As Easy As That

[maryos6]

Women's Fiction with an edge !

A page turner

Kate Lucas is happy. She's married to businessman Fred and works as PA to the leading trial lawyer in the country. A member of the smart set, Kate believes that having a baby is all she needs now for total fulfillment.

That is until a tragic accident reveals her friends in a new and shocking light. As proof of immoral and illegal behaviour unfolds, Kate is forced to find answers to some very difficult questions. Her quest for the truth leads her from Ireland to Budapest.

Along the way her marriage comes under threat while her relationship with her boss turns into something far more than just loyalty to her employer.

Has Kate's chance of complete happiness slipped away from her , never to be recaptured?

Hi Karen ,
Mary O Sullivan here. You're so right. The publishing market is so competitive now. We're all in there trying to find our little corner. Hopefully there will be some space for As Easy As That !

I'm sure there will be. The cover looks really great. Definitely one that I would pick up if I saw it in a bookstore.

Glad you like cover Karen. I like the relaxed , at peace with the world ,feel of it too.
Cover design seems to be one of the biggest aspects of marketing now.
Maybe we should go for level playing pitch. Everyone with brown paper cover! Make for very dull shelves but some interesting results!

Thank you susan.
Isn't this the scary bit!

I really ,really , hope you enjoy reading it as much as I loved writing it.

all the best Mary, let us know how it all goes. Are you having a book launch?

[maryos6]

Thanks Claire. No official launch as such.

Since this would involve me standing up and speaking in public ,I'm afraid I completely chickened out of the idea. There are plans though for a signing in local shopping centre here in Carrigaline.
Don't know why I think that's less intimidating. Could be sitting , pen in hand , sweat on brow, books piled high and shop empty!!

All part of the joys of a writer's life.

And now why would the shop be empty!!!You'll get over it when people start asking about your book

[maryos6]

Claire , there's a secret about local shops. They're easy to fill!!

Do you have plans for a website, Mary?

[maryos6]

Hi Shirley,
I've just got my head around putting post on this board,Shirley!

I enjoyed this forum for a long time as an observer but thought actually participating would take a lot of technical know-how. I was pleasantly surprised at how user-friendly it is. I'm loving it now.

I might ask fellow Cork author Mary Malone for some tips. Mary put up her own web page and did a great job on it too.

Hi Mary, well I have to say, i went into Easons not 2 weeks ago, and as soon as I saw the cover, it was whipped into my basket without a second thought. I absolutley loved it mary, it was fab, really really was! God, im after being givng out on one of the other threads, that there hasnt been anything new released in ages, but now that I think of it, and my other half has just reminded me, that i was getting throught 3-4 books a week for the past few months! opppps, sorry about that so.

anyway, mary, i would defo be adding your good self to my list of favourite authors, really excellent story tellilng. Im a PA myself so could totally relate with Kate, i loved her!

keep up the good work mary and get out another one as soon as you can girl..
