As a treat (?!) for new readers, here I am reading the first chapter of The Family Trap in my lounge last November. Regular blog viewers might have seen this so stifle those yawns!
Now for giveaway time! The first five people to leave a comment and tell me what they liked about the first chapter I just read out WINS a Kindle copy of The Family Trap. It’s that easy 
I’ll be back after lunch, don’t eat all the nibbles and keep the Champagne flowing!
Hi Jo,
Happy Launch Day!
My favourite part of chapter one is the sentence where Stella says: “Lipsy’s baby is born in the toilet.” I made me laugh out loud and I thought fitted the tone and scene perfectly.

Thanks Rachael, you’re the first winner of a free Kindle copy
Email me at joanne g phillips @ gmail . com and I’ll send you your prize xxx
I like Lipsy telling them all to piss-off in the cubicle and Stella realising that she is an independent person. The whole first part is very amusing.
Thanks Penny – winner number 2! I’ll email you your copy right now
Hope you’re well, and glad you liked the first chapter xxx
I like it that you jumped straight in, to bring the story up to date. A graphic start once again shared in that honest friendly tone style that you write so well. Birthing is a beautiful-brutal-comedy-tragic moment in life – captured that.
Thanks Debra, winner #3! Yes, used my own giving birth experiences there (not the toilet bit, thankfully!) xxx
Brilliant. Was welling up, listening to you read it, imagining it happening to one of my girls. Good luck with launch!
Thanks Haley
Send me an email at joanne g phillips @ gmail . com and I’ll send you your copy. Winner #4! xxx
Good luck with the launch. Guess it`s been a long,long road.
Thank you – boy, has it? I’m ready for a nice long holiday … Or else it’s time to get started on the next book
Loved this! You should make an audiobook — your accent is lovely
Thanks Michelle – winner number 5! Have I got your email address? If not send me an email and I’ll get your Kindle copy to you asap.
