Katy Lilley—romance with sass

Hello, it's #MidWeekTease time, so here, without further ado, is my tease... 'When you know, just know that the bloke might be a pain in the you know what, but he is your pain in the you know what.' She grinned. 'That time. bloody uncomfortable, I tell ya.' 'And next?' She grimaced. 'Ah, that's the rub. Who knows? I'm just the lowly teacher here. The one who seems to have sent in an application form, had an interview and got a job I'm not sure I want. With a bloke nagging me, who lives a lifestyle I wouldn't touch with a bargepole.' She paused for effect. 'And who I fancy like crazy. In fact if he played his cards right he could have me. Here, now, over the table or whatever. Pathetic or what?' She sighed. 'And now I have to come up with a teaching plan, act like a grown up and get used to fresh air not air de brewery and abatoir.'

Hello again. I've finished my WIP with those two magic words, 'The End' and as ever I have this idea niggling me. It's about Maisie, who is a secondary character in my last two books. what do you think? (Maisie is a teacher in a London primary school.)     It was one of those surreal moments when you begin to doubt your sanity. Maisie stared at the form she’d just taken out of a very official looking envelope, blinked, and stared again. Had she applied and not realised it, or was it a wind up ad a semi clad bloke was hiding behind her front door to shout gotcha? There, in black and white the form was headed, “Application for head teacher at the combined Brindish Primary School.” She hadn’t applied for any position, especially not out with her beloved London and in the wilds of Devon, even if her best friend now lived there. The phone range and she clicked on reply to hear said best friend’s voice. ‘Did you get it have you filled it in and ...

Hello again. Weirdly I can get into my photos on here but not on my Raven blog. What is the universe trying to tell me? Anyhow while I can, and before I'm jinxed here as well, here's this week's #MidWeekTease Where Lottie tells it all (well nearly) ‘I’m going to cuss the fact I’m carless for a few days I guess, but hey ho. The new me will bite her lip and put up with it.’ Gibb asked the question he was dying to know the answer to. ‘What was the old you then?’ He watched her take a deep breath. ‘A snotty, grotty, up her own self, harridan. I’m not allowed to say cow because my I’m told that’s derogatory to cows. Mind you, I guess bitch falls under the same heading. Let’s say, I was full of my own self importance and didn’t suffer fools or indeed most other people gladly. In my defence I could say I reckon a psychiatrist would have a field day and say something like I was miserable, unhappy with my life and projected that misery onto other...

Yes, it's my seven sentences that might not be hot, but are worth a read (I hope) Today I'm teasing from A Regency that will hopefully come out next year  Amanda and the Duke Where Amanda is happily single but her Papa thinks she should be married. And where several young ladies decide to enjoy themselves before the settle down. "Then we leave for London in a week,' her papa said. 'We can make arrangements for your engagement ball and wedding.' We can? Oh no we can not. ‘I want the season as an unattached, and 'not as on the lookout for a husband', young lady,’ Amanda said firmly. ‘Whether he thinks I have accepted his proposal or not is immaterial. Actually how can I when I don't know who he is, I doubt I have ever met him, and no proposal to me has been made, let alone accepted.’ Catch all the other #SexySnippets  here Enjoy your reading, love Katy xx

Hi all, Welcome to #MidWeekTease. I'm about 20K into my next book, set in my favourite city in the word, Hong Kong, so my tease is from there. Blurb... When Guido stated he didn't want her, and never would, Rachel left. Now Guido has hunted her down to explain what had happened and to ask for her help. Dare she believe him or is she opening herself up to heartbreak again? Your #MidWeekTease The door to the apartment opened and she swung around in surprise, the coffee in her cup sloshing dangerously near the rim. The taller than average, curvy and elegant woman dressed in clothes that screamed ‘designer’ who stood in front of Rachel looked her up and down with contempt. Oh dear oh dear. Makes my jeans and t look as if I’m about to go scrubbing floors. She waited to see what on earth this visitation was all about. And of course who the woman was. ‘Does Guido know the servants drink his coffee?’ The voice was a mid Atlantic twang, so at odds with her appea...

Hello again. My (not so) #SexySnippets are all about a dog today... (Source, pinterest) "How come the dog can trot down the gangplank of the ferry without putting a foot wrong and I sway like a drunk on a ten day bender?" Gibb grinned. "He has four feet?' "Maybe and he also has a cheek to follow us, expect a free ride over the river and no doubt a fish supper on the prom. Which reminds me, I better text Bryony and tell her Mop the cousin of Houdini has done it again." "Cousin of Houdini?" "Can get out of anywhere, hence his presence here and not at home, tucked up with his pipe and slippers and a good book, or in a dogs case I suppose that's a rubber chew, Dario's slippers and hopefully not a good book."

It's the time of the week to do some sentence sharing... As I've just come back from the area of Devon, in England where my Cliff Cottage books are set, I thought I'd go back to New Beginnings for Bryony Bennett for today's seven sentences. ( available from Amazon  here  ) Blurb... When Bryony Bennett’s godmother dies and leaves her a huge inheritance, Bryony jumps at the chance to get away from it all and start again. She packs up her life and moves into the (almost) idyllic Cliff Cottage…only to find that starting over is never quite as simple as you imagine. Faced with grumpy neighbours, hostile locals and more than her fair share of disasters, Bryony embarks on a mission to make sure her new life is everything she wants it to be…but will she ever win over the locals and truly be happy in her new life? ‘I’m here.’ Her voice was loud in the silence. The only noise was the ticking of the engine as it cooled, and the...
