As well as being a Sassy Minx, I’m also an author-girl who has created a series of tween/teen fiction and non-fiction books based on hipster heroine, Lola Love. Now, Lola may not be a Sassy Minx just yet, but she is feisty, fun, fearless and fabulous and has two brand-spankin’-new books Time to Shine and Li’l Miss Bliss out TODAY!

Yep, consider this a shameless plug, well… it is my blogginz, right?!! In case you know nothing ’bout Lola and her Pink Ladies, visit my author blog for all the deetz, basically they’re aimed at 9+ girls but they’re filled with fun and fabulousness for both girls and grown-up girls, promise! Now, I know I should be all about the words, what with me being the one who wrote them and all, but seriously, how cute are those freakin’ covers?!! Aren’t they just bee-yoooooou-tiful?!

Time to Shine
Lola has snagged a role in the school musical but she’s got a serious case of tummy butterflies! Not only has she got to sing, dance and act but she also has to plant a big one on the lips of her leading man – one Mr Jake Farrell! Even with her Pink Ladies cheering her on, Lola isn’t sure she’s ready to take centre stage or get up close and personal with the object of her crushage. And when Charlie’s cutie-patootie cousin Oscar appears on the scene, things get even more confusing in Lola land.

Li’l Miss Bliss
Lola couldn’t be happier that the Mothership is dating Bella’s pa, Yoga Dad. Or at least she thinks she couldn’t. All of a sudden, Bella has gone from Pink Lady to I-know-best-big-sort-of-sister and it’s all a little too much for Lola Love.When Yoga Dad offers to take the new family and the Pink Ladies to a super cool music festival, Lola knows she should be all kinds of excited but instead, her life starts spinning out of control. Everything is going topsy turvy – fashionista Angel is wearing wellies, sweet Sadie is away with the fairies (literally), Bella is monopolising the Mothership and Lola doesn’t know where she’s supposed fit in anymore. It looks like happy families are no easier to deal with than unhappy ones…

You can get your copies of Time to Shine and Li’l Miss Bliss – they make perfect gifts for any young feisty, fun, fearless and fabulous girl in your world, or yourself, obv. – from Amazon and Play f’sure, and if your local bookstore doesn’t have them in (shame on them!) ask them to order them for you!

Can’t wait to hear what you all think!
