Chick Lit Goddess

Will & Kate

The Royal Baby

Kate&William

Today I received great news!  There will be a royal baby!  Kate and William are expecting their first baby.  Since the day they were married (read blog post HERE), doesn’t seem that the world has been anticipating this news? Wait, let me back up a bit.  I say that “I received great news” because Will and Kate are the future.  They’re the next generation of the Royal Family.  Since the beginning of their courtship, they have gained younger fans, and they seem like a normal couple, ones I might invite over for tea!

I have followed the Royal Family since I was young and loved the late Princess Diana.  I’ve read biographies and have watched interviews from the past and present, and have to say I’m very intrigued by them and the secrets they have (from Harry’s paternity, the Prince Charles and Camilla, to Harry’s partying in Vegas).

How can people not speculate, will it be a boy or girl, twins, what will they name it, and so on, it’s what we do, though I wish for peace for the beautiful couple.  I hope that the paparazzi stays away (unlike they did with Princess Di), though I hear that Prince William watches out for Kate more than Charles did to Diana.  Oh, that’s right, he was too busy canoodling Camilla.

In closing, congratulations to the couple!

Chick Lit: U.S.A. and the U.K.

It’s stories like THIS (where London captures hearts, and new writers are born).  I hear the most about Chick Lit authors – even Emily Giffin did it!

Top 10 British Chick Lit Writers

As for US Chick Lit, I couldn’t really find a good list to share.  (If you have a good list, please add it below in the comments section.  I would love to look it over, and I might even add it to this post).

Now it’s time to talk about book covers?  I came across THIS post about book covers.  Interesting, huh?  What are you thoughts about covers in America and the United States?

What is it about U.K. that inspires Chick Lit writers to come out of the woods?  It’s for this reason that I would move to London (where I would have tea and crumpets with Will and Kate, and maybe even the Queen!), and I’d become famous after writing the next bestseller!  I know, I know, it’s a dream…It’s always just a dream!  If I didn’t love being a Texas girl so much, I would move (bringing my husband and our twelve-year-old cat with me).  “While Chick Lit has (a) massive competitive market in the U.K.,” there is no real evidence if  it’s more popular than in the U.S., says Chick Lit author, Nicola May.

In closing, I know THIS is an old article, but it means a lot to me.  So, my dreams of one day making a life in England can still be a reality? Yes, just maybe!
