RELEASE DAY! Charlie’s Hero

Today I have reason to celebrate – my first novel length story releases today! Yippee! *jumping for joy*

I am so excited to see Charlie’s Hero finally come to life, and to bring you the story of Charlie and Josh, two characters who hold a special place in my heart. And because it’s my first book being released in paperback, I’ve arranged a blog tour. I do hope you get a chance to follow the tour. There’ll be guest posts, character bios, exclusive excerpts, a couple of interviews and a giveaway of a $20 Amazon Gift Card.

Here’s a bit about the book.

Schoolteacher Charlie Matthews returns to his hometown, looking to regain a sense of community, reconnect with friends, and settle down. It looks like his dreams have come true when paramedic Josh Campbell attends an accident at the school. It’s love at first sight, and a romance begins.

But Josh’s reluctance to come out to the brother who raised him, puts pressure on their fledgling relationship. While Charlie understands Josh’s concerns, he can’t help growing impatient. After all, Charlie came out years ago.

It’s not until Charlie confronts his own parents and realizes he hasn’t come to terms with their rejection that he fully understands what Josh has to lose. But Josh is Charlie’s hero, and Josh will do anything to prove to Charlie that to be part of a family, he doesn’t need his parents.

I do hope you enjoy the story and the tour.

Happy reading,

Nic xx

    Hello!

    I am unsure how to follow your blog tour and was wondering if you can give me some guidance please?

    This is a well written post and I bet your book will be just as thrilling!

    Unfortunately I am unable to purchase your book due to financial difficulty.

    I have always wanted to create my own project and novel and considering this is your first was wondering if you could personally tutor me and join forces in creating one?

    I am a passionate and committed writer when i have an idea and would love to write my first novel with your help!

    After the first I can be even more inspired to continue my own trend should you be unable to help.

    Hope you can!

    Please get in contact with me to find a way we can talk about this privately!

    Peace

    Jason.

    Thank you for commenting on my post, Jason. Writing your first book can be a very daunting but exciting endeavour. I think you are doing the right thing in reaching out for guidance and support, particularly if you are unsure of the process and want to ensure your story is the best it can be. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to assist you but wish you all the best in finding someone and best of luck on your writing journey. Nic xx
