compatibility scores, they frequently clashed due to their differing approaches to handling situations. But fate has a funny way of bringing people together. Now, they find themselves as partners on Challenge Island, an established reality TV adventure that's new territory for both of them. The stakes are high: they must set aside old grudges, conquer lingering doubts, and race to secure the grand prize. Can Cara and Brendan overcome their tumultuous history and prove they're a winning team, or will their past prove to be their downfall?
