What do writing and baking have in common?
As I walked the aisles of my local supermarket
early in November in search of the ingredients for a cake it all became
clear.
If you google what do writing and baking have
in common one of the results you get is a post by Derek Murphy on this
topic but from a marketing perspective.
Anyhoo, back in November I had two things I
needed to do. The first one, and arguably the most important, was that I had to
send a manuscript to my proofreader. The second one was something I do every
winter. I bake a Christmas cake.
I live in the UK so for those not familiar with
Christmas cake, you can find some information here. I don’t like Christmas cake, but someone in my family
does, and it’s a nice Christmas present.
So how does my Christmas cake relate to writing?
Well, on December 20 I’m releasing How to Catch a Prince, which is my first
book in the Chester Falls series.
The idea for this novel came to me over a year
ago. I wrote it earlier in the summer, and then in September I revisited my
prince and his commoner love interest, made a few changes and off it went to
the editor. Then in November it was proofread, ready to publish.
How to Catch a Prince was a little bit like
baking a cake in November that isn’t going to be eaten until Christmas (and by
the way, November is already late if you’re really a fan of well fed Christmas
cakes).
I love baking so it’s no wonder I made the
association between how long it takes to make a specific cake from supermarket
shelf to the table, and how long it takes to produce a book from initial
concept to release date.
If you’re more of a bake it and eat it kind of
girl like I am, then I can tell you that book two in the Chester Falls series
was written in a week last week, and is currently with the editor. Like it most
things in life, it’s nice to have some variety (although I’ll never have fruit
cake!).
Blurb:
When you’re faking a relationship, the last
thing you should do is fall in love...especially with a prince.

for his sister's wedding. What he needs is a date to keep him away from the
wandering hands of his ex.
Prince Kristof of Lydovia, or simply Kris, needs
an escape from the latest press scandal. Hiding away in an American small town
doesn't mean he can't pretend to not be royal, or be someone's boyfriend.
Especially when that someone keeps falling all over him, literally.
Intense chemistry
A family wedding
Too many secrets
When their fake relationship starts to feel very
real, and the press closes in, how will Kris and Charlie handle the fallout?
