Written from the Heart

By Trisha Ashley

Book Overview

-- Previously published in 2008 as 'Happy Endings' --

The witty, weird and wonderful abound in this early romantic comedy by Sunday Times bestselling author Trisha Ashley.

Tina Devino makes more money teaching people to write than writing herself. A middling romance novelist who dreams of penning a bestseller, she's increasingly forced to compete with younger, blonder debut authors for her publisher and agent's attention.

Feeling forgotten, Tina realises the only way up is to take her career and destiny in hand and build her own happy ending; which is perfect because, for a romance writer, Tina isn't the most traditional of women... Although she does see her long term partner lover friend, Sergei, once a week which is 'quite enough, thank you very much'. But her uncomplicated love life might soon need some unravelling when a mysterious Tube Man, unwelcome ex-husband and a shadowy figure in a butterfly mask waltz into the picture.

Only Tina can work through the drama and claim the life she's always wanted... but will she succeed?

Hilariously warm, quirky and feel-good, Trisha Ashley's writing is perfect for fans of romantic comedies by Milly Johnson and Jill Mansell.

Customer Reviews

Smart, witty brit lit with a chick of a certain age

I've just discovered Trisha Ashley, and I'm only a few chapters into this book -- and I'm already in "lit love" with her! Her main character is smart and funny, and -- hurrah! -- happily middle-aged and sexually active. Brit romance novelist Tina Devino is battling a publishing world that doesn't appreciate "midlist authors." I don't know how this will turn out, but I'm already behind the quirky and sympathetic Tina all the way...and ready to order Ashley's other books.
