Story Synopsis:

When Charlie is cast as Prince Charming in a theme park parade it’s an Ugly Sister who offers to help him in his quest to pull Cinderella, the most gorgeous woman in Florida.

Sneak peek of story:

'So did they tell you what happened to the last one?'
'Last what?'
'Last Prince Charming.'
'No.'
'She broke his jaw.'
'Who did?' 'Cinderella, of course.'

'Cinderella? You’re not serious?'
'I am.'
'How did she do that?'
'Rumour has it she lured him into the Enchanted Forest then jumped out from behind a talking toadstool and flattened him. Left him for dead, she did.'
'Is that why they’ve asked me to be the emergency Prince Charming?'

What location did you choose for your story? It had to be Orlando, Florida since my story is based on the romantic lives of the people inside the the costume characters that parade every day at the theme parks. I used to work for Alton Towers and was lucky enough to blag a few work trips to Orlando to check out what was going on. I’ve been behind the scenes and I find it fascinating that there is this whole other secret world going on that the public never sees…hence my story!

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I lived in Russia for a short while and I also spent three years in America. Both were amazing experiences but the only place I ever want to really live is close to my friends and family. Home for me is definitely about people and not places.

Which destination have you returned to the most? I think it might be New York City. When we lived in the States we were just two hours away by car so we just used to drive there for the weekend! The first time we did it it blew my mind. It was so surreal getting there without being on a plane. My husband got sick so I had to drive us back through Manhattan.  I have never felt so cool and so petrified all at the same time!

Favourite cuisine of the world? Got to be Italian. Everything just tastes better in Italy.

Favourite holiday cocktail? On holiday with a crowd of mates we survived on Sweet Lavinas. Some time after we got home we tried to recreate them. Worst hangover ever!

Song that most makes you feel like summer? World in Motion by New Order. Big football songs always remind me of glorious summers spent having our hearts broken by footballers!

Best/Worst holiday romance? I once kissed a bloke called Aladdin in Turkey… well he said his name was Aladdin!

Author Bio

Tracy began writing when her cruel, heartless husband ripped her away from my dream job, shopping for rollercoasters for the UK’s leading theme parks, to live in America with a brand new baby and no mates. In a cunning plan to avoid domestic duties and people who didn’t understand her Derbyshire accent, she wrote NO-ONE EVER HAS SEX ON A TUESDAY. It went on to be successfully published internationally and become an ebook Number 1 Best Seller in the UK in 2013 before being named Best Author Published Read at the Festival of Romance.

Back in good old England now and delighted that Arrow have published NO-ONE EVER HAS SEX ON A TUESDAY as a paperback and ebook. This will be followed up in the Autumn by a brand new novel which I’m very excited about. The title is a bit off the wall again but it isn’t about Tuesday’s and it doesn’t have the word sex in it! What I can tell you is that the book does involve chickens though! Looking forward to sharing details with you soon.

The sequel to NO-ONE EVER HAS SEX ON A TUESDAY will be released in 2015 when you can catch up with what happens next to Katy, Ben, Matthew and Alison. Not forgetting of course Daniel and Braindead….now there’s a match made in heaven!
