About this author

Michele Gorman was born and raised in the US, but lost her heart to London nearly 15 years ago and is now a card-carrying Brit. After several years of writing literary fiction she turned her hand to chick lit. Single in the City is her first published novel, published by Penguin in the UK and abroad. In October 2011 she self-published the book in the US. She's blogging about the ups (and downs!) of the experience on www.michelegormanwriter.blogspot.com.

Since procrastination is an essential element in writing, Michele spends way too much time on twitter and facebook and would be thrilled for readers to join her there. So follow @expatdiaries on twitter, send a friend request on www.facebook.com/michele.gorman3 or visit her website.

description: Hola folks!

I am turning the dreaded "Three Oh" this weekend and I realized this week that I have accomplished my one and only REAL before-i-turn-thirty goal: I finished a book! It seems only fitting to share it in celebration of my 30th birthday.

Though my birthday is on the 27th (Sunday) I thought it would be better to do the free Kindle giveaway on the 28th - the first day of my thirties :)

I tried to like this book, I really did. But I found the characters two-dimensional. I didn't care about them in the least bit and would have liked to get under the skin of the main character and see her emotions. Not a book for me.

Ulrike Hey Michele, I loved Single and the City and can't wait to read Misfortune Cookie. Will this be available as print version, too? I could only find the kindle version on Amazon.


Michele Gorman Hi Jessica, yay, glad we're connected! I've just started to write my next book, which (very excitingly!) I'm writing with the help of readers. I'm asking questions about characters and plot (and title!) and there are almost 50 women already helping me. It's like a writing community where we can discuss aspects of the book as I write it - if you'd like to get involved you can go to the blog (michelegormanwriter.blogspot.com) and join in. If you add your email on the left of the blog you'll get a note each time we post a new question. You can also follow me on Twitter (@expatdiaries) or send facebook request (www.facebook.com/michele.gorman3) since I'll always post when a we start discussing a new question.

Thanks!
Michele x


Jessica Ramirez Hey thanks for the friend request! I'd love to help with recommendations to help you with your writing!
