Romancing September Across the World – Day 14 – Nicky Wells

Good morning everyone! I want to welcome you to the 2nd part of Day 14 of the 3rd Annual Romancing September Across the World Blog Tour. If you haven’t checked out Rosie’s post from earlier, then go by https://rosieamber.wordpress.com/ and get caught up.

Now on to today’s featured author, Here’s the question I asked:

What has been the biggest inspiration for your writing?

Gosh, Stephanie, there’s a question and a half. I don’t even know how to begin to answer it. Trust me, I just consumed two cups of coffee and a half a packet of biscuits (okay, I admit it, I scoffed the lot!), while pondering your question, and I’m still no closer to an answer. Everything inspires me; the briefest snippet of conversation overheard on a bus, an ad on the telly, something one of the kids said or did, gossip from my friends: a writer’s inspiration is just about everywhere, and anything can spark the idea for a book. One of the books I have in the hopper right now was conceived on a bus while I was thinking about people and nine-to-five jobs. Dolly Parton’s classic film sprang to mind, a celebrity made an appearance in my head, and a plot screamed at me to be written down. Tragically I had no pen or paper, so I had to type the whole thing into the ‘note’ section on my mobile phone.

So you see, inspiration is everywhere, and anything can act as a writing prompt. But if you’re asking me why I write, now that’s a different question. I write, because I can’t not. It’s a simple necessity to me, like breathing or drinking water. Partly it’s my way of escapism. You know how people read to take a break from their real lives? Well, I write for that same reason. I write myself an alternative reality, and quite often I see myself in my leading lady’s starring role. (But don’t tell anyone—I might be embarrassed to admit this!). And partly I write because that’s how I make sense of real-life events. Don’t get me wrong, my books are all fiction; but they are also a way of analysing, exploring, and quite possibly improving (in a fictional kind of way) real events out of my own life. My husband always tells me I’m never happier than when I have a book on the go, and he’s probably right. I simply love spinning a good yarn!

Here’s a little bit about today’s author:

Romance that Rocks Your World!

 Ultimate rock chick author Nicky Wells writes romance with rock stars—because there’s no better romantic hero than a golden-voiced bad boy with a secret soft heart and a magical stage presence!

Nicky’s books offer glitzy, glamorous romance with rock stars—imagine Bridget Jones ROCKS Notting Hill! If you’ve ever had a crush on any kind of celebrity, you’ll connect with Nicky’s heroes and their leading ladies.

Born in Germany, Nicky moved to the United Kingdom in 1993 and currently lives in Lincoln with her husband and their two boys. Nicky loves listening to rock music, dancing, and eating lobsters.

Todays featured book is “7 Years Bad Sex”. If you haven’t checked out the her book, then here’s a little about it and where to find it.

A seven-years-bad-sex curse? Surely not! Yet something went wrong when rock singer Casey and drummer Alex got married on that beautiful yacht anchored off St Tropez in the south of France. Something went badly wrong. For even on their wedding night, the young couple discovers a complete and somewhat surprising inability to make love. Muddling through their honeymoon with a string of thin excuses for their predicament, the lovers defer finding a solution (and panicking) until the return to their home in London. After all, they married for life and to make rock music, not for the love of sex. Right?

But when they resume life as normal in London, all hell breaks loose. Increasingly frantic in their quest for release, the unhappy newlyweds embark on a string of hilarious and occasionally harmful antics that drives them, their band, and an assortment of random strangers to the brink of despair. But it ain’t over ‘til it’s over or, in this case… it ain’t over ‘til the newlyweds sing.
