Reunions - Launch Week Day Two


So, yesterday (Sunday), I started my Reunions launch week really well by totally forgetting to run my giveaways while I was on Beaten Track Radio. That's typical of me...as is blaming Nige, and it was his fault. Honest. ;)

Thank you to all of you who tuned in and listened on Sunday. I had a lot of fun, and your questions were awesome!

Now, the whole point of these launch week shenanigans is to let people know about the release of Reunions, because I do have a few series readers, but it's been a couple of years since Season Six (Two By Two) was released, and I want to make sure everyone who's interested gets to know about it.

If you are new to Hiding Behind The Couch you probably don't want to start with Reunions. Although I do re-introduce the characters in each of the main books (the 'Seasons'), there will be lots of spoilers relating to events that have happened previously. The good news is that you can download the first prequel (Beginnings) and Season One (Hiding Behind The Couch) for free. It's an ongoing series, so there's no rush to catch up. :) The free downloads can be found here: http://hidingbehindthecouch.com/?n1=where_to_buy#free - you can also download Beginnings for free on Amazon.

What about those giveaways? I hear you ask (or not, but you know what I mean).

Up for grabs:
- an advanced ebook copy of Reunions - just reply to this post if you're up for it.
- a custom, one-of-a-kind Hiding Behind The Couch t-shirt - if you fancy that, comment 't-shirt'. We'll talk size later. The design will be a 'witty quip' from the series (or something along those lines). We have a wonderful local company that will make t-shirts with any print and in any quantity. So far, Nige has bought me four as presents, which leads to some interesting conversations - I think that's probably the point, except it goes something like this:

Person: #PDJ?
Deb: Yeah. It's a character in my series. I killed them. It stands for 'Poor Dead J...'
Person: Oh. *polite nod*

Person: Who's Josh?
Deb: *peers down at t-shirt which reads 'What Would Josh Do?'* He's the main character in my series. It's called Hiding Behind The Couch.
Person: So, what, he's a superhero or something?
Deb: No, he's a psychologist.
Person: Oh. *polite nod*

Person: Do you like horses?
Deb: *sighs and curses Nige for buying a t-shirt printed with SAY IT, DO IT, HORSE IT. Meanwhile, Nige is laughing and thinking it's hilarious* Nope. It's a game I made up in my series. It's called the Love Hearts Game.
Person: The series is called the Love Hearts Game?
Deb: No, that's Hiding Behind The Cou...oh, never mind. Yes, I like horses.

Person: Are they a big company, then, Jeffries and Associates?
Deb: In their world, yes. It's a fictional logistics company in my series, Hi—
Person: Logistics, eh? That's some serious adventure. *walks off, chuckling*

Just kidding. They amuse my chiropractor anyway. (That's Don Palmer at http://www.ormskirkchiropractic.co.uk)

I think that's all for this post, apart from the purchase links...


Thanks for reading,
Deb x

Ironing, lie-ins, Zion

It's Sunday morning! That's excellent news if dull skies and musty churches are your idea of fun; I did find myself momentarily wishing for rain this morning, as it's also mid-October and the privet needs one last haircut. I won't be going to church either, but that's another story for another day. So there I was sitting in the thinking room, and it came to me that had I ever aspired to be a more domesticated type, I could spend today cooking meals to fill the freezer. Unfortunately I have never been that person and so the freezer is safe. However, it did get me thinking that I might share some recipe ideas with the world. I know it's perhaps not what any previous visitors to this weblog might expect, and I could no doubt produce an acidic and lengthy commentary on a bit of a battle Nige has had with the organisers of PodcastCon UK 2006 over the past couple of weeks. In brief, for the sake of consistency, I will say this: it has been apparent for quite some time...

Reunions - Josh and George: Stating the Obvious #RainbowSnippets #LGBTQ

Brief explanation: This is another snippet from Reunions (Hiding Behind The Couch Season Seven), which continues to grow. And grow. Current word count: 209,000. I’m aiming to stay under the word count of Two by Two (Hiding Behind The Couch Season Seven) …now I’ve passed all the other limits I set at the start. ;) Here’s a little more of Josh and George, this time together. Here’s the snippet: Josh looked him up and down as he got in the car. “Whose clothes are they?” “Mine.” George was thrown by the question and forgot to deliver his customary kiss. He attempted to rectify that, but Josh dodged him. He was still eyeing George’s clothes. “Are they?” “Who else’s would they be?” “Well, Jake’s, or…I don’t know. It just dawned on me you came to work in overalls.” “Under which I wear clothes,” George said like he was stating the obvious, because he was, in fact, stating the obvious. Josh remained perplexed. “What’s up?” * * * * * Rainbow Snippets is a group for L...
