Hi all! As promised, I’m sharing our ‘alternative’ book trailer with Substack subscribers first. It will go out on socials tomorrow. Really hope you like it!
So why is it an ‘alternative’ trailer?
Most book trailers are shorter, often animated trailers. But I was really keen to showcase some of the best regional talent we have (because let’s be honest, the North East is full of immensely talented people!). So we made a book trailer in the style of a movie trailer. Which was heaps of fun.
How many ‘sorrys’ can you spot?
Yep - there’s A LOT. But if you counted your own tomorrow, I wouldn’t be surprised if you beat Charlotte. It’s an embarrassing, possibly rather British, societal flaw! We are TERRIBLE for it aren’t we? But I bet we’re not the only ones…
Relate?
If so, hopefully you might enjoy the book…it’s got far too many apologies, a feminist punch, a romantic will-they-wont-they, best friends, Star Wars and mug cakes, cringey workplaces, bad dates and some ridiculous farcical escapades. It’s available for pre-order right now, and will be with you in time for the summer holidays (publishes 3rd August). PLUS, the Kindle edition is available during the pre-order period for just 99p! So I’d get in there if I were you :-)
So please do check it out. If you can. And you’ve got time on your hands. I mean, no worries if not. you absolutely should, in fact, just pre order it.

Huge thanks must go to:
Go North East for the lend of the bus
Recovery Connections for letting us run riot on location at Fork in the Road, Middlesbrough (an absolutely wonderful social enterprise that generates employment opportunities and funding for Recovery Connections - a regional charity with a national reach that supports people affected by addiction).
Let me know what you think in the comments!
