Blog tour: I Know It's You

Welcome to the blog tour for I Know It's You by Susan Lewis! More about the book… Marina Forster has left her past behind. She is happily married with two twin daughters and holds a senior position at a leading publishing company. She never thinks about what happened fourteen years ago, about the scandal, the trial, the trauma that nearly broke her. When a new fiction submission lands on Marina’s desk, she at first thinks nothing of it; That Girl is just another novel by another aspiring writer. But as she reads on, the parallels between the novel and Marina’s own past become ever clearer. At first, she is unnerved; then, she is terrified. Who is writing this? What do they want? And how do they know what happened all those years ago? Increasingly paranoid and unsure who to trust, Marina fears the past may be about to repeat itself. She must put a stop to this before it’s too late – but who will believe her this time? More about the author… Susan Lewis is the internationally b...

Book review: One Minute Later

Image
By Susan Lewis Published by HarperCollins Synopsis: With a high-flying job, a beautiful apartment and friends whose lives are as happy as her own, Vivienne Shager is living the dream. Then, on the afternoon of Vivi’s twenty-seventh birthday, one catastrophic minute changes everything. Forced to move back to the small seaside town where she grew up, Vivi remembers the reasons she left. The secrets, lies and questions that now must be answered before it’s too late. But the answers lie in thirty years in the past… Shelley Raynor’s family home, Deerwood Farm, has always been a special place until darkness strikes at its heart. When Vivi’s and Shelley’s worlds begin to entwine, it only takes a moment for the truth to unravel all of their lives. How did this book end up in my hands? I have read this book via an online serialisation by The Pigeonhole . Was it a page-turner? I liked the author’s writing style since the very first paragraphs but I found it hard to get i...

In conversation with... Susan Lewis

Hi Susan! First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the publication of One Minute Later ! Can you please briefly tell us what it is about? A : It’s about a young woman whose dreams are shattered when she finds out she needs a new heart. The agonising wait changes her life completely as she realises she will never achieve her ambitions, that there is no time to fall in love, or to become a mother. Did you have the plot entirely figured out when you started writing the book or did it take an unexpected turn as the characters grew on the page? A: I’d say I knew about half of it when I started. I like the characters to have free rein in the story and I love being surprised when things take a turn I hadn’t expected. That happens quite a lot. What kind of research, if any, did you have to carry out while you were writing this novel? In general, is research something you enjoy or a means to an end? A: I spent a lot of time talking with Jim Lynskey, a young man who is ...
