reviews and contest

Filed under: All Work and No Play, contests, reviews, six-word novel

I’ve had the first reviews back on my June Modern Extra release, All Work and No Play…

And here’s what people have had to say.

Whoah!! This is one seriously HOT book!…the most sizzling Modern Extra that I have read to date. But with Jay/Jonny as the hero how could it not be..? (5 roses)
Romance Reviewed

Julie Cohen pens a delectably sexy story about overcoming inner demons and finding out what matters most in life. Jane’s insecurities immediately endear her to you, and Jonny’s caring and obvious love for her will melt your heart. The sparks practically fly off the page when the two characters cross paths for the first time, and the heat never lessens for the rest of the book. ALL WORK AND NO PLAY will liven up anyone’s dull day.

This is my last Modern Extra for this year so I’m glad it’s getting good reviews so far.

And in celebration, I’ll run a contest, for a copy of All Work and No Play…:

Write a six-word novel: an entire story in exactly six words. It can be any kind of story you like. My example is below but here’s one by Ernest Hemingway:

For sale: baby shoes, never worn.

Post your entry in the comments to this post (or email it to me, and I’ll post it).

(PS Don’t forget to buy The Sun on Saturday to get my book FREE! You know you want to!!!)
