Earlier this year I answered ‘Juliet’s Awkward Questions’ and so it’s an absolute pleasure to
have her as a guest of mine here. The
gorgeous blogger, Tweeter and author Juliet Madison who is celebrating the forthcoming release of her first novel FAST FORWARD – out in February 2013 –
shares with us today just a few of her gratefuls (and no, there was no
prompting by yours truly!).
Five things Juliet says ‘I’m grateful for’:
1. My family: I
wouldn’t be where I am today without their support, and my son’s wacky sense of
humour brightens my day.
2. The writing
community: I’ve made many new friends since I started writing, and I’m
amazed at how supportive authors are of each other, especially with aspiring
writers. I’ve learned a lot from other authors who generously give of their
time and expertise, and I hope I can do the same as the years go by. Pay it
forward, I say!
3. Where I live:
I’m grateful for being an Australian, having a roof over my head, and living in
a beautiful location surrounded by nature.
4. My publisher:
I’m very grateful for Escape Publishing, the digital imprint of Harlequin Australia who
offered me my first publishing contract. My debut novel, Fast Forward, will be out in February 2013. I loved writing this
book and am pleased to have the backing of a great company to help get this
story out to readers around the world – bring it on!
Here’s a little blurb about the
book: Aspiring
supermodel Kelli Crawford seems destined to marry her hotshot boyfriend, but on
her 25th birthday she wakes in the future as a fifty-year-old
suburban housewife married to the now middle-aged high school nerd.
Trapped in the opposite life of the one she wanted,
Kelli is forced to re-evaluate her life and discover what is really important
to her. Will she overcome the hilarious
and heartbreaking challenges presented to her and get back to the body of her
younger self? Or will she be stuck in the nightmare of hot flushes, demanding
children, raunchy advances from her husband, and hideous support underwear
forever?
5. Anita: I’m grateful to the wonderful Anita Heiss for inviting me
onto her blog to help spread some positivity. The world needs as much as it can
get. Thanks Anita!
And follow her on Twitter!
