Or at least, the beginning of one?
I am about 35K words into my latest book - which I initially dubbed a chick-lit, but it is a little darker than that. It has being overweight and weight loss as a strong theme so far, and also delves into the idea that simply losing weight doesn't magically solve all your problems.
I have posted the prologue and first chapter on my blog, if anyone woud like to have a look at it and tell me what you think.
Title: All That Glisters
Blurb: Leanne Hughes has it all. She is beautiful, thin, rich and famous! So why is she found in the bathtub of her luxury mansion, wrists slashed? 'All that Glisters' is a dark look at what happens to a normal girl who unexpectedly wins the lottery and finds that money and fame doesn't necessarily bring happiness.
Flyleaf:
All that glisters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
The Merchant of Venice, Act II Scene VII, William Shakespeare
