Win #StarlightDiner-themed Goodies!

The 1st of August 1990 is the date the timeline begins on my first novel, Milkshakes and Heartbreaks at the Starlight Diner. As it’s the 1st of August today (albeit twenty-six years later), I’m giving away a copy of the diner-set film Waitress staring Keri Russell and Nathan Fillion on DVD, some milkshake sweets to scoff while you watch it and a Starlight Diner pin badge designed by Dan Evans.

The competition runs until Monday 8th August 2016.

Winners will be announced on Twitter on 9th August 2016.

If you haven’t already seen it, you should know Waitress is an absolutely cracking film. I didn’t watch it until after I’d finished writing my first novel as I knew there were similar themes between the film and what I was writing and I didn’t want my story to become accidentally derivative. When I finally turned my work into HarperCollins and watched the film however, I was blown away by it. The script is so innovative and the characters are so warm and layered you can’t help but root for them.

If you choose to enter, good luck in the giveaway!

My first novel, Milkshakes and Heartbreaks at the Starlight Diner is out now for just 99p.
