They’ve posted a blurb for my next Little Black Dress on the Headline website:
One Night Stand
The fabulous new title from the author of Spirit Willing, Flesh Weak.
Estelle Connor may have written seventeen steamy novels, but her own life is more mundane. In fact the nearest she comes to sex is having to listen through the thin walls of her house as her friend and neighbour, Hugh, makes love to an ever-changing stream of female conquests. But then one night she makes a one-night-only conquest of her own, only to wake up alone, a bit repentant, and as she later realises, very pregnant. Desperate to find her missing lover, if only to tell him he`s going to be a father, she enlists the help of Hugh to help her search – but begins to realise that the perfect partner could have been right under her nose all this time…
You will notice from my sidebar that I am, tonight, 52.9% through writing this particular book. I was relieved to see that the story is still the same as the back cover blurb, though I’ve changed the heroine’s name to Eleanor.
It’s out in hardcover in August and in paperback in November.
I guess I should get to writing.
Jennifer McKenzie says:
Wonderful blurb, Julie. Congratulations. *sending good writing thoughts your way*
Michelle says:
Oooh, sounds great! Can’t wait to read it.
Love the baby picture from earlier, too!
Ray-Anne says:
That is a wonderful story line Julie!
Can I be the first to congratulate you on your nomination in the Cataromance Reviewers Choice award for Married in the Rush? I would be so thrilled!
All the best Ray-Anne
Phillipa says:
Hi Julie. LOL. Well, I had only written 15k of my new LBD, Wish You Were Here, when the blurb went on Amazon! It sure concentrated my mind.
Enjoy writing ONS, I know it will be brilliant.
BTW It was me who posted about Nate eyeing up a girl baby in Sainsbury’s but for some reason, I came up as ‘anonymous’. Hope he has enjoyed your new HMB.
Jessica Raymond says:
The blurb sounds great, Julie. When I used to babysit for my cousin’s little girl the couple next-door did much the same thing…

Jules - I’ve tagged you on my blog. And you can blame Kris entirely.

Sounds great Julie!
Julie says:
Julie, it sounds absolutely fabulous!
Anna Lucia says:
Ooooh, cool, Julie!
*wiggle*
Julie says:
Thanks Jennifer, Michelle, Ray-Anne, Phillipa, Jess, Karen, Julie, and Anna.
Thank you for the heads-up about Cataromance, Ray-Anne!
It’s reassuring that you managed to get WYWH done in time Phillipa. Your cover is lovely!
