Which one of you bitches is my mother?

I had some exciting news this week: my brilliant publishers at MIRA have secured a nationwide adrail campaign for TEMPTATION ISLAND, starting on June 28 and running for two weeks. All the big stations will be involved - Euston, London Bridge, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, to name a few! - and we can't wait to see TEMPTATION ISLAND splashed across the country. Hopefully it will get everyone feeling summery and ready to jet off on holiday with their perfect by-the-sea read; I haven't seen the creatives yet but if you're familiar with the cover then you'll know they're likely to look like a hot-pink sparkly Sex on the Beach. Appropriate, because as well as sensational celebrities, outrageous scandal and the most shocking reveal you're likely to read this year, the novel incorporates lots of beaches and, well, lots of sex. 

So, keep an eye out. The first person to email me a pic of one of the posters gets a free copy of the book. Email vfoxwrites@gmail.com.

In other news, I've just finished filming my promo vids ahead of publication. This involved going to a load of swanky bars with my sister, ordering Cosmopolitans and chatting to camera about TEMPTATION ISLAND, the inspiration behind the book and why I believe the bonkbuster revival is long overdue. We're editing the videos right now but they should be ready soon. I hate seeing myself on film (doesn't everyone?) but the Cosmos definitely helped. That said my sister spilt hers down us halfway through, confirming when our belongings became caramelised my suspicion that 98% of it was sugar. For the rest of the night I was forced to carry round a sticky tripod, which contrary to popular belief I don't make a habit of doing.

But speaking of the bonkbuster revival, have you seen this?! http://tinyurl.com/bv8nrgz. It's the forthcoming reissue of Shirley Conran's classic bonkbuster LACE, which I for one am very excited about. Look at the cover! The glamour! The lips! The jewels! The snakeskin! It's glorious. We need more books like this - exciting, explosive, extraordinary - and with TEMPTATION ISLAND hitting the shops in June, I think this is going to be a positively sizzling summer. The synopsis for LACE begins, 'Which one of you bitches is my mother?' Enough said.
