If I had some chick lit book to flog would I get a webchat?

[GordianKnot]

Here. It's a book about a hilarious yet ditsy 30 year old. She likes shoes and chocolate.

Ask me about it.

is the heroine as shallow as she sounds?

and if so, is that cos that is what real women are like?

Ooh yes. All she wants is to get married.

I'm in

Gordianknot I'm loving your work! I keep it on the bathroom floor for when I have a Sit Down. Am dying to know- where did you find inspiration for your character Izzy/Maisie/Flossie [insert other ditsy name here]?

who is your favourite shoe designer?

Roffle

Is the character very self deprecating but clearly utterly in love with herself?

She is called Jessica. Jessie in book natch. Luckily her best mate is up and coming shoe designer who jets Jessie wear shoes. Best mate has Lucky Break in store.

Jessie is a right pickle! Sometimes she forgets her pants!

.. And yes obv irresistible to men. Who never have real names. Like wot they do in chick lit innit.

You're a journalist in real life aren't you?
I'm sure all us little people find that VERY exciting!
Thanks for visiting!

ooh a question

What's your favourite biscuit????

At the Groucho I mainly like cocaine.

Does she have a very vague job in an office and worry about how her makeup will transition from day to night?

MN do charge people to come and do webchats. So now you've had one I'm sure they'll be in touch with an invoice...

Do they really? Yuk, I feel like a chat-prostitute now.

Did David Cameron have to pay for the pleasure of his web chat here?

Nick Clegg paid -- in fact he paid extra for the special humiliation/domination service.

"Would sir like a little something extra? Sir has been a very naughty boy.

Well I hope Cameron got a partial refund as he had a slow/dodgy laptop couldn't type fast enough problem.

I'm not sure about the politicians, but anyone with a book/product/new campaign to plug pays (that came out when first talking about getting Gill Rapley on).

Does anyone really buy a book following a web chat or is it more that people who already read and enjoy the author get a little treat?

Does she return to her home town and have an argument with a rugged and handsome carpenter. It transpires he has a large dog, a large truck, can play the guitar like Eric Clapton and was - well I never - a human rights lawyer but gave it all up.

They dance at the village barn dance and hey! They are soul mates and he turns out to have a rich granny who gives them a charming cottage and Maisie can run a shoe sourcing business whilst waving at Seth doing manly carpentry outside.

There. Written for you.

I did buy a travel-with-children one once. And I made a mental note to look out for Henry Winkler's books, just haven't seen them or parted with any cash.

Oh, and I bought Jamie's 30 minute meals book, although not entirely because of the webchat, although I expect it didn't hurt.

Gramercy
That sounds great! I'd buy it for my chick-lit reading stepmother.

I don't think he's a human rights lawyer. He's a wealthy industrialist who underwent an eco-conversion and threw it all in to become a carpenter, investing his millions in a series of worthy ventures that benefit humanity and the planet but also manage to turn enough of a profit to support the carpentry.

Gramercy, have you got Seth's number?
