'The Morning After Service'
Ever wished for magic fairies to provide childcare and the perfect cooked breakfast for the morning after the night before? Ever yearned for the kind of care you lost when you moved away from your mother's home? Thanks to getting the boot from her city-job newly single Kay has teamed up with her best friend Anna to unleash their potential as Irish Mammys with Attitude.
They are The Morning After Service. They'll cook you a healthy breakfast, concoct an infallible hangover cure and ease you into the day with a head massage. They'll even do the laundry and washing-up.
Now all they need to do is survive the golf-club vendetta, avoid bankruptcy, control twin toddlers, convince Anna's husband Pete he doesn't want a divorce and find the key to their handsome client's heart. It is such a pity that organising other people's lives is so much harder than managing your own love-life.
Grace has completed this chick-lit novel and is seeking publication.
'The Beachwalkers'
Gina Plunkett needs to escape and Curlew Cottage is perfect - until she crosses the coastal warden and the estate manager. But is defending her new home and the beach community worth blowing her cover and risking her heart too?
Grace is currently writing this novel, the first in her coastal chick-lit series. Other titles in the planning stage are 'The LightHouse Keepers' (culture clashes in trendy holiday spot), 'Harbour Mistress', 'Custom's Crew', 'Lifeboat Men', and 'The Lock Keeper'. Having lived her entire life within reach of the sea-mists Grace wants to bring the coast of Ireland back into the hearts of its readers.
'A Year on the Loo'
Jess, a hyper-organized, bathroom-obsessed, garden designer with a
dead-end job, is pregnant. Matt, her recently acquired wood-sculpting boyfriend, is
the Dad. He just doesn't know it yet. Their world will be turned upside down this year,
but they might make it through if they can manage to speak the same language.
Perhaps Jess' diary could help?
This dual view-pointed chick-lit novel of relationship miscommunication is
currently paused.
Wise Words from Neil Gaiman about Novels
"I'm moving more and more into "go away, I'm in the
middle of my novel" mode. This is the kind of dangerous mindset in which you put
babies in baths then wander off for an hour, or you get messages from friends letting you
know that they're prisoners of kidnappers in foreign nations and you are their only hope
to alert the proper authorities, and you really do mean to mention it to someone, but
somehow or other it wanders right out of your head."
