The Perfect Man
I’m writing about what I know here – at least, in a way! Britt, my heroine, is a writer. She had a successful career as a divorce lawyer before writing a book as therapy to get over her own divorce. Her assistant saw the manuscript and (unknown to Britt) sent it to a friend who found a publisher for it. The book, The Perfect Man, was an instant romantic bestseller and is now being made into a star-studded movie. But Britt never wanted to be a writer and she can’t deal with people thinking that she must be a romantic person herself, especially as she has no time for men. However her agent has booked her to be the guest speaker on a major cruise ship’s Valentine Cruise which is Britt’s idea of hell on earth.
The issue I wanted to look at in this book was our own perceptions of ourselves versus those of other people. Britt’s sister, single parent Mia, accompanies her on the cruise and both of them see each other very differently. And they both have their own opinions on their fellow travellers too….

Hi Sheila, I’m a new reader of yours from Italy, a friend of mine has just given me the book THE PERFECT MAN as a present(perhaps because I’m still looking for this man!!)and I’m reading it. I already find it fantastic,but I’ll tell you better when I finish it!
Bye bye and congratulation for your style, thatI didn’t know!

Sorry but I was not a fan of this novel – it was too gushy and I found Britt to be a total hypocrite.

Hi Sheila,
I am about to go into hospital for a hip replacement and have to be off work for 12wks so The Perfect Man is great timing as i am still reading Someone Special and then i will have just enough time to read Bad Behaviour before the September UK release date. It sounds like its going to be a very thought provoking one can’t wait and as i always say keep writing your books are simply awesome. xx
