A heady brew of incompetent exes, good friends, and alcoholic artists manage to disrupt the course of true love.

Sue Welfare's first novel of modern manners, now available in A format and in highly successful series style There are two ways to make sex pay. One is illegal and the other can land you in a whole lot of trouble. When writer Dora Hall's erotic novels become successful, her agent decides to cash in with a promotional tour. Unfortunately Dora's career is her best-kept secret, and so she is delighted when he hires a glamorous stand-in. Predatory blonde Lillian Bliss fulfils everyone's criteria; she's a walking sexual adventure, lapping up media attention and making it all look wonderfully simple - until she starts to deviate from Dora's carefully written script. Chaos descends upon the small Norfolk town, local celebrities and politicians scrabble frantically to hide their seedy pasts and Dora's cover is completely blown. What began with a few little lies turns into a spectacular slice of mayhem in this wickedly witty and warm debut from a tremendously talented writer.

A warm and witty contemporary novel from the author of MOVING ON UP Mim Pilgrim is so fed up with her husband that she's driven to exploring the full length of her window-cleaner's tattoo. Fisher (once known as Frank) Pilgrim doesn't notice; he's a TV shrink on the verge of his big break, and although he's officially an expert on family matters he also hasn't noticed that his daughter has something more than a teenage crush on her drama teacher and his adolescent son is suffering an overwhelming dose of hormonal disruption. But a promotable family background is good for Fisher's image, and so when Mim becomes acquainted with an eminent literary figure, he and his producer decide to make the most of it. It's a catalyst for chaos, and before long everyone is entangled in a situation way beyond the reaches of pop psychology - but which might benefit from Mim's straight talking...

Guilty Creatures

From the author of GUILTY CREATURES comes a novel of family life turned upside down
Kate’s got her life sorted out, with her own business, run from her trendy townhouse in London, where she’s lucky enough to have best friends in the same street, a workable marriage, two kids, the occasional visit home to her roots. But all this is changed by a phone call one night: her widowed mother has fallen over and is in hospital.
Things aren’t as they seem. Far from being a fragile old lady in desperate need, it transpires that Kate’s mother has tripped down the stairs after too many lunchtime cocktails and is being only too well looked after by her gorgeous toyboy lodger. Miffed, Kate returns to London – to discover that her best friend has been sleeping with her husband. Where does that leave her?
A novel of trust betrayed and lives rebuilt, internet dating and the strange comfort of returning home after life in the fast lane, this will win Sue Welfare even more dedicated fans.

But what will that do to Sarah's fresh start, her new man, ex-husband and the rest of her life? Is it a recipe for disaster or does it have all the ingredients of a great romance?
