But she is having a contest for the LOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGG awaited release of Magdalene here.
So this is a double up, an entry into her competition, (cos quite frankly I'm quite desperate to read Magdalene! Did I mention I've been waiting FOREVER) and a chance to push her books somewhere else apart from twitter. Cos this is a self-pubber who writes awesomesauce books, so go READ HER BOOKS!
This is the cover:
Ain't it purty??
Blurb/excerpt thingy:
"I didn’t go into prostitution because I was desperate; I did it because I was bored: Bored with my hausfrau existence, bored with my husband both in bed and out, bored with my ingrate daughters who don’t (yet) understand what it means to be the sacrificial lamb in the nuclear family setup and that being a wife and mother can be its own category of prostitution. They will. And I’ll laugh.
I was never the stereotypical whore with a heart of gold, which seems to be used as point and counterpoint: If you’re pure in heart, being a whore is tolerable, forgivable even; if you’re just a mercenary bitch who likes sex and, moreover, getting paid for it, it’s the unforgivable sin. Ultimately, however, I had to choose my clients on their ability to pay my exorbitant prices and leave the good sex to my carefully selected lovers.
I didn’t quit prostitution for some sort of wish fulfillment of born-again virginity; I quit because I was bored. Fucking for money involves a certain amount of acting ability and while I’m a very good actress (thus, a very good whore), it takes some amount of concentration that is not usually conducive to having a real orgasm.
With a healthy bank account, one ex-husband whose current partner sports genitalia similar to his, four grown daughters, my forty-third birthday on the horizon, and with professional ennui setting in, I had to find something else to do."
