While I haven't read an advanced copy of the book, I'm eagerly awaiting it because of Alison's amazing facility with language (read her flash fiction on her blog here) and our shared lay interest in science and mutual fandom of Douglas Adams.
But Alison is also a mother to four young children and we've had many a conversation over all things child developmental. I'm sure her personal experiences will feed into the novel as it's about, well a housewife, with a half-life!
Here's a brief synopsis of what the book is about:
A Housewife's answer to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy! In this lively space comedy, Susan Strong and her spaceman guide Fairly
Dave dodge entropy hoovers, Geezers with Freezers, the Super Gnome and the
Spinner's cataclysmic converter on a mission to retrieve the lost pieces of the
housewife's disintegrating self across parallel universes. Can they save us all
from Universal Devastation?
The
ebook is available on Kindle from May 8th and will be out in print in June.
To coincide with the launches, Alison is running all sorts of promotions. Follow her on Twitter @alisonwells for more information.
Good luck with the launch Alison, I can't wait to get hold of my print copy!
