| Jane Linfoot and her furbaby |
It's been a hectic week for me, so I'm going to just jump right in and interrogate ask Jane some questions.
Angela: Welcome back to my blog, Jane! Tell us about your new book.
Jane: "High Heels & Bicycle Wheels" is sexy chick lit, with a whole lot of humour and emotion thrown into the mix. Think camper vans, beaches, a hot successful, complex pro cyclist hero, Jackson, whose demons are overtaking him, and a determined heroine, Bryony, who is used to being in control, and isn’t going to give that up without a fight.
It’s two strong people, thrown together, on a road trip neither intended to go on, discovering a lot about themselves on the way, and finding that one summer will change their lives forever. And it’s about the last bit of growing up you have to do, before you’re ready to commit.
Angela: Why should readers pick up a copy?
Jane: It’s fresh, it’s different, it’s got explosive chemistry, and a fab summer feel, which makes it a great beach or poolside read, but it’s also fab to read when you’re at home and want to dream.
Angela: Where did you get the inspiration for this story?
Jane: The inspiration for this story began with Bryony, who marched onto the page fully formed in "The Right Side of Mr Wrong," and refused to go away until I'd given her a stand-alone story of her own. I decided a successful pro cyclist, who was not only tough and superhuman, but with a raft of his own insecurities and complexities would be the prefect foil for her. And what better way to throw then together, than on a camper van road trip, in picturesque Southern England.
Angela: Let’s get to know you a little better. What’s your dream vacation destination?
Jane: Provence
Angela: What book do you most recommend to others?
Jane: Everyone should have a copy of "The Paper Bag Princess" by Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko
Angela: If you could have any super power, what would it be and why?
Jane: I'd like to do the thought bubble reading thing….just for a day, to see how it felt. Or maybe an hour would be long enough.

Angela: That would be fun! Thanks for stopping by, Jane! Please check out Jane's newest release, which is now available for purchase on Amazon US and Amazon UK. Learn more about Jane at her official website, http://www.janelinfoot.co.uk.
Meet Bryony: she’s a fun-loving, very single TV production assistant whose idea of sport is the Jimmy Choo sales scrum.
Meet Jackson: Cycling’s bad boy superstar. Injured and out of a certain race this summer, without his training, he’s looking for another distraction…
Bryony’s facing a triple whammy – her last single friend just named the day, her mother’s offering to have her eggs frozen, and the guy she’s loved from afar, forever, has just got hitched. So she’s more than happy to accept the offer of a totally out of character but seriously steamy one night of no-strings fun. Especially when the guy in question is so attractive he even looks good in Lycra!
Jackson’s on the lookout for a new career but if the opportunity to work on TV means a fortnight with the most uptight woman in the world, he’d rather not bother. He never goes in for seconds – and who in their right mind would head off in a campervan, with a woman who irons her knickers?
Add in a tandem (yes a tandem) and fast forward to double trouble for a summer neither of them will ever forget!
