Girl on the Net

My new book is (nearly) out! If you like you can pre-order it here. And if you’d like a signed copy there’s a link for that too. I know, exciting! I spent Friday in my publishers’ office signing things, and doing interviews, and being a bit overwhelmed about the whole thing.

I suck at publicity, because I get shy and go ‘oh I wouldn’t want to trouble you’, but this post is here to give a bit of info and to say that if you’re a journalist/writer/blogger and you’d like to talk about my book, or interview me or what have you, that would be amazing. Just get in touch.

For those of you who are just bloody lovely and want to buy it when it’s out, please do subscribe to my blog – I’ll send an email out on 10th March when the book launches officially. You can also win one of 10 signed copies if you subscribe – details, Ts and Cs below.

What’s the new book about?

Check out the blurb on Amazon, which my publisher wrote – they do this better than I do.

If you want more waffly detail from me, and you’ve read my first book, this should cover basics:

It’s partly a love story, partly a drunken rant about what we expect relationships to be like, and why most of our expectations are wrong. It covers a bunch of ridiculous notions I’ve had about sex and love, as well as some wise advice from my friends and family (who get names this time). It expands on some of the things from my first book and touches on some shit that I rarely talk about on the blog – mental health, work, anonymity and Terrifying Tales From My Email Inbox. There’s plenty of awesome stuff that I haven’t covered here either – romantic bits, dirty bits and a super fun game of paper/scissors/stone.

Some people from the first book appear again – notably First Boyfriend, number 8, my awesome mum + my dad. But you’ll hear different things from/stories about them this time, because I couldn’t possibly cram it all into book one and also because Things Have Happened since that was out, such is the nature of time. You’ll also find out what happened to number 26, and there will be quite a lot of sex in the hallway of my flat.

I really really really hope you like it.
