Back on the Facebook

Hello Readers,

I have got back onto the Facebook.

Mainly to promote my books to be honest. HOWEVER, I hope to post the odd interesting thing to make it a bit more interesting.

I do have a long history of love-hate with the platform (with all the platforms to be honest.) I don't mind the ads (well, of course I don't or I'd be a hyprocrite) but its all the random stuff, isn't it, that is so annoying.

Stuff you don't want to see, and can't be bothered with.

And all the fake stuff.

Like the other day I saw a post which said there is a Golden Girls reboot with Tina Fey, Lisa Kudrow and others.

Really, I thought. Why would you? The entertainment industry has done strange things... but really? So, as I do these days, I figured it was fake, and did not even bother to read more.

Sure enough when I mentioned it to someone, they checked and it was FAKE.

Even if it wasn't fake, you can not do better than Rose, Bea, Sophia and Blanche. YOU CAN NOT.

But I am not fake, so pop along to my Facebook

@joannehillauthor and I will see you there!

Two new books coming soon

It's been a while since I posted but I've been busy. I've been working on two new books. Shock! One is the next book in the Dating Daisy series, and also the next book in the Clearlake County series. Two new books!! I can hardly believe it myself, and I am enjoying them both. I'll reveal the cover for the new Daisy book soon!! In the meantime, well and truly into winter here in New Zealand. Even now, I'm got super warm socks on, and a scarf. If the nights are freezing, its out with the hot water bottle. And how good is a hot drink on a cold day? Life's simple pleasures.

Dating Daisy

FREE BOOK ALERT Yep, this weekend and until Monday, I am running a free book promotion for Dating Daisy . Meet Joel and Daisy in this second chance, professor hero, third time's the charm, romantic comedy. So, what's it about? Daisy's a bookseller who goes on a TV dating show to drum up business for her ailing store. Not to win or anything like that, heaven forbid! Just to get her store's name mentioned on national TV a few times, since her beloved book shop is only weeks away from going under and she is desperate to do anything to stop that happening. Joel is a history professor who owes his best mate, the show's host, Rob, one massive favour, and Rob is calling that favour in: Be a contestant on the inaugural celebrity episode of Mystery Date . Except Joel Benjamin is no celebrity, and he sure isn't looking for love, not to mention his career is on the up, and going on a show like Mystery Date is simply, well, simply frowned upon . It could do his career mor...

Excerpt for Captivating Kelly

Finally, we settled on a title. There was Kissing Kelly because the three books prior are Dating Daisy, Promising Penny and Marrying Michelle , but I'm not a fan of 'kissing' in the titles all that much. Captivating really seemed to suit so it might not be KK, and is CK instead but there it is. Captivating Kelly . Read on for a sneak peak at the prologue. PROLOGUE (draft) KELLY BROWN SUCKED in a deep breath as she walked down the corridor towards the staff café, nerves attacking her with each step, and along with them, regret. The nerves because she didn’t know what awaited her. It would be small. That she knew. She’d asked for small. A cake would be nice, but that would be enough. She tended to avoid her own hype. The regret because all this might have been avoided. Might have been something she could have nipped in the bud, although she couldn’t even be sure of that. But whatever it was, it was, plainly and simply, sad. She felt sad. It took an effort at times not to lo...
