Book Name: Some Other Freedom
Release Date: February 15, 2015
Author Name: Catherine L. Byrne
Catherine L Byrne amused herself writing as a hobby for some years until she had her daughter, but becoming a mum made her realise she now had a purpose and time was limited, so she must get on with writing seriously. The winter of 2009 was severe and as she and her family live in a small village, they were house bound by unusually deep snow for southern England. So she settled down in her office (i.e. the corner of her bedroom) and began her first book, which was published in 2010. She hasn’t stopped writing since, generally on the theme of forbidden or unrequited love, and often including erotic scenes.

29 – Do you have any tattoos? If so, what are they?
None, not piercings. I don’t want to spoil the body I was born with.
30 – What has been the biggest surprise to your life after being published?
That people actually think I’m good at writing.
31 – Do you have any writing quirks that have to be done, or anything that you have to have to write?
Water and food next to me, or I forget to eat and drink.
“Here’s your drink, mate,” he said to Anthony, as if asking him a question. Anthony smiled at the Australian accent, and the waiter gave him a subtle wink, making him quickly look away as the man gave Francesca her Daiquiri.
“Shall we eat here too?” said Francesca. “Could we have a menu please?” She smiled, fluttering her eyelashes at the waiter, who smiled back, showing a gold tooth.
“Of course, I’ll get it.” He strode out, reminding Anthony of Blondie at the wedding. How would it feel if this Australian lay on top of him on the huge hotel office desk? He turned back again to his girlfriend. His proper, steady girlfriend.
Lunging to kiss her, his lips hit her cheek, and she twisted her head so their mouths could meet, but he moved the wrong way and kissed her hair. His hand slipped on the arm of her chair and he fell forwards onto her shoulder. A sudden gust of wind, carrying the rotting, fishy smell from the tide going out, forced him to stifle a cough.
“Here you go.” The Australian accent conveyed a hint of amusement as the couple untangled themselves and sat up.

Hi Catherine! Love the blurb!
Hi! I spent ages on the blurb, they are hard to write so glad you like it. Hope you like the book too 🙂
Hi Catherine! I love the blurb and the excerpt was quite funny. Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks. I discovered as I wrote this book, people say funny things unintentionally. I don’t think I could write a book that was completely serious 😉
Hi Catherine 🙂 Congrats on the release! It sounds really good.
