Breaking News...

Finally, FINALLY, we've made it. Yes, the day I've been banging on about since January 2022 has arrived. No longer under my weekly Writing News heading will you read, 'We're nearly there,' or, 'Just a few more read-throughs and then we're finished.' No more of any of that. The day is here. We have BUSINESS to deal with. Business that comes via the answers to three pressing questions.

1. What's the title of your new book, Nicky?
Why, thank you for asking! It's called LEEZA MCAULIFFE HAS LOADS MORE TO SAY and is a sequel to Leeza McAuliffe Has Something To Say, from 2019. You don't need to have read the first one - it can stand alone narratively. You'll just know the characters a little better if you have.

2. What does the cover look like, Nicky?
So kind of you to ask! It looks like this... 

The front cover of Leeza McAuliffe Has Loads More To Say. It's a mid-blue background, with a picture of Leeza on the front, looking quizzical and with a speech bubble coming from her mouth. Leeza is wearing a red and white checked shirt that's open with a yellow tee shirt underneath. It says, the name of the title. The book is by Nicky Bond and the author name is in white at the bottom.

Isn't it a beauty! Fair play to Gary. He's boxed me off once again. I love how Leeza has aged ever so slightly since Book One. Plus, I never say what I want her to wear and yet it's always spot on. I love it.

3. But tell me, Nicky, I beg of you, when will it be published?
All this attention is too much, really! It'll be published on Thursday 23rd May 2024. But... and here's the most marvellous thing of all... YOU CAN PRE-ORDER IT HERE! Yes, get your orders banged in. It's the perfect present for the young person in your life. They may have recently started high school, and are dealing with angst, feelings and LIFE. It's also the perfect present for anyone who remembers starting high school and is STILL dealing with angst and feelings and life. If, as an adult, you enjoy rewatching - for example -Dawson's Creek (amiright!) this might be up your street. Set slightly younger than the Capeside gang, it's still emotionally literate youngsters navigating life. I think that's my favourite genre, and the one I love to write. 

That's the Q&A over for now. Thank you for coming. In summary, pre-order the paperback on Amazon here, or Waterstones here. Alternatively, you can preorder the ebook here. Do it now, then come back for the rest of this post. Don't plan to do it later, you'll get sidetracked. Do it this minute, then it's sorted. Right then, off you pop. I'll be waiting.

Four books, standing on a wooden bookshelf. All four spines can be seen, but only the front cover of the book at the front of the row, is visible. That front cover is the new book, Leeza McAuliffe Has Loads More To Say by Nicky Bond. The other books are Leeza McAUliffe Has Loads More To Say, then Assembling the Wingpeople, and then Carry the Beautiful at the back. All books are by Nicky Bond and the name can be seen on the spines.

You back? Great. Now spread the word! Tell everyone you know. Go through your contacts and send a blanket email. Or maybe share the link in all your WhatsApp convos? Every little, literally, helps. Thank you, in advance, for all your excellent marketing efforts.

OK, let's wind this up. Enjoy your day, safe in the knowledge you've made me very happy by reading this. Two years, guys. It's a long time to have a story in your head. Finally, FINALLY it's being let out.

Have a lovely week, folks.
