DAISY DOOLEY DOES DIVORCE by Anna Pasternak
Women everywhere will cheer for Daisy Dooley!
Daisy Dooley Does Divorce by Anna Pasternak is a humourous and heartfelt romp through 39 year old Brit, Daisy Dooley's divorce and her consequent quest to understand men, relationships, and most importantly herself and the decisions she makes. It's a Bridget Jones's Diary for divorcees and an easy, charming and highly enjoyable read. It's sometimes very silly but also often poignant and Daisy's penchant for spiritual/self-help books makes her a kindred spirit. You will love this heartwarming, easy-to-read-in-a-few-sittings book even if you’re not divorced or have never been married. Anyone who has been disappointed at some point in her life by love, particularly by a man who she was in love with, will find so much in common with delightful Daisy. She’s full of spirit, sass and sensitivity and if she were a real person I would want to be her friend.
A funny inspiring tale for anyone who has braved the courageous and sometimes disastrous journey towards true love. Meet Daisy Dooley:
“The only thing sadder than being thirty-nine and still single is being thirty-nine and freshly divorced. And unemployed. And living with your mother. (And her dogs.)”
In the tradition of Sex and the City and Bridget Jones's Diary, Anna Pasternak's popular column in the London Daily Mail, "Daisy Dooley Does Divorce", has evolved into this witty novel full of hope, humor, wine...and dachshunds.
We have created a Fan Page and a Group (Fans of Daisy Dooley Does Divorce) on Facebook, each one with slightly different content, celebrating the novel and would invite you to read about it and its lovely author there and add yourself as a fan. All you have to do is type Daisy Dooley in the Search box on the top left hand corner of your Facebook profile. Daisy also has a page on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/daisydooley
All the best,
Christine

Name Character in New Novel
Beginning November 1st, people from all over the globe will begin with what may be for some, the most paralyzing spectacle facing a writer: a blank page. Whether it is a word processor, typewriter, notebook paper, or a stack of empty cocktail napkins, the sheer pressure of writing a novel settles in after midnight on Nov 1st and will not let up until Nov 30th. This defines the challenge placed by the NaNoWriMo website: Write 50,000 words in thirty days.
This is the first year Glenn Sasscer heard of the challenge. “I found the website through HARO (Help A Reporter Out) and reviewed the challenge in passing. I tried to dismiss it, but something stuck with me and I started wondering if I had it in me.”
Writing is not a new adventure for Sasscer. His first novel, Suffering Madness, was released in May of 2008. He laughs, “… but it took me over ten years to write that one!” He also has articles published in magazines, newspapers, trade papers, curriculum, web blogs, and worked as a freelance reporter.
Sasscer is giving a chance for his friends, supporters, or interested followers to participate in the fun of the NaNoWriMo challenge without having to write a novel. By submit character names and information when he comes across such opportunities when writing, others can contribute without the work of writing. Any suggests used in the novel will be acknowledged in the forward to the novel.
“The NaNoWriMo rules state only one writer can work on the project,” Sasscer explains. “But they leave the rules wide open when it comes to names, places, what kind of car the character drives, and other information. This would be the same thing as walking into my living room and asking my wife for a character name; I’m just opening the window and asking anybody within earshot the same thing on the Internet.”
