Book Tour: Day 9: Vegemite Vix

It's Day 9 of the Cocktails at Naptime Book tour and it's Vegemite Vix's turn to host. As well as giving the book a rave review she also mentions that it has the perfect plot for a Hollywood movie. What a fabulous idea Vix! You readers out there, please humour us with this little fantasy. At the moment I fancy Tamsin Greig to play me and Sue Gomez as Gillian (both from the crazy UK TV show Green Wing) but we are open to suggestions ...

Extract:


There are lots of  things about Cock­tails at Nap­time that make it funny. The back story for one. You see Emma and Gillian have actu­ally never met. Oh sure they’re met vir­tu­ally through their very witty blogs — Miss­syM Mis­sives and Mommy Has a Headache.

They’ve ‘met’ via emails despite one author liv­ing in Scot­land and the other in the US, but nei­ther of them have actu­ally met their pub­lisher, who hails from Down Under.

If that isn’t the plot for a bril­liant movie, I won­der what is! Two authors meet vir­tu­ally from dif­fer­ent sides of the Atlantic and together pub­lish a book with a  pub­lish­ing house based in Aus­tralia.… you can see the poten­tial for great mirth can’t you!

Yet it seems as if they’ve pulled it off, and how! Not only is the back story amus­ing but the sto­ries are funny in that they are true to life and there is noth­ing that is fun­nier than sto­ries that are real,  keenly observed, and faith­fully retold with tongue planted firmly in cheek!
