My writing friend Talli Roland is a clever girl. She’s come up with a ‘wizard  wheeze’ to get her debut novel THE HATING GAME to hit the Kindle bestseller list at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk by spreading the word today. Even a few sales in a short period of time on Amazon helps push the book up the rankings, making it more visible to other readers.

About THE HATING GAME:
When man-eater Mattie Johns agrees to star on a dating game show to save her ailing recruitment business, she’s confident she’ll sail through to the end without letting down the perma-guard she’s perfected from years of her love ’em and leave ’em dating strategy. After all, what can go wrong with dating a few losers and hanging out long enough to pick up a juicy £200,000 prize? Plenty, Mattie discovers, when it’s revealed that the contestants are four of her very unhappy exes. Can Mattie confront her past to get the prize money she so desperately needs, or will her exes finally wreak their long-awaited revenge? And what about the ambitious TV producer whose career depends on stopping her from making it to the end?
Enjoy!

Dressed in my best party-cardi (it was bitterly cold), I made my way to the Institute of Mechanical Engineers’ building on Birdcage Walk, London. Several other well-bundled up figures were hurrying up the steps, eager to be out of the wet and cold. The Twitterverse had been full of anticipation and the evening didn’t disappoint.
Old friends, new friends, Twitter friends. I had a sore throat by the end of the evening, relieved only by the odd glass of wine. The keynote of RNA occasions is collegiate, warm, supportive – one of the huge pleasures of belonging.
Strange, but enjoyable, meeting up with Twitter friends in person. Some are exactly as their personalities project on-line, others quieter or noisier. But that’s the intriguing part of it…
But as the last big event of the Association’s 50th Anniversary festivities. the party celebrated the New Writers’ Scheme which had launched many successful careers.
Roll on next year…

33. When was your character last scared, and what were they scared of?
34. What is your character’s favourite colour, and why?
