Work-shy scrougers the lot of them. – Valerie Anthrope from Oh no,
I’ve Fallen in Love!

Her senses were acute to sound, and her brain
nagged her to flee, but she remained motionless. The old, old trick: play dead.
Imagine being an astronaut.
Now imagine applying for a mission where you became one of the first humans to travel outside the solar system.
The training couldn’t prepare you for what was about to happen–the unimaginable.
Jenny Daykin, her co-travellers presumed dead, became shipwrecked on Eden.
She wasn’t alone.
Jenny Daykin, ordinary woman with an extraordinary dilemma: kill or be killed. Surrender or invade. Hunt or Hunted. Love or hate.

Jenny chose love. An emotion only felt by higher species such as you or I.
But do so-called ‘higher species’ need to have the thought-process of hope love? Or are such emotions mere survival instincts? Or, even, a disabling thought-process?
An error of human-kind?
Somehow, Jenny found herself wondering just that as she was forced to quell her emotions in order to survive.

My house was unwelcoming. Its furnishings
tortured me in their familiarity. How could everything be the same, when inside
I was dying? I walked through the rooms. I no longer liked the home that I’d
grown up in. It was too full of memories; of my mum’s endless crying and of my
dad’s tortured eyes. In every room, I could still hear the echo of her sobbing,
and see the ghost-like image of my dad as he stood nervously on the side-lines.Suddenly, I could see myself as an eight-year-old
little girl. I was sitting on the stairs, watching the ambulance from the
opened doorway as the paramedics took Sean’s small body away. Mum and Dad had
followed them, their heads lowered and shoulders slumped, and every now and
then Mum’s body jerked with a tearful spasm. My nan was crying into a large
handkerchief and every time I asked what was happening and when Sean would be
better, she’d only wailed louder. The house represented everything I was hiding
from. There were no happy memories here. Only mourning.

The book is British and set in London, so for any non Britons reading be prepared for a lot Brit lingo that’ll confuse the stuffing out of you. The main character, Charlie Wallis, also has ginger hair, and if that isn’t enough to put you off she’s too needy, too trusting and an utter doormat to her loser of a boyfriend, Andy.
The genre is romantic comedy but love scenes don’t come easy to me so I took the easy way out and wrote bad sex scenes–I’ve had lots of experience (did I just say that out loud?). Anyhoo, here’s short ‘sexy’ excerpt:
A Proper Charlie is real life, real funny and real pink. If you’re a guy you’ll hate it: no guns (heck, this is a British novel!), no babes (heck, this is a British novel!), and no fast cars (heck this is a …). If you’re a girl you’ll hate it too: no hearts and flowers, no sexy guys (unless you find geeky men attractive) and no shiny, sparkly shoes (I don’t think Charlie has any!).
So over to you guys. Write something about your book using one of the below styles (or your own idea):
1. 200 to 700 word article (approx) on why people shouldn’t buy {name of book}.
2. 200 to 700 word article (approx) on why people should avoid all your book(s).
3. 200 to 700 word article (approx) on why people should avoid you completely (as a person and/or as an author).
Article (or bullet points) can be funny, argumentative, evil, an utter piss-take, your call.
Send in your author media (links, bio and pic) and book details (purchase links, blurb, extract etc).
Please send all ASAP so I can arrange everyone with dates using the ‘contact’ button top left of screen. All articles will appear here and tweeted out via Triberr. Intros to your article will be posted to WWBB’s Facebook page. All book covers will be posted on Pinterest in the Book Junkies library.
Come on, be brave…
