Thank you to Sue from lovereadinglovebooks.wordpress.com for taking the time to read and review my debut novel.  Sue says, “The outcome, well what a great ending – not what I expected but totally satisfying. All in all a fab story told in a refreshing way.”  Check out the full review at Sue’s blog at http://lovereadinglovebooks.wordpress.com, or at www.amazon.co.uk, or at www.goodreads.com.  Woohoo!  🙂

Link to Free Kindle Reading Apps

Posted on July 27, 2011 | Leave a comment

I don’t want to advertise Kindle here, nor am I in any way paid to promote the Kindle product.  However, in promoting my debut novel, I have run into the question of “how can I download Sophie’s Turn if I don’t have a Kindle” so many times that I thought it would be appropriate to post a link on my blog.

At this time, Amazon is offering a link for downloading FREE Kindle Reading Apps so that practically anyone can participate in the Kindle e-book phenomenon.  I have tried this out myself and the Reading Apps really are very easy to download.  They are available for iPhone, iPad, Windows PC and Macs and give access to the whole Kindle store as well as, obviously, to Sophie’s Turn!  I’ve posted the link under the ‘links’ section to the right of the blog.

Hope this helps!  🙂

Another five star review from an amazon.co.uk customer

Posted on July 22, 2011 | Leave a comment

Sophie’s Turn just received a second customer review on amazon.co.uk–five stars **again**!  Here’s the blurb:

Chick lit isn’t my thing but I must admit to enjoying this a lot. It’s very well
written and within a few pages the characters had come to life. The flashbacks
worked really well and before I knew it I was drawn in…. Everyone needs a
little escapism in current times and this fits the bill. I can relate to
Sophie’s quandary – we’ve all dated the odd bad boy in the past! It’s the first
kindle book I’ve purchased but have quite liked dipping into it when I’ve had a
few minutes to spare. It was straightforward to install the free app on my
android phone. I look forward to this author’s next book. Could Sophie
Penhalligan be the next Bridget Jones?!?

First review… and word gets out!

Posted on July 18, 2011 | Leave a comment

Sophie’s Turn had its first customer review on Amazon.com.  Five stars, no less!  This is what it says:

This is the perfect story to take with you for a weekend at the beach. Written
in an easy, comfortable tone, you’ll soon find yourself carried away into
Sophie’s world and unable to put the book down until you find out what happens next. I couldn’t help but become envious of the main character, Sophie, as she finds herself engaged to two different yet wonderful men. I was right there with her thinking what would I do if this happened to me. Who would I choose? Why? What do any of us really want out of “happily ever after”? Nicky Wells has done a superb job creating this window into Sophie’s life (journalist, girlfriend, rock music groupie, honest, passionate, average girl-next-door). No detail is left missing. And the pacing is spot on – definitely a page turner from half-way through to the end. Plus, as an American, I extra-specially liked the
British-isms and somewhat different take on life than we usually read here in
the states. This is simply a fun, quick read that I think anyone would enjoy.

Also, a friend put Sophie’s Turn on the goodread website.  Check it out at:  http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12060840-sophie-s-turn
