She’s nearly perfect
– He’s almost the one
When Patrick’s caught in flagrante with a local beauty queen, his father delivers an ultimatum: one more newspaper scandal and Patrick will be out on his ear. Desperate not to lose his job at the family veterinary practice,
Patrick needs to avoid trouble – and girls like Libby.
The Broken Ballerina’s a headline waiting to happen, but mourning her short-lived career as a dancer, Libby casts a Wiccan spell to summon a new love: Good-looking, honest, non-brown eyes, English, good with animals… in a nutshell, she summons Patrick.
But fighting Libby’s love spell will be the least of Patrick’s problems when an old lady dies from a ketamine overdose – ketamine stole from his surgery.
Witchcraft, Scandal, Murder...
Will anyone find their perfect Somebody?

Interview
Caroline is the author of #Forfeit and
Nearly Almost Somebody, contemporary romances she likes to call “Chick Lit with
Edge” – forget shoe-shopping and cupcakes, expect binge drinking, eating
disorders and Class A drug-taking.
#Forfeit is the sordid tale of five
friends who play a game of increasingly dangerous dares. Nearly Almost Somebody
is filled with Wiccan love spells, murder and local scandal. Where do you get
your inspiration from?
Anywhere I can. Music, films, the
Antiques Roadshow.
Really?
Totes. It’s where I saw the antique
forfeit ball that Daisy rolls in the book.
Tell us your usual writing routine.
I work full-time, we have a 6 year-old daughter
and we’re renovating an old farmhouse - writing routine, you say? Lol. There
isn’t one. When I’m in the zone, I’ll write whenever and wherever I can, but
when I’m not... life does get in the way.
Life? How much time do you spend
procrastinating on Facebook?
Yeah. That.
Do you have a favourite snack when you
are in your writing zone?
Does Prosecco with a sliced strawberry
in count as a snack?
What was the first book you remember
reading and enjoying?
Without a doubt, Jill’s Gymkhana by Ruby
Ferguson.
Did you have a favourite literary
hero/heroine as a child?
That would be the Jill with the
gymkhana. The girl was a superstar. Practical, witty, sharp, utterly dismissive
of all things soppy - including her own mother’s nauseating Enid Blyton style
books. She dreamed of becoming the first female MFH and so introduced me at the
tender age of nine to equality and sex discrimination. And she beats the rich
girl in the gymkhana. Hurrah.
What's the wine in that glass?
Er... Prosecco. Obvs.
Have you ever given up on a manuscript
because it just wasn't working?
No. A few times people told me to put
Forfeit in a drawer and move on, but I couldn’t. I loved Daisy and Xander too
much to give up on them and the story.
Do your sex scenes make you horny?
*Blushes* A wise friend once told me to
write books that I wanted to read because chances are someone else would want
to read them too. Another wise friend, Kitty French told me to write sex scenes
as though no one would ever read them. Put the two together...
Zoe’s a bit of a loose-moralled minx–
She’s great, right? I loved writing her
scenes.
Will we see more of her in your next
book?
You’re not the first person to ask that.
And?
No. Sorry.
What can your readers look forward to?
Afterglow should be out later this year.
It’s about backpackers getting up to no good in Bondi Beach.
You said, ‘should be.’ Does that mean
you’re not in the zone yet?
*Is watching cat videos on Facebook*
Sorry, what?
You went to a Book Signing earlier this
year. Are you planning any more?
Yes. Dublin and Birmingham this July,
then Aberdeen in August. Oh, and Dublin again in 2016.
Is there any of that Prosecco left?
Yes. But I’m not sharing. :p
Any advice for aspiring authors?
Drink less.
