Want to Take Mr Darcy Home? How About a Free Audio Book Giveaway?

Win an audio copy of the book The Sunday Post called  “Jubilant —A Must-Read for any woman worried about life after 40."

I am thrilled to announce that the long-awaited audio version of my award-winning book, In Search of Mr Darcy: Lessons Learnt In The Pursuit Of Happily Ever After, is now available in North America. Woot, Woot!

To celebrate, I am having a very special Mr Darcy audiobook giveaway contest. Now, before you ask, yes, I am narrating. So, depending on where you like to listen, you could take Mr Darcy (and me) to bed with you. 😘

For all of you not familiar with this book let me start by asking you this question. Have you ever woken up one morning, stared deep into the mirror, and with genuine confusion screamed, "How the hell did I get here?" And, more importantly, who can I blame? Oh, and where the hell did that wiry chin whisker come from?"

Yup, I thought so. 

Likened to Nora Ephron by novelist and playwright Stephen May, In Search of Mr Darcy is a hilarious, unfiltered dating memoir that follows a woman (me) through four decades of relationships amid life's messiest moments as I search for Mr Darcy. Yes, that elusive literary Prince Charming we have been all but promised since childhood. But hold up, life isn't a fairy tale…and it sure as heck isn't a Jane Austen novel. 

It takes us on a real-life Sex And The City-like journey exploring the colorful, intimate story of marriage(s), divorce(s), affairs, friends, frenemies, addiction, body image, sexual predators, and the often thankless task of single-parenting and step-parenting, a job as potentially life-threatening as that of a Chilean coal miner.

Filled with candid truths and valuable life lessons, like how day drinking won't solve your problems (but it was worth a shot) or…the surprising effectiveness of a perfectly timed one-night stand —which did prove to be more effective than years of therapy. 

In Search of Mr Darcy isn't just a book about love and loss; it's a survival guide that Redefines Love, Loss and What It Means to Come of Age… Middle Age.

What people are saying about In Search of Mr Darcy.

Oh, and ya, did I mention the awards…? #humblebrags

I look forward to sharing more details as they become available, and I’m afraid I can only address the rumors that Charlize Theron will be playing me in the film adaptation (duh) as “no comment.” And for those who do take the time to listen to the audio version, I want to hear from you once you're done. I mean it! Recording this book took me four days, and they were amongst the hardest in my writer's life. And in the next book, I will greatly reduce the number of three-syllable words. Don’t believe me? Take a look.

Thank you to all my readers for your continued support and enthusiasm. And a particular shout-out to those who left glowing reviews. I am deeply humbled that my story resonates with so many of you.

I believe this calls for a glass of Chardonnay with a single ice cube.
Cheers, and happy listening.
