Missed Opportunity

So, over in Jackyland, it's been pedal-to-the-metal, all-systems go for the beginning of this year.
I only popped out of my writing cave for a moment or two, and will try and give a round up soon.
But while getting this books page up-to-date, I spotted I'd never even posted about a spur-of-the-minute release. This one was completed early last year, but then the brown stuff hit the whirling blades and all bets were cancelled. I think there's a few 80s cliches feeling a bit miffed they didn't make the cut - yet!

Anyway, here's the one that got away - another Juke Box Musical stuffed with 15 awesome City Boy songs. Here's the blurb:
A spoilt millionaire actress. A hunky Scottish mechanic. A relationship heading for disaster.
On paper, Robin McIntyre has it all - a movie-star wife, a flashy New York apartment and every boy's toy he could ever want. Sitting in the private movie theater, with a very English butler serving caviar and champagne, he wonders exactly what this Glaswegian grease-monkey has done to deserve the life from hell.

Anamarina Storr knows she's acting like a pampered diva but gosh-darn it, she's earned the right. As she pees off yet another hapless assistant, she wonders if she should have listened to her husband's advice about forsaking the increasingly shady leading-lady roles for character parts.

What neither of them realize is that their whole worlds are about to catch fire, courtesy of a sassy biker chic and a sociopathic British spy.

Described as "part romance, part disaster movie and part psychological thriller," it is glued together with great characters, twists, turns and an over the top HEA ending. You can buy The Day the Earth Caught Fire for only 99p/99c.
