This week I'm delighted to welcome Nell Dixon who is just back from the RNA conference and is here to tell her about her latest book, out on July 12th!

I’ve always said I wished I could write like Jessica, so it’s a great honour to be invited to help celebrate her fiftieth book.

I think I’ve read most of those books and enjoyed all of them.
 Jessica was one of the authors who inspired me to try for publication and this July sees the first of my books for Little Black Dress.

Blue Remembered Heels is the story of the Gifford family. Charlie is the oldest sister, then Abbey, the heroine, and Kip, their younger brother. Charlie and Abbey are con artists. All is well until Abbey is struck by lightning, one ordinary Wednesday afternoon out of a clear blue sky. 

The bolt from the blue leaves her with some unfortunate side effects, the main one being that she can’t tell lies any more. As you can imagine this is a bit of a snag for a con artist especially when Hunky detective Mike Flynn begins to take more than a professional interest in Abbey’s activities.

Abbey also begins to get flashbacks to her childhood and her mother’s mysterious disappearance. Things get scary when the Gifford sister’s latest victim decides he wants his money back and he isn’t asking nicely.

Blue Remembered Heels has everything from Footballers wives to dog whispering and was a joy to write. It deals with telling the truth and the fall out of lying. Now I’m hoping readers will love Abbey, Charlie and Kip as much as I do.

I had the idea for the book after reading about a man who was hit by lightning and when he recovered he found he could speak fluent French even though he had never learnt a language. I did some research and found there were lots of well documented cases of quite bizarre side effects from lightning. As a writer it was impossible to resist so Blue Remembered Heels was born.

Thanks Nell!  You can read about Blue Remembered Hells and all the fun Nell had at the RNA conference at her blog.
