Take on Amazon Web Splash - The Hating Game, Talli Roland

The beauty of blogging is that you get the chance to discover some incredibly talented people. A blogger I've followed for some time is writer Talli Roland. Today I am helping to promote her debut novel - The Hating Game  - which has just launched as an ebook.

The idea behind the Take on Amazon Web Splash is to help Talli Roland's debut novel The Hating Game hit the Kindle bestseller list at Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com. Over 450 people are  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. The Hating Game can be found on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com

For those without a Kindle - you can download a free app at Amazon for Mac, iPhone, PC, Android and more. A paperback version of the book will be out soon.

Keep up with the latest at www.talliroland.com.

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 £2000,000 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?

Good luck Talli!

I was going to write...

I was going to write about IJ today and how has reached the point where she is happy, healthy and proud of herself.

I was going to write about The Worry Book we discovered that helps children cope with anxiety through a range of really helpful exercises and some beautifully written text.

I was going to say what a relief it is to be starting the Easter holidays on a positive, upbeat note and how wonderful it is that she has passed through her difficult stage.

I was going to expand on all of the above.

But I've decided not to.

I wrote a post about the term 'Mummy bloggers'. I wrote it to highlight what a wonderful and talented bunch we all are; that we are mummies and so much more. And I wrote it because it is a term whose meaning I had been thinking about recently. I wanted to share my thoughts. That's all.

I wish I hadn't.

The post has created a wider debate about the term 'mummy bloggers' that seems to have resulted in anger and upset. It was never my intention to write a post that would spark debate and create friction within the mummy blogging community. It was supposed to be an empowering post not a divisive one.

So I'm taking a break from it all. 

For the time being at least, I don't want to do this anymore.

Escaping it all

Some unexpected good fortune has come our way, and after a hectic half-term week the timing could not be better.

Our very dear friend and confidant Mr F. Antasy has offered us both  a luxury pass allowing us to spend several days at the fabulous White Lies Health Spa in nearby Derbyshire.

Never one to turn an excellent opportunity down, we have accepted his invitation with huge excitement and will be heading off ... well as soon as I have finished this final blog post.

Already I am excited at the prospect of a well-earned break and a chance to escape it all.

So if I am not blogging or tweeting for some time, in fact I know I won't be, it's because I'm escaping it all in the luxurious surroundings of my slightly over-active imagination and enjoying some much needed time-out with my daughter.

But I will be thinking of you all and wishing you well.

Thanks for reading.

See ya ...  I'm off! xx
