Thanks to Sue Fortin for pointing me in the right direction… I love this online Festival. There’s lots going on for authors and readers alike, and if you like romance of any shape or tradition–chick lit or otherwise–this is a GREAT place to check out. 🙂 For example: my page! http://festivalofromanceonline.ning.com/profile/NickyWells
Just another way I’m trying to get word out… Yay! 🙂

Hello! Just to alert you to another fantastic review for Sophie’s Turn, this one by Lou Graham. Lou concludes:
“This is a great book and very easy to read. … There are lots of very funny elements to this book and some great characters. …. Packed full of heated highs but also some very sad lows that might have you reaching for a tissue. (Loved the ending) Nicky has written a perfect ChickLit book that easily stands up against the others available today in the shops.

Check out Georgina Scott’s blog, Chick Lit Aholic, for a detailed and thoughtful review of Sophie’s Turn. Georgina hails from the UK originally and she says all the Britishisms made her nostalgic! She loved the ending and admits that at one point, she ‘literally had to be dragged away from the novel.’ You can find Georgina’s blog at http://chicklitaholic.blogspot.com/.
Thank you to Georgina for taking the time to read and review my debut novel.

Check out this fabulous review Sophie’s Turn gained from Shaz at Jera’s Jamboree. Shaz says it was “fab reading with an ending I didn’t see coming!” She really enjoyed the novel and says it made her laugh out loud quite often.

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
